I appreciate that imagining that some shareholder democracy is going to reach 80% of workers is unrealistic. But the ~50 who save something should not be determined to be excluded. Different in Australia for various reasons.

Are you not curious to know if you could save in a way that pays better? You could book a meeting with an accountant for half an hour and find out.

the genAI bubble relies on you conflating the genuinely tremendous potential of using machine learning for e.g. image recognition in radiotherapy, protein folding, simulations in power systems etc with the child abuse image generators and schizophrenic delusions generators

Just gonna say that the entire US White House press corps could set themselves up for a similar moment of satisfaction if they could be arsed.

Lawyers do not have to argue this stuff if they don't think it will advance their client's case. And even under the cab rank rule can sack the client if they fail to take advice.

Presumably what they spiked for this will leak (in a circle of life way).

I have always admired C4C's willingness to bite bullets, but "we must embrace French style banlieux in order to unlock Japanese style GDP growth" is absolutely next level

xAI is currently in talks to raise $15 billion at a $230 billion valuation.

The flagship product is self-identified "MechaHitler" chatbot with training so warped it describes Elon Musk as more physically fit than LeBron James. It is powered by gas turbines poisoning South Memphis.

Every day he plumbs new depths of Can You Believe This Loser Shit. You think you’ve reached the bottom of the Marianas Trench of Can You Believe This Loser Shit but then there’s a bang and a lurch and your little internet bathyscaphe plunges into a new fissure of Can You Believe This Loser Shit.

It would be crass to include a sponsorship arrangement or paid product endorsement in the eulogy at a State funeral. But in the case of John Laws you can rely on it being there

In this story, how do you account for the amount of energy in those earlier years that would otherwise have been used in construction of other generation?
