Their pay bands aren't too bad, you've made your own million in not too long, or else lived the high life.

...and sell out everyone else in the process? Nah. Hard pass. You're part of the problem. Without people like you playing the arbitrage game, they'd have no co-conspirators to prop up their socio/psychopathic behaviors. They'd have to renormalize. The rest of us may suffer, but you're the one damning yourself and everyone else by being receptive to the manipulation and saying "yes" instead of "no". Leave these people to muddle their way forward with their hallucinating sycophant machines. Let them turn their large fortunes built on our backs into small ones as the inability of their models to adapt decays, leading them only to madness. Or, keep doing what you're doing. Trade comfort now for the suffering of your loved one's later. Your choice. Either way, know mine.

  I don't work there, my ethics forbid it. Mostly because of their business attitude and history. Turned down an offer during the Travis years. What does Uber have to do with hallucinating sycophant machines?

    Sorry. Was talking a few steps ahead of everyone else not realizing I hadn't filled in the gap. Was referring to executives fascination with AI to replace human beings. It really doesn't matter the name on the building. There's a type of person elevated to those management positions, and it's specifically for their disconnection from the rest of humanity conferring them the capability to take risks other people bear the cost of. We're going to see a huge uptick in horrible things coming out of non-risk-averse people, because AI tooling won't say "no". As long as they can get away with it without being hindered, the only remaining feedback loop to hold them back is personal blowback. They'll optimize themselves ahead to the point they won't be able to stop the system in the time it takes to realize something is going wrong, and the only thing to warn them that anything is going to happen will be "You're right! Let me get right on that!"

What would you be spending that money on exactly? If you can't afford to unplug on the weekend, spend time with family / friends, then you are poor.
