What would be more appropriate example?
- ben_w 8mo agoApple, Tesla, Oculus. The first two are definitely "heroes who lived long enough to be villains"; Oculus is more of an "I recon" due to how it was seen right up until getting bought by Facebook. Adobe?
- shafyy 8mo agoLOL, Palmer Luckey is a right-wing war mongering psychopath.
- hamasho 8mo agoBut in the stock market, it is almost impossible for companies like Anthropic or any successful startups not to become villains (profit first no matter what). Anthropic especially needs to burn huge amount of money, so they need a lot of funding. The only way to keep founders' idealism is probably to copy Zuckerberg. Divide stocks with and without voting-power and trade only no-voting stocks.
- ben_w 8mo agoI'm not denying 95% of that, only saying that Zuckerberg didn't have any idealism to lose in the first place.
- hsuduebc2 8mo agoI actually forgot that his first site was facemash which single purpose was to rate "hotness" of each individual girl on his University.
