Noone is good here. Mr. Altman built a non-profit organization to help humanity, yes, that is what he said at first... This is a battle for power, let us not be naive...

We were talking about the fact that: > ~50% taxation rate is not even a particularly uncommon tax rate for top earners. Basically every developed country has that. > From 1932 to 1981 the top federal tax rate in the United States was

I am not sure what is wrong about that: they spend their money and that money falls in the hands of locals. I do not mean it should be the priority of a country (it should be other economic sources) but I do not find it harmful.

I find these practices criminal and directly humilliating: asking for permission to work as they smash you and if you have to shut down, go get f... I do not know how that can be seen as a good thing from any perspective (whether you believ

Rape and murder is not uncommon either and I think we can agree it is not something desirable.

> seems low for the provision of roads, schools, firefighters well, not so low if you think that for roads they get 24 billion + 16 billion from highways + car taxes (car registration and others) and the maintenance of roads is 7 billion

In England there is a policy for "no empty house". But tell me what happens in England if someone occupies a house. What I know is that they are kicked out and quickly. In Spain? Just stop the electricity or water for them or look

> "my marginal tax rate seems really high since I have a very high income" You can read my comment above. If it was only that... it is way more than that. But hey, a high income is not a reason to overtax over 50% to anyone. Th

Two countries in South East Asia (one is Singapore) to operate. The business is meant to be b2b SaaS which is quite global. But if I lived in Spain... omg I do not want even to imagine how they would try to prosecute me. So I do not live th

> Spain also smashes foreigners owning a property in Spain. I know this, just look at the media, removing Golden Visa (as if it was a problem to have a minority there getting some houses) or Richard Gere, that he run away bc he had to pa

My first decision when building my company was to leave Spain. They smash you very quickly. They do not care if they ruin you via prosecurion or you have to shut down. The tax agency is extremely agressive. The laws favor the agents to exte

From the outside, it is still competition. If they go too far to impose their system, we stop buying :)

My point was about what you can or cannot know depending on how much you can inspect. It could have been anything else the example.

A great insight? Where is the insight if there is no way to know? Objectively speaking, you end up exactly the same way you started. It is as if I said: oh, the app hangs: infinite loop or crash and frozen? It is one or the other, but never

LLMs are irremediably broken (agents also) for delivering software. The most you can do is to accelerste subworkflows and review as hell. Noone wants middle term maintenance nightmares or unreliable code. Can look good the first month, that

> Except leadership doesn't care about dumb bugs. Never has, never will (until it's too late). It cares about velocity and cost. This is the very moment at which I started my own business. I prefer to work for myself with some

I find the headline a lot about the "who". It sounds like trying to remove authority from the person that criticized it, but I think it is a good idea to focus on the arguments, and not on the ad-hoc assessments and conclude from

They would exist, but would be less spread. I am not saying it is good or bad. I am saying that if the barrier to entry is lowest, more people can reach it. This is a fact with almost anything that you look at around you, not only software.

Those apps where you share pics or whatever would not exist without ads if people had to pay for them. So I am not sure if all is bad in that sense. Bc it lets the apps for sharing without people having to pay to exist in the first place. I

Probably what is happening here is that in the race for AI, which, whether we like it or not, means power and control, Google crafted things in a way that it does not do "self-competition" by their old search engine. Idk, just thr
