The entire pretext is ridiculous; a CEO doesn't need an act of congress to set policy in their own company.


It’s a tacit admission that while a CEO may not want AI to destroy humanity, if someone else might do it, they want to get there first.

I will not promote hands off as policy on AI development and use as I would not promote hands off of making nuclear devices in the name of pure capitalism.


It’s also bonker nobody has yet to pointed to the peak irony of Zuckerberg being front and center of this industry self regulation given the stellar marks Facebook always receives for its positive contributions to society.

I don’t understand your comment. These people DID NOT live in a near subsistence economy before the US blockade.


Median Income: Around ?120,000,000 per month ($176 USD), meaning half of all workers earn less than this amount.

How would you describe living on $5/day.

Maybe, maybe not. The son of Sam law probably wouldn’t let her keep the money, so there may not be any interest to pursue damages.
It was a pretty good family flick. My son started crying as we left the theater, which subsequently brought a tear to my eye.
It’s pretty entertaining hearing the CEOs discuss their commitment to safety and rogue agents breaking out…while pretending their data scientists aren’t actively training models to do exactly what’s happening. I’d bet there’s several saying hold my beer as I type.
It’s pretty wild that people are going to pay to rebuild his business. At least Mike Andersen maintains top notch fire insurance for his mishaps.

When Scott Jennings stopped blindly repeating talkings points last week it was clear he wasn’t selected. It’s actually kind of funny watching politicians about face whenever they don’t get a job they want.

Vintage Joe was telling the CEO of Porsche how dumb it was that he went to a dealer and took a test drive but was told there were no cars he could purchase.

Santelli went on a tangent during covid and I was pretty confident his next stop was HR for offboarding.

There was also one time Sorkin overslept, and they just mocked him for the remainder of the show when he finally arrived.

They sent another reporter to ask about his slums and he asked “where’s the pretty little blond girl”.

Don’t lawyers work on a contingency in these types of cases with no money down?


Yup. That loomis guy is probably Downsy.
That’s a relief. I was worried it was Mohammed el Muhammad bro Mohammad.

So in other words, the monthly wage is $2 a day. This means a yogurt and a soda costs an entire day's pay. Imagine what that would cost in the US, if you took 8 hours of your paycheck to purchase a yogurt and a soda.


Conversely, look at how that affects every pause in sanctions. It only takes a few tankers to meet payroll for the year.

IRGC foot soldiers are paid about $600 USD per month. Every tanker that slips through pays 100k IRGC for the quarter. That same tanker would pay 3,000 US sailors for the month.

This is the perfect example how overstated the ability to overturn the regime through a financial blockade.

These people already practically live in a subsistence economy. Unless you’re willing to truly blockade the country from food imports, they’ll just proceed to live I little bit shittier life than they’re used to.
quote:

Yeah there’s a growing disconnect between S&P earnings and the “economy”.


The disconnect is the age old belief that the health of the economy is gauged by a cumulative representation of the average American’s finances.

The current economy is more than happy to chug along and focus on the top quartile. The average American is increasingly viewed as an anchor to progress.
There were pictures of him on CNN tied up. Looked like the passengers beat his arse senseless too.
