It's so childish, it's like agreeing you lost an argument but then going "no you".

It's easy to judge history in hindsight. USA bombed the crap out of Japan during WW2, and Japan had amazing recovery.
Not to say that Cambodia was at all justified (or Japan for that matter), but that it's more complicated.
It's a lot easier to judge a person on objective things, like how effective they were at executing their policy.
This is clearly not the case. Google heavily prioritizes users actually finding what they are looking for.
Your take isn't uncommon, only are missing the main point of your interpretation - that the board is fully incompetent if it was truly that petty of a reason to ruin the company.
It's not even that it's not a justifiable reason, but they did it without getting legal advice or consulting with partners and didn't even wait for markets to close.
Board destroyed billions in brand and talent value for OpenAI and Microsoft in a mid day decision like that.
This is also on Sam Altman himself for building and then entertaining such an incompetent board.
No business wants to share it's internal costs, it's their prime competitive advantage
You don't make money by having amazing unique insight, you make money by finding soft players and milking them for money.
All the retail investors and day traders are the amateur players thinking they are decent but really are just getting milked
Russia has rerouted it's exports and replaced it's imports. Their budget is healthy and making record profits due to high energy prices caused in part by sanctions.
I also disagree Russian civilians are somehow innocent. Their tax base supports the government. Russia is still a democracy and they elect their government so are liable for their actions.
Lex also has an unhealthy skepticism about everything else, entertaining any absurd tales or conspiracies his guests spin.
Stats show people are inherently resistant to join any social media, until all their friends are already on there.
If none of your peers use social media actively or you don't keep in touch with large group of people, it wouldnt offer much value for you
Research shows 100% of bullying is caused by humans and eliminating all human contact reduces bullying by 100%
Amazing!
This causes mental health issues to go unaddressed, but, ironically, it also helps in a way, because peer pressure certainly helps reinforce individual discipline to develop techniques to keep it together. Peer pressure is a very powerful motivator.
For example fat shaming is certainly bullying but it's also certainly effective at discouraging overeating
But because they have so many more people average standard of life is still much lower
Chatgpt4 seems most powerful but Claude offers unlimited context which can be used to summarize entire books
Prepexity can browse and summarize web
Which one should I subscribe to?
Would make it a cool way to find underperforming code.
Manually clicking every flower to see what it says is a nightmare when on a typically social network it takes scrolling dozens of posts before finding something interesting you would read or engage with.
ChatGPT doesn't just steal and slightly modify the original. It fully copies the style and feel, which aren't copyright protected.
You can't just change the color of Mikey Mouse, call him AI Mouse and be good, but you can certainly create a new Disney-style character without triggering copyright violations.
Google and everyone else had no idea how successful LLMs could be until OpenAI did it.
That was hilarious to read about...
The objective is to maximize profit per unit of risk taken. If hedge fund made 20% less than market but took 50% less risk, that's a MASSIVE value proposition.
(now, one could argue they fail at that too, but that's more difficult to prove)
