Would you please identify those you're thinking of?

You may be assuming the author of the comment you’re replying to believes that what is in the best interest of the US is also in the best interest of Europe and the world.

You’re saying it’s not regulatory capture because it’s not enforced globally?

Have you ever taught?

But who will protect the interests of capital??

Altman is an idealist?

I read this as: I know ads are likely if not inevitable but I can’t say that while I’m trying to gain users and inspire trust but I’ll start to float even in this non-denial the justification for the thing I’m ultimately going to do.

That may be the point. Simple inflation adjustment gives us x but the real price is more or less than x. Why is that?

You’d have to go company-wide to sync schedules and norms. Not just opt in. Many would not like a 20% pay cut. The best talent would disproportionately leave.

Also, theoretically Meta is getting rid of their worst performers, so their cuts and declines in productivity would not be proportional, especially as the cuts inspire fear to motivate productivity from the remaining employees.

Isn’t it both - ROI must exceed whatever cost benchmark?

Not if the actual vs stated reasons for the layoffs have nothing to do with AI.

As you note, most people aren’t power users. That core functionality is enough for 80%+ of users.

Even I, a definite though intermittent power user, am fine with the Google versions most of the time.

Collaboration also just feels faster in Google.

They let others run that costly costly costly race. It's not where Apple is most competitive.

We in the US can't hide forever.

I read this as: how you can motivate yourself to do something you're currently not motivated to do but "ultimately" believe is worth doing.
