This is so dumb it's hard to grasp. The market is wide open for a consumer first model. Maybe Apple will step into the breach.

Will you trust OpenAI to provide information contradictory to advertisers about drug side effects?

Will you trust OpenAI to explain your rights when dealing with insurance companies?

I could think of more examples, but imagine when Amazon gets a hold of this. Ads are just a terrible bad terrible idea.

That's a shame. I was hoping for an Apple AI independent of advertiser influence.

Oh, well. What could have been great.

Employees accept work-from-home & look for a work-from-home job. New applicants see on-site only and apply elsewhere.

Choices:

1. Hire desperate people who will come in 2. Accept that high-talent staff are unavailable to your company 3. Pay 30% more than the market for on-site staff

Keeping this sort of secret knowledge to yourself is so isolating, but sharing it only makes it worse.

Pretty soon, the only people who find your company enjoyable are malthusians, christian apocalyptics, and emos. I mean the smiths are great, but have you heard....

Banks make money holding onto your funds. They invest those funds overnight for risk-free returns.

Rivian won't enforce this as they want access to Tesla charging stations.

Rivian signed an agreement with Tesla recently to do just that and start next year.

They're called trees.

If global warming were about reducing carbon dioxide, we would be planting them in every available square inch of open ground.

This is prepping the ground for a major bailout of commercial real estate because of its moribund effect on the economy.

Mostly just starting the chant for bailing out the really, really wealthy and those who benefit from CRE. (City governments, insurance companies, mega corps, and commercial banks).

This is not a public outcry, but watch how they do it by creating a story then an echo chamber, making it part of the "recovery", blah, blah. CRE will get a fat earmark in some recession funding, just watch.
