Americans, Open AI wants a federal guarantee to cover the cost of data centers they can't afford. You happy to bail them out?
"Tell your congress person — today — that you don’t want your taxes used to bail out over-hyping and economically shaky AI companies that spend far more than they earn."

OpenAI probably can’t make ends meet. That’s where you come in.

"Even at its most sorrowful, anti-authoritarian, and smart-alecky, Gunn’s work endorses a fundamentally promising vision of life. Gallows humor and a keen bullshit detector are necessary for survival, but reflexive nihilism and blind obedience are deeply uncool. The ultimate rebellion is optimism."
I wrote a piece on the work of writer and director James Gunn, who is engaged in a pretty incredible ongoing enterprise that despises bigotry and authoritarianism and reaffirms patriotism for progressives. www.vulture.com/article/jame...
James Gunn’s American Project
He is few critics’ idea of a respectable auteur, but his work is more consistently progressive than any other comic-book material today.
