AI Companies Want Government to Save Their Business Model—Not Humanity

AI giants warn government that advanced models threaten humanity. But soaring costs, cyber failures, competition and weak profits raise another question: who really needs saving?

Finally, I learned that NZ Defence forces routinely buy missiles that might expire before they can be used;

"... purchasing those more precise ammunition systems is
quite tricky ... they have a shelf life."

The cost of each missile can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the "low millions" (Weston's estimate for a complete Javelin missile kit).

The GETS website is here;

Maybe a useful place to look for evidence of corporate welfare?

For example, public agencies giving money to corporations owned by technofascists. Instead of having their own teams running their own servers, using Free Code software. Hiring outside contractors or consultants for specialist work, only when they don't need it often enough to justify hiring someone in-house.

Private health insurance has become one of Australia's biggest corporate welfare schemes.

The last federal budget handed the industry $8 billion in taxpayer subsidies. Meanwhile, Bupa paid $536 million to its UK parent company, and NIB spent $214 million on marketing and commissions alone.

Just five insurers control 82% of the market. They lobby for more public money, deliver returns that rival or exceed the big banks, and pour millions into advertising that helps convince Australians they can't afford to be without private cover.
After paying around $70,000 in premiums, Michael West received less than a month's worth back when he lost hearing in one ear. Medicare covered most of the operation.
Watch Michael West unpack where your premium dollars — and your tax dollars — are really going.

Don't you loony lefties understand, governments can't supply essential goods and services efficiently, you have to leave it to The Market (™️). *Except* when the market utterly fails, then governments have to give free public money to corporations to fix it. Clear as mud? : P

The US Govt. has now paid back $81bn of (now) illegal tariffs in what may be the biggest single corporate welfare payment ever;

by which I mean, for the most part sellers in the US raised prices to account for tariffs (some firms *did* absorb the tariff charges but not many) but will likely be making little effort to refund the money to consumers (in fairness its likely pretty impractical).

So that's $bns into the coffers of the corporates from the Tangerine Tyrant, then!

#CorporateWelfare to destroy #ecosystems is pure madness.

I'm going to try to clarify this article:

1) There's a key difference between 'vacant' and 'unsold' units. Vacant units can remain vacant, but this policy is about unsold inventory. Watch how media channels spin this as "vacant homes."

2) The article announces $3.2B for DCC (Development Cost Charges) subsidies and $2.5B for transit alongside buying 2,200 condos, but gives NO price for the condo purchases. The article only notes that units where the announcement was made sell for $1.1M which tracks with concerns that government may be paying full market price for unsold inventory.

3) If developers have 2,200 unsold units, why isn't the market clearing? Prices could drop 5-10% and units would sell. There's still demand, but if developers aren't budging on price, the government likely isn't getting a bulk discount either.

4) Why would government pay near-market rates (~$1M/unit?) instead of negotiating bulk discounts on distressed inventory? This smells like another 'too big to fail' broken business model.

I try to be impartial, but this smells like a giant handout to private developers spun as a housing affordability measure. No mention of who might benefit beyond the developers.
