If you try and hold a short position for 25 years, you will lose all your money, even if you were right.

Yeah, this is a justification, but still -- they save single digit billions doing this, while AI capex is $150B (same timeframe) and RL spend is $16B. Feels like you could make the same cut from AI capex and barely notice a difference.

40% to taxes is a very high estimate for L4-L5, even in places like California or NY.

Yes, but, so what? It isn't a license to train AI on employee personal information. That said -- social media websites were later removed from the "work-related" list. So there was at least some recognition it was overreach

Opinion based on disclosed facts is not illegal in the US; Mangione would lose the suit, if he bothered to sue. Unlike the UK, we have free speech in the US.
