The latest "How Money Works" video on this put it great:

The same companies warning that a Chinese AI takeover is a generational emergency are also the ones lobbying to sell their best chips into China, the ones telling regulators their products are too harmless to need a liability framework, and the ones actively fighting any regulation that would limit how fast they can scale.

So, these tools exist in some kind of techbro superposition of simultaneously being the most existential threat to American dominance since the cold war while also being too harmless to require any regulation within America itself.

He should have pointed the "evil detector" back at himself.

Having to negotiate with every land owner along the route and every local community that the train will pass through/near is a major part of these cost overruns. If they just eminent domained the whole damn route from the start it would have been far faster and probably cheaper.

Those absolutely sound like the story of a person who was "in the trenches" that gets put in control. Contrast that with some of these CEO's who seem to make "being a CEO' their professional job.

If the AI clone is good enough to be in meetings, why not just replace the Zuck completely? Sell the savings in stock payouts and other compensation to the shareholders and watch them kick him out.

And an "old" article at that. This was news 5 months ago.

Why did they make him the CEO, "Again". FIFY

Exactly!

My company rolled out JIRA time tracking and said it was purely to do metrics on time spent on tasks. The employees unionized and the company was trying to get us to accept that they'll use those time tracking charts as a basis for disciplinary action.

If they say "The tool won't be used for evaluation purposes", then you can bet it absolutely will be.

OpenAI, from a non-profit pushing the tech forward, to a for-profit that tried to hold its position, to trying to become a public traded so their now trimming stuff to be more "investor friendly".

Ah, it's like the cycle of "enshitification" in rapid fire.

For the giant multinational companies they have a LONG history of cheating the system then paying some substantially lower "settlement" with no further penalty. If heads of units/sections actually start getting held criminally liable that MAY actually change some things.

So, that means we can get rid of all the petroleum subsidies now huh?

Private companies contributed less than 0.1% to the initial construction and launch funding. It was mostly covered by public tax money. Ongoing annual costs are only covered 8-12% by private funding. Since the collective public of all of the ISS countries foot 88% of all ongoing funding and all of the initial construction, why are we tying the life of the station to private uses? If private money wants to get on the train, they should build their own rail line.

Sure, that's great if you can afford it. Seems like it's just more of a separation between haves and have-nots.

Well, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine being shot down by the Russians who thought it was a military target wasn't that long ago. And given in this case that what they thought was a drone ended up being a balloon, I'd say that concern is well placed.

Moon base, sure that's easier to pull off than a Mars one. Still doesn't provide the "Why" go to the high expense and danger of doing this to a satisfying degree. Pretty much every answer I've heard to that question so far could be done more safely and cheaper with robotics.
