If all the money that is currently being wasted on "AI" were redirected to public works in the US alone -- a total of $100,000,000,000 in 2024 alone -- we could have:

- Medicare for All, ensuring every US citizen with federally-subsidized healthcare;
- Significant improvements to public transit in urban areas;
- Major investments into renewable energy (solar, wind, etc) while decommissioning petrol and coal plants and drastically reducing commercial power consumption;
- Sweeping reform for environmental protections and fewer datacenters competing for land (which invariably drive up the cost of housing in low-income areas);
- Innovations focused on actually benefiting people, rather than an exploitation of the arts

... and still have money left over.
