Pardon for what? The crime of losing money?
- RIMR 2mo ago
  Believe it or not, you are legally bound to act in the interests of shareholders. Though you cannot be pardoned from civil stuff, and the options to actually prosecute are pretty slim, so I doubt it. Though, even if this is just tongue-in-cheek, you can literally buy a pardon in America right now with just a little bit a money into the pockets of the Trump family, in case you didn't get the joke (that the US government is literally pro-corruption right now).

    Believe it or not, you are legally bound to act in the interests of shareholders. Though a common Internet trope, this is incorrect. However, “legally” or not, you might find yourself unemployed should you ignore the shareholders.

what law are you insinuating Aschenbrenner broke?

  I say this with absolutely no evidence and only stating it as a hypothetical. But as an example it would be plausible that insider trading was involved.

    trust us, it's quite clear you have no knowledge about the topic you are speaking on.

    Then why state it?

      Because Hacker News appreciates discussion of the theoretical, that exceeds the bounds of what mainstream society thought was possible.

        What I was specifically pointing at was it being a heavy AI play combined with the direct relationships he has at high levels with AI companies. For instance the chief of staff to Anthropic's CEO. What I was specifically referring to was a hypothetical that he could need a pardon. There was a question on what possible crime could be involved. All that said, I'd imagine if this was really happening that we wouldn't have today's headline in the first place.
