Neither Biden or Trump understands technology at all. But one is transactional, the other was obstinate.
If you believe that winning AI is an American and corporate imperative, as they obviously and must do, their choosing to work with Trump was inevitable.

And I have to add, and many here will hate me for this, but Biden bears a lot of responsibility for this mess. He refused to engage with the biggest tech players. He ignored them.
With so much at stake, that was one of the all time blunders. It pushed them all into the arms of Trump.

I think we all wish they were better actors as a group. And the anti trust actions will hopefully clean some things up. Just realize they all look at this as their own version of Survivor. They each know that any of them could be the next IBM. A once dominant company turned into an afterthought

They just know they can’t let Trump write an executive order or make a move that changes the balance of AI power. And honestly, despite all the things to despise (and admire ) about each, it’s in the interest of national security and our economy for the dominant AI companies to be American

They don’t care about Trump. But they can’t let him put his “thumb on the scale “ and push them back, or one of the others forward.

Giving millions and kissing a ring when trillions are at stake, is nothing.

The Ring Kissers truly don’t know where AI will take their businesses or the world.

Billboard material!
