Federal money is being dumped into this stuff...

I was curious about that statement and apparently it's true.

- The Genesis Mission: The Trump administration launched this $5 billion "AI for science" initiative across 15+ federal agencies to direct science funding toward AI-driven research, biomedical innovation, energy grids, and national security.

- Defense & Government Contracts: Federal AI obligations reached $4.1 billion across more than 2,200 contracts from FY2019 through FY2025 (with FY2025 obligations hitting $1.162 billion). The Department of Defense (DoD) dominates this spending, accounting for nearly 99% of potential contract value as of 2026.

- Legislative Funding: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act allocated over $1 billion toward advancing artificial intelligence across federal operations and private-sector innovation support.

So yeah, apparently taxpayers are being turned into unwilling "investors" in AI.

It's for the children.™

Say what?

Those are things the government is buying for its own use.

Did you say taxpayers were being turned into unwilling “investors” in the B1 bomber or whatever?
