Yea the weights are the secret sauce that OpenAI and competitors generally protect.

> For those reading this who haven’t bought a new-in-box retro computer lately, $59.99 is fall-out-of-your-chair cheap, but Pellegrini has largely avoided price-gouging. Only recently did he increase the price to $99.99.

Looks like they've raised prices a few times since. Latest listing by them is at $180:

And yet, socializing any potential losses across banks (as opposed to homeowners, back in 2008) feels like the appropriate move.

I assume you're deriving the 23¢ from the 23% they have banked, but I would like to note that of that 23%, roughly a third (3.3bn of 9.7bn) was with SVB. The rest was with other banks not facing the same issue.

Centralized projects are more likely to be deemed securities. If that were to happen with a coin Coinbase actively trades, they would be in legal trouble.

I am not a history expert but it is interesting to hear that re: Rome, given the author's background

> Ugo Bardi is professor of physical chemistry at the University of Florence, Italy. He is a full member of the Club of Rome, an international organization dedicated to promoting a clean and prosperous world for all humankind, and the author, among other books, of The Seneca Effect (2017), Before the Collapse (2019), and The Empty Sea (2021).

Generally you aren't limited in how much you can sell. If Tesla deposits $270m worth, the exchange won't stop them from selling. I think you mean withdraw (there are pretty strict limits on how much you can withdraw)

> Some founders create structured equity that only pays out after the company’s stock appreciates significantly. Other CEOs have out-of-the-money options (Elon Musk is famous for this).

I looked up OTM options and it looks very similar to the first sentence. Basically, you (the founder) tie your compensation to the success of the company. You win big if the company wins big. Can anyone disambiguate the two situations in the quote further?

A lot of dunking happening here - titles like this article's can definitely turn people away, as people have learned that money means something (undesirably) different in "crypto." That said, the article does provide a pretty good job documenting the creative process, the path to minting, and the launch of a campaign. I encourage anyone interested in the space to get past the triggering headline and give it a read.

edit: looks like the submission got flagged/removed from the feed on HN. sigh
