That sounds like a great microcontroller/decibel meter project, something that could run 24 hours a day unattended.

The headline is missing an important “looks to”. Politicians and public opinion seem to be in favour.

> Finland looks to end "uncontrolled human experiment" with Australia-style ban on social media

Well, I don't know anything about marketing and you might have a point, but the severity of impact of these two words is clearly very different, so it doesn't look like a good comparison to me. It would raise quite a few eyebrows and more if, for example, someone released a Linux distro named "Auschwitz OS", meanwhile, even in the software world, there are multiple products that incorporate the word prism in various ways[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. I don't believe that an average user encountering the word "prism" immediately starts thinking about NSA surveillance program.

And of course The prism

I remember the NSA Prism program, but hearing prism today I would think first of Newton, optics, and rainbows.

As a retail investor mostly invested into broad ETFs (All World), is there any way I can get short exposure to OpenAI? Being short Oracle/Nvidia/Microsoft?
helsinkiandrew · 14 days ago
Not really that gives you much exposure:

If OpenAI is worth $5B, 4% of MSFT market Cap is Open AI.

ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) holding is 7.2% of its total but also has xAI, Anthropic and lots of other AI

OpenAI going bust might be a shock to shareprices of publicly traded companies like Oracle, CoreWeave, Softbank and the like

EDIT: obviously if OpenAI is worth $500B, not 5
