Let them eat cake... but remember, the cake is a lie.

Ideally if you fired striking workers the NLRB would get involved. Not so sure anymore.

This seems like... a bad idea? If I understand you correctly, each region maintains disaster relief infrastructure & staff with help from the central/national government? If so, does that translate to richer regions being less affected by calamities (since they can pour more money into said infrastructure than the bare minimum)?

In most countries (with such plans in place) the national government maintains all disaster relief management to assist local governments, right?

Sorry I've asked a lot of questions, but I'm genuinely interested to know!

Devils advocate: retiring an old service dog means you'd need to invest in training another pup which is way more expensive than titanium teeth and dealing even with animal cruelty complaints and/or lawsuits. Also "bleed blue" fanboys will see this as badass, so its free PR.

As a mortal/moral person advocate: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

Spot on! I hoped this comment would be higher! The main problem isn't corps not making money, but grid stability due to unreliability of renewables.

To be fair, the original tweet is kinda shit to begin with. They've unnecessarily assigned monetary value to a purely engineering (physics?) problem.

Putting my tin foil hat on... Sam Altman knows the AI train might be slowing down soon.

The OpenAI brand is the most valuable part of the company right now, since the models from Google, Anthropic, etc. can beat or match what ChatGPT is, but they aren't taking off coz they aren't as cool as OpenAI.

The business models to train & run models is not sustainable. If there is any money to be made it is NOW, while the speculation is highest. The nonprofit is just getting in the way.

This could be wishful thinking coz fuck corporate AI, but no one can deny AI is in a speculative bubble.

They greedy af. They've lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it'd be a helluva lot more than 13b imo

I think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the ~~guy~~ Messiah who found/reported it. FOSS software's strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!
