Selling shares could mean the different between control and loss of control of the company. As in, you have loyal people on the board who understand your vision, and suddenly depending on perent ownership you and your friends will be minority stakeholders and you can get kicked out of your own company. Remember, it happened to Steve Jobs famously. But it's actually fairly common the founders get kicked out of their own company when they no longer have controlling amounts of shares. You'd be handing control of the company to people who bought shares solely because they want to make money. Don't care about the vision, don't care about the industry. Which is OK, but also they won't know how to run things. Next thing you know the company gets run into the ground.

Also, what about private companies .. are they going to be tax exempt .. you're going to value them based on how many people want to buy shares? What would those shares be worth when they're stolen from the owners? This is like Zimbabwe seizing white owned farms and handing it to people clueless about farming.

Not at all. You can *still* unplug and leave, you just won't make it to where you want to go without recharging, just as you can leave a petrol station with not enough petrol and will have to get petrol somewhere else.

Luckily, as I said earlier, since you will always ensure you have double the charge needed to get to the nearby hospital, this will never be relevant in the case of a pregnant wife.

For those of you being so damned dismissive of the risk of AI "slop", imagine if we turned off all the e-mail spam filters and pop-up blockers on the planet.

Now imagine how terrifyingly influential the horrific wave of clickbait "slop" would be, shoved in front of a corruptly gullible audience whose FOMO and YOLO click-spending, is factored directly into GDP.

That is where we are today. In Free-AI land. Raw-dogging mind-fucking real. MKUltra jerking-off-furiously real. Pre-VPN. Pre-classified. Pre-payware. Pre-firewalled off from you peasants who don't know how to "use" it quite Greedily enough.

If we can justify spam filters, logic says we need to start thinking about dumbfuck filters feeding AI. Also known as AI feeding AI these days. At least kill that AIdoicracy feedback loop.

Is it the fact that they’re still alive despite every shred of medical evidence, or the fact they might actually do another “farewell” tour after thirty fucking years of farewell tours? Just curious as to where to count my carbon credits, assuming you’re not talking about the magazine who can’t publish a Best Guitarists of All Time list worth a shit.

Your retort would make a lot less sense if you realized children don’t file for patents any more than they do LLCs.

Tell me again how minor that argument really is. Adults have been “stealing” ideas from children since the dawn of time.

And you’ve done nothing to address the false claim of child “labor” being exploited. Again, I didn’t consider myself “at work” when building with Lego. Nor would I have cared at 8 years old if Lego “stole” my creation. The problem assumption today, is that 8-year olds should be recognized as “creators”, because social media. Wrong, and legally ignorant.

Are you saying Michael Jackson tried to save the planet, and it just didn’t really catch on fashionably?

Before the game, sexual predators were kept away from innocent children by locked doors. Deadbolts. Armed fathers. Wisdom.

Dare to describe that risk today, with a “game” enabling predators to stand right outside an open internet window.

Most parents, don’t have a fucking clue. Not one.

This, coming from the voting base who actually put President Dementia and Vice President Word Salad in office.

It won’t be considered “Interesting” when you elect President Kardashian as the “answer” to Trump. It will be telling.

The asset tax is dumb. how is he supposed to pay that tax without diluting his ownership stake? When he announces he's selling shares, the value of OpenAI will drop just by that. So does he pay tax on the new or old valuation? I don't see how anyone would just go along with that. He'll be fucking pissed. I mean, if you had $30 billion and someone pisses you off beyond anything by taking what you put your heart and soul into you'd do every legal means to makes sure whoever done that to you pays. He'll hire a posse of lawyers to ensure he gets back at them.

It's almost certainly an attempt by the administration to coerce AI companies, in particular Anthropic. Control freaks like to have control.

2.7 more years.

You can't be on a narrow line and fuck it up for three generations. Either you're not fucking it up solidly or the line isn't so narrow.

If you're concerned about that, why are you OK with setting the precedent that the government gets to decide what is in, and not in, the models?

Yes, at any moment when charging you can just disconnect and drive. I don't know where you are being fed information from but huge amounts of it are wrong. This is something I have literally done with a charging car. Press the release button, take out the cable and drive.

Those guys can't even vet their own social media posts, and those are ~100 characters of ASCII text. The chances of them being able to meaningfully review a multi-gigabyte binary file are exactly zero.

When the Democrats come in, they'll vet the AI models properly.
