I remember reading about how the US was funding a ton of solar panel manufacturing, then when China made them cheaper than the US could, dragged the world back to oil. I wonder if the US will try the same trick here.

You mean drag back translators, artists, writers... from unemployment, to give them the work that was stolen by "AI"?

Sounds like a win to me 👍
