OFC, YC is in the business of making money and simply doesn’t care or consider ethics whatsoever. They just don’t care. But this is pretty standard for this class of people. To get super rich you have to fuck people…
Isn’t that exactly the problem pointed out on the article? In an attempt to make driving more affordable, the state causes the victims of drivers to pay for their own victimization. Par the course for a CA law but…
I disagree, it’s about computers. The risk is that we lose control. This has been a staple of SciFi since forever. This guy has apparently seen enough that he thinks that’s a viable threat
Rich people have more capacity to do harm. For example that dude Luigi killed was a mass murderer, he killed 1000s, maybe 10,000s of people. So it’s hard for a poor criminal to compete
Why don’t your customers find you? Assuming you have what they want. I suppose depends how broadly “ad” is taken to be. Is a webpage an ad? Presumably no if it’s your landing page. OP is presumably talking about…
> Risking burning your bridges with YC Why would violating TOS for a single company matter to YC? That kind if initiative is highly valued at YC. The more rules you break the better!
Piketty's proposal is a wealth tax. That's the subject of my previous post. I agree income taxes are progressive. Tt's just that very wealthy people don't pay them by virtue of not having any taxable income (they of…
Regulatory capture is always an option, true. Certainly seems to be the favored direction of the current administration.
And who is lobbying the government to keep it that way? Probably Amazon let's be real here
We let the university model degrade, and now this author is pontificating about how the university model isn't working. Yes. Because we let it degrade.
Does collusion require privacy? You can collude in public if you want.
Bro is delusional. The only reason there aren't 45 LLM competitors is compute costs. Once costs fall the tech will commoditize. It is interesting that a role like "Head of Strategic Futures" both exists and attracts…
Or rather, unsurprising response. Obviously everyone is going to cheer when what's his face gets killed. I mean how many 100,000s of people can your company murder before you get off'd by one of the survivors.
> In most rich countries, the % of income people pay already goes up with income. Right. But rich people don't have income, so they don't pay any taxes. Our tax code is not progressive at the top. It is progressive for…
Piketty's tax goes into effect only for wealth greater than a certain amount. The goal is to target people who are paying insufficient income tax, because they are so wealthy they can avoid having taxable income. So…
I mean that's the entire point of structuring your taxes so they are unavoidable. Piketty's proposal of a 2% wealth tax floor on wealth over $100M is a great way to solve that problem. I'm not sure why thousands of…
Nobody knows what the Laffer curve is. Maybe we should be raising taxes. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make
Regulatory capture by business interests seems like something you'd solve via government, ironically.
Nobody is suggesting that raising the effective tax rate for the richest people will magically fix all our problems. However, we are saying that making the tax code progressive is better than what we're doing now. I…
Just look at growth rates before Reagan/Thatcher in the US/UK and after. If you take the 30 years before and the 30 years after, you'll see growth actually decreased. Obviously this is correlation, but it's somewhat…
Well if we did that we'd only save 40,000 lives and ~$1T in transit costs a year. Such savings and improvements in quality of life are unthinkable in the US! \s
Are you including corporate spending and government spending, or just private spending? Because private spending for the 1% is largely irrelevant in this context.
It seems unlikely there will be a billion Americans. Population growth is 0.3% and will likely decline further as native FTR declines.
Who cares? Distillation is in the same class of theft as Anthropic stealing their data in the first place. By all means, Anthropic can try to prevent distillation. It'll be like holding back a storm surge with a single…
Negligence is criminally prosecutable.
