I'd suggest you file a claim in small business court. It will get resolved very quickly.

Can you define happiness in this context?
I'm more of the mind that happiness is better as a side effect of a good life than the sole pursuit of your life. People who chase happiness as their primary meaning to exist usually are not very interesting and highly materialistic.
I think that’s a great point, and I don’t disagree with it. (Although I don’t particularly care about being “interesting” as a value). My point was more that as a parent I want to be responsive to my children instead of deterministic. I want them to find their path, not me to find it for them by declaring that they will be exceptional. My love is not conditional on their outcome of becoming exceptional, and further, an ultimately fulfilling life doesn’t require that either, nor should we teach that it does.

We often worry about how to make our children exceptional, but I wonder of the people studied here, how many were genuinely happy? Shouldn’t we want our children to be happy more than we want them to be exceptional? The two aren’t mutually exclusive of course, but the pursuit of exceptionalism might lead to a less happy life, especially if that exceptionalism doesn’t materialize. I know far too many people pushed incredibly hard by their family/circumstances and burned out fast.

Imagine you are an artist and you have developed your unique style.
Would you mind if AI starts creating art like yours?
What if your clients tell you they bought the AI generated art instead of yours?
Imagine you are a startup business owner and you have developed a unique product or service.
And then someone comes along and competes with you?

No one is bothered by competition in markets.
Why do we have more or less empathy of this type for some professions?

Lol, this whole discussion is like a bunch of architects talking about how folks shouldn't do DIY projects on their own, and yet... DIY is a huge thing because most people are actually reasonably intelligent and capable of doing things on their own.

> That’s when SBF told Sequoia about the so-called super-app: “I want FTX to be a place where you can do anything you want with your next dollar. You can buy bitcoin. You can send money in whatever currency to any friend anywhere in the world. You can buy a banana. You can do anything you want with your money from inside FTX.”
> Suddenly, the chat window on Sequoia’s side of the Zoom lights up with partners freaking out.
> “I LOVE THIS FOUNDER,” typed one partner.

> “YES!!!” exclaimed a third
Like, he’s rambling about how you should buy bananas with Bitcoin. How was this compelling to people who control serious money?
It always struck me as the opposite. If someone running a crypto futures exchange said they wanted people to buy bananas and groceries on their platform that’s be a signal to pass, right?
the line between "crazy, brilliant founders who will build world changing companies" and "crazy, lunatic founders who will lie and cheat and be awful" is very hard to distinguish, especially at the series seed/series A level.
It can lead to false positives and false negatives all the time.
