Trump’s government siding with OpenAI is peak MAGA economics: copyright is sacred until Silicon Valley needs millions of other people’s books, articles and art for free. Then suddenly property rights become an annoying obstacle to »winning the AI race.« Apparently America First now means AI companies first, creators somewhere near last.

Property rights are sacred until they need land to build a data center, then is eminent domain on the name of "public good"

No. That behavior is distinctively Capitalist. Sacred ruled always bent to convenience.

Absolutely. Unlike these ignorant people, I know what communism is.
