When you put it that way it seems pretty cheap.

When you put it that way, sounds like they should be able to take care of themselves and not need the US to help fight their battles for them.

> pretty cheap

What exactly are you buying with that money, to know it's cheap?

Well, that money is buying weaponry created by US companies for the most part. My point is the federal government budget over that same time period is in the many trillions, and $300B is just a fraction of a percent of that.

in the past few years, OpenAI and other companies like it have received relatively the same amount of money the USA has spent on weapons for the past 70 years it seems. so relative to that, yes, it is cheap...

The difference is that OpenAI is addicting (mostly) consenting adults, not genociding civilians.
