To clarify, everyone will see this as self-serving? But I don't think most people will do anything concrete about it. At most -- even the hardcore haters will just complain loudly on Twitter. How many people would purposely choose to not use an OpenAI product? Very few IMO.

Is there any downside whatsoever for OpenAI/Sam to be the one proposing/leading the calls for regulation? Cynics will say they are trying to pull the ladder up from underneath them, so this is massively beneficial for them. What's the downside (if any)? Getting a small subset of the community mad doesn't seem like a lot of downside.

Is there a study showing how much business they lost from the backlash when they didn't let people use the bathroom? This may be the better business decision.

Apple needs new sources of revenue. Anything marginal like cheaper iphone models won't cut it.

I like the recent wave of acquisitions. Smart cars? Smart homes? Iterations of Apple Watch - deeper connection to the body itself?

What's next for them?

China does not value the status/wellbeing of their millionaires/billionaires over the control of the CCP in people's minds, which is always the top priority.

Body weight (lb) divide by 2 seems to be the consensus general number of ounces I've seen from people like Dr Rhonda Patrick. And the more physically active you are, the more you should drink.

Eg: A 200lb person should drink 100oz+ of water a day.

Thinking of this in a proportional sense is the wrong comparison. It's a settlement - therefore it needs to be compared to how much damage a non-settlement was going to cause FB.

Anyone know what the tech scene there is like?
