If you want easy access to wild pigs just move to Texas lol, they have a real problem with them


Are there special circumstances with the openAI board? For a normal company the board is supposed to represent the interests of investors. If investors ask for him back the board should comply. Who's interests are the OpenAI board representing?


> Are there special circumstances with the openAI board?

Yes, see below.

> Whose interests are the OpenAI board representing?

OpenAI has a weird charter which mandates the board to uphold a fiduciary duty not to the shareholders but rather to being "broadly beneficial". This is very uncommon. It means that the board is fiscally required to uphold safety above all else; if they don't, the board members could get sued. The most likely person to fund such a lawsuit would be Elon, who donated a lot of money to the non-profit side of OpenAI.

Here's the OpenAI page which explains this unique charter: https://openai.com/our-structure Excerpt: “each director must perform their fiduciary duties in furtherance of its mission—safe AGI that is broadly beneficial”


sell the same plot of forest to n number of people. Send everyone the same pic of the forest they "saved"


Yes, exactly. In practice, there is no limit to how many times you can vow to not cut down a tree.


Do you think a stargate is easier to figure out than redirecting an asteroid?


They obviously didn’t do the latter, so it must have been the former. ;)


Yes. One shot vs n.

Besides, Earth isn’t the only planet suitable for us :)


CEOs at his level dont just leave on a whim. They have multi year transition plans.


Do you personally know how much your employer pays in tax to employ you? I bet most people dont have any idea. I just had to look it up myself. I would never know if the rate changed provided I didnt read about it in the paper.


I can see it on my paystub, it has a nice breakdown of where everything goes.

I’d argue you could do the same with anything, in the case of restaurants just show the actual total on the menu and include a breakdown on the receipt so people who care can see how much is going to taxes and such.


Your paystub or W-2 show how much tax YOU are paying. Social security is two-sided, you pay half and the employer pays half, unless you know that already, the paycheck itself doesn't say so. There are also additional types of taxes, such as unemployment, the employer pays that aren't shown on your pay stub.


I doubt they would... Its not going to make someone more likely to buy their product just because they know how much is going to tax.


Musk is defaulting, student loan forgiveness is the taxpayer picking up the tab. A better question would be if those people think students should be able to default on their loans.


"In addition, there is a problem specific to medical practices - you can't just hand them over to your kid!"

- Doctors partner with the person that will take over their practice for years before retiring. PE is destroying this system and the latest crop of doctors will lose out on mentorship and the opportunity to run a practice. Everything will become big corporate offices and everyone will suffer


> Doctors partner with the person that will take over their practice for years before retiring. PE is destroying this system and the latest crop of doctors will lose out on mentorship and the opportunity to run a practice. Everything will become big corporate offices and everyone will suffer

Of all the doctors I personally know, only one was interested in working in such a practice (let alone owning one). Where is the existing doctor going to find other doctors to partner with? Especially when they can get paid more to work elsewhere?


What is the US interest in accepting more countries into NATO? Just to solidify its hegemony?


The US grand strategy is to build the largest military, democratic and economic alliance in order to dominate world affairs? Finland (and Sweden) punches above their weight in all three
