You said "Open Source development." Which in the grand scheme of things is pretty small.

I think the possible adverse impacts to society would not be outweighed by something that small.

Ehh, I liked Universe a lot, and I never could get into the main Stargate series.

Once they do that, click activity will increase exponentially and they won't be able to afford to keep it up

No. Everyone won't. It's frankly a ton of work to do the tracking and another ton of work to process it and do anything about it, and there's not a lot of benefit to it to be had without revealing you're doing it - this will backfire. They are trying to normalize not having privacy, because that is kinda Meta's specialty, but I don't think it will catch on, even at Meta, in the long term. They'll lose too many good people and they'll have to take it back.

The CIA can't just make arrests on US soil. They actually do need the FBI to do that. That's another form of oversight.

There was no way to know it was a grift. Unless of course you saw every other obvious grift he had run on his followers for years before.

"Nothing can be fixed while people continue to believe there's a difference between Team Red and Team Blue when the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue"

Yeah, people have been spouting that off for decades. The funny thing is, whenever Team Red or Team Blue is in charge you see a real difference.

I've also never heard the dorm room philosophers who think both parties are the same ever explain exactly why if the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue why the billionaires spend so much time, money, and energy trying to get Team Red into office. Shouldn't they just relax?

"Musk set up OpenAI as an OPEN SOURCE NON PROFIT because he is paranoid about AI."

OpenAI was set up as a nonprofit by numerous people, stop trying to pull a Tesla and turn Musk into the sole founder.

I mean maybe he's right, but I would always take with a grain of salt a software package creator's opinion on how awesome his software package is.

You'd think an experienced speaker would be able to adapt to the crowd.

What's the appeal on losing money to those with inside information?

Huh, haven't seen a change in my Pro subscription. Though I hit the weekly model limit -- if that's not changing then it's not really a big deal.

Makes sense, Gamestop became a weird used goods store a while ago.

There are decades of studies showing therapeutic uses for psychedelics. There is no legitimate excuse for keeping say LSD as a schedule 1 drug.
