What could possibly ground your faith in the Israeli government, given the intelligence failure of massive proportions we all witnessed on 10/7? How can you believe that the same government which failed to foresee a massive Hamas offensive on its own border just weeks ago, is now suddenly aware of the exact positions of underground Hamas bases deep within the Gaza strip, and is even privy to phone calls between Hamas operatives?

That's also not to mention the many times Israel has been caught lying to cover its own military actions. You only have to look as far back as the targeted killing of Shireen Abu Akleh

It's now being confirmed by US official and reported in BBC

Unless you fall into protected categories such as "business owner" or "bank"

It's also precisely the kind of thing that no one needs to be in an office to do

If they're both the most talented and also don't want to work for you, what makes you think they'd stay?

how did your friend feel it when they had a good quarter?

As we know everything congress does is good and in accordance with the will of the voters

I wonder if you'd apply this same standard to those who criticize politicians.

If you're upset that you spend your days fighting rats and not making insane money, I think you should target your anger at your boss who keeps you in that situation, rather than at other workers who have it better than you.

> it seems insensitive to tell 100k+ ppl Google or Amazon fired them because "well everyone is doing it!"

Is that any more insensitive than CEOs and C-suites telling laid off workers they "take full responsibility" and "had to make a difficult decision" while facing no consequences themselves?

Do you think then, that they deserve to be mentally scarred without any support and paid less than the minimum wage for a receptionist, on the basis that they are not "equal" to us?

This is just false, if you read the article Sama also collected explicit, illegal images on behalf of OpenAI -- this was the reason the contract was cancelled.

If a company acts unethically that is bad, even if it's in the company's rational self-interest. It rings especially hollow when the company's supposed mission is to "ensure AI benefits all of humanity"

The maintenance funding being gutted by 40% seems like the bigger contributing factor here

Yes, this was exactly what I meant. Poorly worded the question haha

Which is exactly the position that Musk is supposedly fighting against -- it's almost like he has no actual principles and is at best no different than the people he's replacing

> rather than on the overall system that makes this kind of censorship possible

What do you think this system is?

Listen to yourself... the guy literally risked his life saving children who were trapped in a cave, and you think the mere fact that he criticized Musk means that he deserved to be slandered as a pedophile

the reports are up > 20x from baseline, twitter traffic is nowhere close to that multiple

"burning cash" in this context doesn't refer to the literal burn rate, it's more that he's spending a great deal of money without presenting any clear vision or direction for the company

I think he's actually said both of these things.

> No one would dare complain

It hasn't even happened and you're complaining about it!

Ostensibly true but in reality if the business were going to pay their employees anyway, they really could do whatever they want with it. It's free $$$ in the same sense as the student loan forgiveness, yet curiously there is much more criticism on here directed towards the latter.

It's a responsibility that no one wants
