Branding nationalizing companies as “citizens control” is quite the spin. Chinese citizens surely own the means of production, right?
Nationalizing a company isn't communism and isn't intended to resemble it.

How is using tax money to prop up uncompetitive companies good for national security? Wouldn't it be better to replace them with competitive companies? It's super hard to be successful when your own government in backing the competition.
You can't build a new Intel. That would take decades. These aren't startups. They are massive fucking machines that can't just be disassembled and put back together by someone else. So the idea is to control them and get them back on track to better serve the collective interest.

I believe OP's point is that the LLM rarely pushes back, whatever you tell it it will go with.
Right, and my point is you have to ask objective pointed questions. For example, even "what do you think is best in this case, a database or keep it all in memory?" Best for whom? To what end? Easiest to maintain? Most resilient? Etc.

> Apple has more money than some nation states.
And Apple needs their chips fabbed, so why not have Apple invest $50B into Intel? Nvidia could afford to chip in too. These companies that face a huge amount of geopolitical risk because they've put all of their eggs in the TSMC basket should have to pay for this not US taxpayers.
I'd rather the citizens control the companies than the other way around.

I’d really rather we didn’t bail out these companies at all. It clearly creates moral hazard and makes it hard for better run companies to enter markets.
Well as much as you don't like it, companies this big failing is terrible for the economy and in this case, national security to a degree. I'm of the thinking that when your company gets to a certain size we'd be well off nationalizing. Apple has more money than some nation states. Something that huge has the potential to affect global politics. There's lots of other reasons too, but this isn't like letting the corner store fail. The repercussions are huge. If we're going to bail out, the people should own some of it.

u: what do you think to this idea?
gpt: yeah you need to do it now
u: actually I think it's a bad idea
gpt: yes, you're right and here's why
u: no, actually it's genius.
gpt: you're absolutely right - it's genius and here's why
Stop asking such open ended questions. What does "what do you think" even mean?
You need to give it some direction. Is this safe, does this follow best practices, is it efficient in terms of memory, etc.
You have to put in a little fucking effort man, it's not magic.

Biggest alarmist is movement against Nestle using water for bottled water in California. They don’t even use as much as an average golf course.
How much water is wasted on golf courses in these arid regions? Or growing water intensive crops like alfalfa that isn’t even directly used to feed people.
The issue with Nestle is that they are paying pennies on the dollar compared to the public because "muh job creation" or something to that effect.

It's insane that they need permits for 8 cars that have humans driving them in 2025, when they're already fully automated in SF.
> We’re a tech-friendly administration
Clearly not.
You sound like a junior admin. "Why do we need to keep testing? It works in the SF office?"
Because they are completely different environments.
I’ve thought about this for years as I tune my work life balance. I’ve never felt like I’m wrongly bringing work home with me that way. It’s always felt like an incredible optimization where my job gives me these puzzles I get to carry with me and work on when I’m bored or my ADHD addled brain screams for stimulation.
