Fair enough, you didn’t say you condone it. But your comment does read with much more support than I would offer. And asking me which charities I’d donate to… ha! I don’t see why that’s relevant. Maybe I would do the same, but I don’t already have an $800,000/yr base salary.

More relevant: this windfall would be 250yrs income for me. And on that income I already do donate to charity (albeit probably about 2% of my earnings). If this chump followed my percentage they would be donating 6 whole years worth of my salary on this windfall (plus 1/3 of my salary per year).

The point is “treating yoself” to $12mil after tax is absolutely obscene whatever way you look at it. Not to mention still sitting on 3x more than that.

Awarded themselves shitloads of stock, then sold a quarter of their shares each as soon as humanly possible. That money is not being invested in the company, it’s going straight in these individual’s pockets.

Share prices don’t only fall if the company liquidated stock. They will also fall from something like a mass sell-off because lower and lower prices will be commanded to sell large volumes of stock.

You know, like the one in the article that talks about the 25% drop in share value.

Won’t somebody think of the poor shareholders.

When I treat myself, it’s to a takeaway meal that’s like $20. Reddit has “never made a profit”™. Siphoning $16mil out of it on day one is obscene.

Interesting take. In all of the defences of LLMs using copyrighted material it’s very often highlighted that “fair use” allows exactly such summaries of larger texts.

In reality, “fair use” is ruled on a case by case basis, so it’s impossible to judge whether something is or not without it going to court.

Is this bot a closed system which is being used for profit? No, you know exactly what its source is (the single article it is condensing) and even has a handy link about how it is open source at the end of every single post.

I don’t think anyone’s going to pay for your version of ChatGPT

If it’s at the point you need a tab manager, surely you could just use bookmarks.

Just imagine how much Bill Gates knows about him. He’s got more microchips in him than a supercomputer!

If he gets $223M a year for being a detriment to society, I should be getting at least $446M for being relatively neutral.

Making money by destroying/burying digital media. What a backwards world we live in…

This practice feels like something that should be illegal. Effectively it is destroying art that hundreds or thousands of people worked hard to make, for the sake of fiddling the books of the owning company that commissioned it.

If you “write it off” to be worth zero, it should either become freely available abandonware, or can be claimed as the intellectual property of those that worked on it. Otherwise it is evident that there is some value to be had and therefore tax fraud to claim it has none.

Idk, he is still managing to sell way overpriced versions of existing tech to people. Albeit much less polished. His main mistake is exposing himself as an idiot at every opportunity, rather than keeping the mystique to make it seem cool.

I guess if you were going for that post-apocalyptic mad max vibe the cybertruck offers then this is the perfect accessory!

Really looks like someone made a makeshift shelter out of trash bags over the shell of a wrecked old shitty truck.

I think the worst part is they gave streamers and influencers the actual promised canvas bag. That shows someone made this shitty decision and knew it was shitty.

Gasp, gaming and talking to friends online? They should be real world socialising like talking to friends on the landline

Shotguns work in combat, why not take the shotgun approach to research?
