do you think we see a large nationalized US government agi project in the next five years? or a chinese version, which probably forces our consolidation as well? why/why not?

@willdepue no and no.

building an AI startup is incredibly hard, and I don't think the US government is positioned to succeed. are they hiring or contracting? who's writing the SOWs? who's evaluating progress?

the USG doesn't even build its own uranium enrichment equipment, let alone AGI.
