The US government is actively funding this with your taxes FYI This March OpenAI has gotten another 122 Billion USD in funding and had received over 40 billion the other year, while reporting a net income of -9 billion dollars. The end goal is not a product/service that will better the lives of consumers, this government is vehemently anti consumer, they want to price you out of being able to OWN any compute power while being forced to rent it from the tech oligarchs, who will have a monopoly on compute power.
This is techno feudalism and they are making you pay for it.
