> Often in nonprofits, the person in charge is mostly an exceptional fundraiser and so their contributions are easily visible in that realm. The corollary to that is they are often a bad manager of the org.

Well in this case, going off of their public message, we can safely assume: (1) not a very good fundraiser (2) not a very good organizer

Would you say the captain of the ship brought $500K of value to the team? $25M/yr in revenue is very different when it comes from charity and memberships as opposed to building and selling something.

I think you can also track down a 60 Minutes episode covering this on YouTube.

And I guess he was both CIA and DIA at one point.

The “president and ceo” is bringing in over $500K a year.

Total nonsense.

It’s not this. No matter how much you want it to be this, it’s not.

The house called 9 of your 117 scored numbers: 8%. Blind guessing would average about 13.0 of them (11%). None of the 206 people in a psychology study were more random than you. The house found you extremely hard to read.

Nice!

I couldn’t say whether this was state sponsored espionage or something else. I don’t see any indicators pointing one way or the other.

I see a lot of people mentioning financial motivation, and that decisions made in the room “moves markets”. Ugh, perhaps true…and I have something to tell ya guys - economic espionage is a thing.

It sounds like he didn’t have great placement and access. I mean sort of, but not really. Janitors are much better.

Assuming he was, he could of course gone rogue to impress his handler. If directed by his handler, they aren’t very skilled. Any of that could be true.

I’m reminded of the idiot DIA officer that mishandled his own phone while being questioned and dumped incriminating evidence to them right on camera in the interrogation room. Geniuses.

Yes, this makes sense! Got it.

Europe needs a "national" strategy? Do you mean regional or international strategy?

A/B testing, no? I’ve had this for many months. I burn billions of tokens so I’m sure they use me as a lab rat.
Re:Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @11:17AM (#49979809)
I'm not trying to be rude. Is this new to you? I've had all of this plugged in myself for all of 2026 (at least). The LLMs use of APIs shouldn't be surprising once you see decent ones in action in general. I'm not sure how this would impact my thoughts on whether the pendulum will swing one way or not.

He certainly has many financial reasons to mean what he says. Neither here nor there.
Same. This is cringe.
If you are a US resident and pay taxes you do. Not sure if you fit this criteria, but if so, thank you!
It was obviously our pleasure!
