If the Markets Reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US Should Nationalize Them

The article discusses the potential nationalization of OpenAI and Anthropic due to market rejection. Their founders initially aimed to develop AI for the public interest, but they were co-opted by market incentives. If these companies fail financially, the US should nationalize them and convert them into national labs operated under democratic control. The economics of big AI labs are uncertain, with narrow payback windows and commoditized models.
