Plan A is certainly staying in power, absolute power, in the US.
Plan B might be escaping prosecution for corruption, pedophilia, rape, ... but still with a bigliest bank account.
It's ironic how your first thought is not to make them accountable in front of the law just like everyone else.
Years ago there was a sketch in France making parody of local news to denounce racism: Anchor: "A man shot at a group of Arabs arguing they were too loud. After investigations, the police concluded that indeed, the Arabs were too loud".
This news brought that immediately in my mind.
The idea that Trump would stop at what he "simply demands" today once he gets satisfaction is so naive that it's almost cute.
No. As long as the base remains opensource (AOSP), they can remove the bad parts. Graphene has made numerous contributions to AOSP, I'm confident they can manage that. And if the user base growths, I hope their fundings will follow.
It would be a good thing for the world if AOSP was forked with big resources behind an open project with an open governance. But that needs lot of resources.
WTF! How did I miss that and how the hell did that not trigger a giant red flag for any investor with more than 2 neurons???
All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although § 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of several federal sex offenses. The same five-year maximum penalty attends the separate crime of conspiracy to commit any of the four substantive offenses.
Even 1 year in jail should be a good enough incentive, if only he could not buy his way out.
Agree, but since he stated multiple time that all cars since xxx years were hardware capable of L5 self-driving next year (no need to precise the year, the statement is repeated every year), adding LIDAR now would be opening the way to a major class action. So he painted himself in a corner, and like all gigantic-ego idiots, he doubles down every time he's asked.
It is actually the whole problem.
Oligarchs have too much money in a world that's already edging to end of abundant resources, but they absolutely want to see their wealth keep growing as if it could go on indefinitely. Tüey already squeezed workers and taxes, there is not much more margin there. There is pretty much no business left that can promise past returns, except single shots based on governments corruption.
Being not half as smart as they think they are, they got conned by AI startup pitches about giganormic growth opportunities, and poured a shit ton of money on them. Now the con-men need to entertain them for as long as they can to suck them as much as they can.
Everybody else is paying the price.
Oligarchs are just as dumb as any random person. They shouldn't exist to start with. No one deserve is worth much money and worthy of the power it grants.
It's not so much about being short-sighted as being greedy con-artists: the longer they maintain the illusion AI will eventually work and be profitable, the more money in their own pocket.
They stopped at one year to keep investors on that thin line between a state of too much confidence so they stop investing more and say they poured enough money for AI companies to break even, and the state where they lose hope and cut their losses.
In any other country, I would agree. In the US, you're guaranteed they will privatize the shit out of it until it's costly, inefficient, unreliable, but someone became a billionaire.
