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 invasive ads that try to take the attention of people who aren’t looking for the product in question

> 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!

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.

Does collusion require privacy? You can collude in public if you want.

Or reform your legal system? I mean it's clearly not working very well, time for a change.

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 insane people.

The role exists because if you and I both know AI is heading towards being a commodity (thanks China!) then openai absolutely knows it too, and they're planning HARD to avoid this existential threat.

Alternatively, the tech never commoditizes because of the scale of power dynamics at play, and we’re stuck with a few increasingly more wealthy and powerful corporations.

Regulatory capture is always an option, true. Certainly seems to be the favored direction of the current administration.

well what can you expect?

"Head of" + "Strategic" + "Futures"...?

hard to not attract insane people

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.

Nobody knows what the Laffer curve is. Maybe we should be raising taxes.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make
