IDK what exactly you’re not understanding but I suspect it’s the difference between a gift and a purchase. The US will not be purchasing this 50% stake in OpenAI with additional money. It will be free. It was technically paid for with all the (not public) IP they used to create these models in the first place.

When you get something in return for nothing, that something is always a positive value even if it’s just a fraction of what it started as.

I’m with you, just pointing out the barriers.

There’s no free bandwidth just sitting around and waiting to be exploited, Internet 2.0 will have to be discreet or expensive.

There is no “investing”, they stole the IP so they owe the People a 50% stake. If the whole company is only worth $100 in a year then the American people will get to split the last $50 amongst ourselves, not be on the hook for bailing out yet another failure.

lol Bernie was talking about 50% and their counter is apparently 5%. What’s say we meet in the middle with… oh, 55%? (math by ChatGPT)

Then you’re just going to have the FCC regulating the high-throughput bandwidths until you’re left with the unregulated ones for consumers… like LoRa… and Meshtastic lol.

Going to be hard since the hardware sitting between all those wires cost money to run and… that’s pretty much what ISPs get paid do. They’re assholes who shouldn’t have a say in what goes through those connections but their job isn’t redundant, someone has to do it to maintain those connections.

Meshtastic? LoRa?

Or do you mean something like VPN tunneling?
