    The government doesnt have to accept. If this proposal is going to knock out power for half your country and you accept that deal you should be thrown in prison.

      no, how it works is the government accepts, the political leaders get rich, and anyone who fights this gets thown in jail.

    At this point I am wondering if the decision makers at these companies are incompetent or malicious and literally don’t know what they are building and just see big number.

    (it’s both)

      they don’t care. it’s not maliciousness or incompetence, it’s indifference.

    “Bill Gates is such a philanthropist, he’s a ‘good’ billionaire.”

    The fuck he is. Also, if you think Bill has nothing to do with the direction of Microslop because he stepped down from the board a few years ago, think again.

    Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who officially left the company in 2020 when he departed from its board of directors has reportedly been a silent advisor for its OpenAI partnership.

    “Gates’ advice is reportedly treated as gospel, and he also played a crucial role in fostering Microsoft and OpenAI’s partnership, and consequently, the success witnessed in the category.”

      Bill could drop dead tomorrow and nothing would change. corporate governance involves a lot more than one person.
