I'm not sure the Marshall Plan is the best analogy (and not sure what a good parallel would be offhand), but the intention is clear - to expand the US AI stack so that others are dependent ("addicted" in the words of Howard Lutnick) on the technology

While disappointing (and likely to not work), Carney’s reliance on incentivizing the private sector to lead an economic revolution is very much in line with his view of government as a burden to be minimized, not a unique asset to be exploited. See: tax cuts, austerity.

AI companies should go under and financially wipe out VCs. exec's should go to prison for putting systems into the world that were instrumental in numerous suicides without any consideration for those risks. there should be consequences for experimenting on the public on roads and in social settings
