My child self was a bumbling idiot who I would dislike or be indifferent to if I met them. Gradually over the course of decades I have become vaguely competent and capable of not making an idiot of myself daily. I’ll probably feel the same about present me later.
“If you burn America to the ground, I will let you rule this ashes.”
I mean, money stolen from the public purse is money stolen from the public. There’s reason to be unhappy about it.
Who decides what is necessary? Ohhh… the beancounter AI full of errors, cool.
Its layered group of subcompanies.
But why male models?
Sure, but why are they pasting it to me?
Why are you interjecting to me?
Ah yes, gotta download “Linux” for myself.
They’re going to be pretty keen to find and make an example out of a person that did something bad to someone of worth. Can’t let that stand unanswered, or Adams will lose donors.
And/or…
This article is written so hastily… it is absolutely riddled with spelling mistakes. At least run it through a spell checker, sheesh.
I feel like sarcasm is pretty timeless.
Sure, he was in the upswing of his career making $20m a year since 2021. Also being investigated for fraud/insider trading for selling $15m of stocks before results of a federal antitrust investigation became public. Sounds swell.
Decisions that led to his company having the worst denial rate nationwide and the decision to wholly adopt an AI system that is known to have a 90% error rate to achieve it. Overflowing profits and bonuses sank right in to his pockets for his business acumen, and the key thing you do to earn that CEO payday is sign off on everything and be culpable when the shit hits the fan.
A shame. Wealth taxes for the ultra rich it is, a la Bernie, innovation in all things. Having benefited from friendly, lucrative taxation over the course of a generation has left beyond the reach of current legislation. Tax legislation specifically and solely aimed at the ultra rich, no one would bat an eye.
In most cases? In most cases billionaires and conglomerates have monopolised entire industries, many across multiple industries that can no longer sustain any meaningful competition and growth. A company like Amazon/Google/Meta just replacing all industry with its own brand, squeezing out, gatekeeping or catch & killing any disruptors or smaller ventures is not a net positive for society. That’s how you get to a handful of medical insurers dictating whether you live or die.
You’re right. Their obscene, disgusting levels of wealth and excess should be taxed the shit out by the societies they inhabit. It’s inefficient to just let them pick and choose their own fancies and unironically call themselves altruists.
They are not monarchs.
The case raises questions about executive security
Thankfully it doesn’t raise any questions about the place of billionaire CEOs of companies making life and death decisions for the general populace for the sake of their overflowing pocket book. Boy would that be awkward.
This always the solution to these big, over promised AI projects… “what if i just pay someone a pittance to do the hard part.”
Good or bad, sane or nuts, at a certain point you just end up being utterly out of touch with daily reality.
