What do you want him to say?

1. De-dollarization is all Trump’s fault

Or

2. The world is reacting to Trump putting America first

No.

But for mega-tech CEO salary, I’d probably do exactly the same.

lights cigarette Not mine, directly, but I'm sure I'll be part of the next 150-million-strong data breach because some suit shouted, red-faced, "WE NEED AI" into a Teams meeting, and several people with mortgages and children made it happen.

Solution seems to be don’t have kids.

Then the employees are less scared of losing their jobs and can push back against management’s idiotic AI requests.

Oh thank goodness.

This whole product idea is further trying to gatekeep computing hardware. You will pay a cloud subscription to perform anything remotely computationally taxing.

What’s wrong with that?

Agreed. Even xAI's (Grok's) access to live data on x.com and millions of live video inputs from Tesla is a moat not enjoyed by OpenAI.

Tesla does not have live video feed from (every) Tesla car.

The solution is surprisingly simple. You just need moderate enforcement of fines that are scaled to the offenders income and that escalate exponentially with reoffense in a reasonable time period.

Fines should be designed to make it uneconomical to continue to reoffend.

Great. Fine me $1 million, and I will fight the case with lawyers, thus slowing down the public legal system for thousands of other legal cases, whether traffic related or otherwise.

No different than Elon Musk claiming self-driving will be deployed to all Teslas in 2017; 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.

I so much hate it that we have built an economy where companies believe the best way forward is to cram ads into everything instead of building better products.

Blame the consumers.

They don’t want to pay for monthly subscriptions because “economy is tough”
