What happened

You think the negative perception of AI is bad now? OpenAI and Anthropic are minting millionaires and billionaires, yet the average American can't participate in the greatest value creation in human history. Only top tier VCs and wealthy/connected individuals are going to benefit from AI company growth. Once these companies go public, most of the value will have already been captured. We should allow and encourage all Americans to invest in lower-risk private companies. The rules need to change. Mark my words, this will come back to bite us.
