P397
When the AI bubble collapses, the US government will formally nationalize AI data centers under eminent domain and reclassify them as protected military installations, exempt from local objections over water and electricity use.

What Jiang said

“AI data data centers will be nationalized and be be protected by the military. So if you don't like AI centers, too bad. Okay, it's eminent domain now.”

Analysis

Jiang compares this to the 2008 bank bailouts, arguing the government will absorb AI companies' losses rather than let them fail, expanding the AI surveillance state regardless of the bubble bursting.
