I'd kill my political career for the private sector rewards sure to follow.

Those companies are already roundly hated by the general voting public, so I agree.

There's one problem with the idea of a bailout. What comes after?

Say, for the sake of argument, that the US government bails out OpenAI. Are they now suddenly not a money-burning operation anymore that will need another bail out in a period better measured in weeks?

The thing is just very unsustainable.
