> Modeled on Chrysler, perhaps?

The government intervened to prevent massive job losses, protect the domestic auto industry, and, in the 1979 case, preserve critical national security manufacturing, as Chrysler produced the M-1 Abrams tank.

Now, I suppose it is possible to imagine that the US government might bail out either or both of OpenAI or Anthropic (whether or not there's an ROI like there was with the Bank Bailout of the 2008 crisis) if the govt. deemed the technology critical to keep a fast pace on (I think we can say without doubt that requirement is satisfied) but, crucially, the government's calculus is that it is better to have these companies compete rather than bring the knowhow in-house.

Is that what you're thinking?
