Standard tax deduction for businesses as a work truck. Technically you need to be using it only for business reasons but we all know how fuzzy small business owners get with that kind of stuff sometimes.

Dave Cutler has elaborated on a lot of this stuff in some recent YT interviews that are excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K3eMzF6x28 Part of it is Cutler really really hated working with IBM... it starts around 3:

This is standard operating practice for shitty journalists to create smoke and generate attention. Journalists suck. They're basically one step away from paparazzi.

Kicked out is a bit hyperbole. They don't have their champion anymore but the deal and their minority ownership stake are inked. They still get tech and profits. They might not have a path to owning OpenAI now but that was a problem a

I'm expecting lawsuits in the next day or two from Altman for libel and defamation. I'd be surprised if OpenAI investors don't go to the courts also ASAP.

They're going to be helming a ghost company soon. Good job; great effort. They're never going to get the funding they need after this clown show. Nobody is going to give them $$$ without seriously restructuring the board.

Clownshow. Holy shit, this is what happens when stupid people get put into positions of power and money and have no idea how things actually work. Fucking non-profits are the worst to deal with.

I'm surprised by so many people taking offense at it. Very direct and to the point, it's great. People have become so fragile in the last decade or so. It's pathetic.

Stock ranges look accurate. Base numbers I'm unsure about but the base change more frequently than the stock ranges. Still peanuts but you don't work at MS to maximize $$$ but rather for WLB

Meh, the hole is tiny. Most people are still going to X/Twitter. Journalists are addicted to it still. Sports and media personalities aren't moving. Only a tiny fringe amount of tech needs and political activists care.
