There’s an interesting detail in here about Sam trying to spin up a chip company with Middle Eastern money. That’s potentially a double point of contention: one for trying to start a company which would be a supplier for OpenAI, and one for taking Middle Eastern money. The latter of course depends on your degree of idealism.
- lusus_naturae 3y agoWhat's the distinction between taking "middle eastern money" when according to some people's definition the U.S. is complicit in enabling a genocide? Not saying I believe this claim in its entirety, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is impossible to ignore and just chalk up to war-business-as-usual.
- BryantD 3y agoDepends on where your moral lines are. I have a fairly good sense of where mine are but I don’t know the board so I’m not going to make a guess there.
- lusus_naturae 3y agoI don't under moral relativism I guess, it makes everything too much into either "it's okay if my tribe does it" or "there's no morality, only affinity groups". So in effect, I guess for some people the distinction between not taking middle eastern money, but taking US money is those people's affinity group.
