Wow Trump doesn’t learn does he. AI, mRNA awesome sign us right back up to the same shjt that got us where we are today

I thought Microsoft was funding Stargate. Conveniently leaving Gates’ involvement out of this chaotic plan.

This is absolutely the stupidest waste of money. He wants to cut spending?

[Morenitaintelli-bofu]

who are those people??? trump is sounding monotone. Could possibly be AI trump???

[stanbiryukov]

What the hell is that? It is only second day and you already making this shit.

[CFelipeFranca]

It amazes me to see the journalist man so anxious that he can barely contain himself not to cut the answer with another question. And not a single question about the Stargate program was asked.

Humans have NO clue what the heck they are doing. Imagine riding a bike, seeing a cliff a half mile away and instead of stopping, you peddle harder.

[sammymaxwell]

Just curious why you started your live filming 33 minutes early? Glad I was able to fast forward. But maybe try starting your live feed closer to the actual start time?

[craft-o-matic]

AI Healthcare? That's a hard pass form me!!! Why the heck are you doing this except for money President Trump? I was thrilled to have you back as President, and now this!!! I'm very upset!

Altman will get us to AGI. Gov needs to start having the UBI conversation. In the very near future, human life will look very different. Some people won't take it well, because especially in america theres corp type people where their job is their whole identity, their whole personality. Things will rapidly change.

These data centers will ensure government oversight of everything going on in the United States and the World, think Big Brother. If that is what you want, then rejoice. The thought makes me shudder.

[sirenwerks]

Let the kickbacks begin! There's a great way to piss away taxpayer dollars without accountability. Oh, my computer brain ate your money...

[DarinAlvis]

Thanks MAGA for re-electing Dr. MRNA . I've been saying this would come back with Trump. All of y'all thought he was tricked... I guess now we see it's his supporters who are tricked!!!

[morepowerr]

It is a very interesting Rabbit Hole to go down let's hope we land on our feet

[themuse]

Complete technocratic totalitarianism, anyone? It's been headed straight for us for a while and I'm entertained. Love how all these shadowy billionaires and futurist tech bros are being trotted out... (whom you can certainly google and know what they're about in their own words.) The dog has been wagged.

Dump is a water expert, he knows sprinklers.

[kellianneyates]

I recall Elon having major trust issues/ bad blood/concerns with Sam Altman, am I wrong?

[aproverbshome]

Daddy's Home! Go to time out! lol!!

The 500 B is coming from the investors not the US gov/people. Do your research.
