Too big to fail is an oxymorononic statement. Bailing out bad businesses retains those that poorly managed them. Those organizations should of been sold off to remove the bad actors.

AI is currently a sunk cost to the US stock industry that is repeating the bad actor scenario. Not a single AI company is profitable and none of them produce deterministic nor cost effective solutions

Microsoft's statment of using AI to find the most resource intensive applications being ran highlights this. Task Manager does the same thing and does not need a server farm for training. It also uses MB of RAM vs GB.

If manufacturing had the same error rate in production as AI, those plants would of went out of business.

Both industries heavy use legal bribes, donations. Politicians will gladly bail them out to take ℅ of the cut in bribes.

Too big to fails are false claims to retain the bad actors that fund politicians. Bad actors need to fail so the good ones can properly operate.

Too big to fail is also allowing large corporations to skirt copyright laws. You or I seeding TB of copyright content would be thrown in jail.

Too big to fail is rebranding of legalizing corruption.

Are you saying that it is likely that at some point in the not too distant future, OpenAI and Anthropic will need bailout-size cash infusions from the US Government to continue existence and that the US government will do it and not face severe political consequences?

I just don't think that chain of events is likely. The current administration pays very close attention voter sentiment.
