And I did it from thousands of people coming together, all individuals.
I'm not taking any PAC money other than labor unions if they want to get involved.
But all of that money was raised from individuals who just want a say in how AI develops.
no sec and also these some of these companies can just stay private for so long now that they don't have to do a lot of the public reporting i mean open ai and anthropic and some of the big ones are private and so some are behaving responsibly but i'm sure some are not and the public doesn't really have a way to see their underlying finances yeah i want to be clear that i'm not in the camp that you know ai is all fake i'm actually quite
in the opposite camp, I think it is very capable and going to do a lot of things.
And that's why government needs to be involved.
But even with that said, you're seeing weird financing vehicles that are happening where instead of directly investing in a data center, which would, as you said, show up as debt, they'll have these special purpose vehicles that are somewhat off the balance sheet.
And so it doesn't really show on theirs.
And it's things that are reminiscent of what we saw with
the housing crisis with 2008 and what happened with the subprime mortgages.
So this is one of the things where the people in the AI industry are really terrified of any bump in the road.
And so if it feels like sometimes you want to have a rational conversation about, hey, here are some benefits of AI, here are some risks, how can we regulate?
And you see that especially some of the executives kind of violently react to that even suggestion,
Maybe that's because if they have any bump in the road in their growth, they're so leveraged that there's a real challenge of it falling down.
And so what you're seeing is behavior where they try to stop the states from taking any action because they're losing at the state level.
They go and they try to buy the White House.
They literally are paying to have the White House demolished and the East Wing ballroom built.
They're putting millions of dollars into Donald Trump's super PAC.
In fact, Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, in the second half of 2025 was Donald Trump's single largest mega donor.
They are spending a lot right now to try to ensure that no one in America gets to have a say in how AI develops except the oligarchs.
