Pi works very well with deepseek though

This is untrue btw

50% of people in the US pay effectively no net taxes

That already exists. The rate is 40% of the asset value.

This is public information. Their financial statements show clearly that they made a loss every single year since the data is available.

What are you talking about??

Do you think shareholders do not consider their employees performance when deciding to hire/keep them?

Do you think CEOs don't do that when it comes to their executive team?

Do you think the executive team doesn't consider that?

It all comes flowing down.

I can assure you as a shareholder i am 100% focused on getting a return, and I will fire (or vote to fire) any executives that i believe are doing a bad job, or who accept that their underlings do a bad job.

Hiring people, and then firing them some time later is not intrinsically the same as doing a bad job, nor does it mean there was "overhiring".

Also. "hurts workers"? What?

Workers receive the payments that were agree to, for the period that was agreed to. No more, no less.

You are no more entitled to a job than the supermarket is entitled to my patronage, and me choosing to no longer purchase from you, whether it be groceries or labor, is not me hurting you.

It just sounds like you're upset and want to hurt whoever you feel is responsible for making you upset. That's not a productive stance to have on important topics.

Is your stance that shareholders should perpetually subsidize it out of the goodness of their hearts?

It would still ultimately exfiltrate the data outside of my control, and frankly i don't trust any "secure enclave" tech.

As far as i'm concerned physical access is root access, and for any private stuff that is wholly unacceptable.

To be clear, i'm not doing state of the art stuff. I mostly used it for frontend development since i'm not great at that and just need a decent looking prototype.

But for my purposes it's a perfectly good model, and the price is decent.

I can't wait for open model small enough for me to run locally come out though. I hate having to rely on someone elses machines (and getting all my data exfiltrated that way)

If that doesn't work, you can always go to the police/bailiff with the court order and schedule a date/time for them to go with you to their offices to seize and auction off their stuff.

Those regulations are choices. You can make different choices. You can make them tomorrow.

I'm sorry but i cannot take seriously any problem that essentially boils down to "We want it to be like this".

There are 9 billion people in the world, roughly half of them are perfectly capable of doing manual labor.

There is plenty of skilled labor, and the cost is frankly not that high, you just need to let them work.

Can we be serious here? There is one and only one cause of "high housing prices" and that is a political choice to make housing expensive.

Don't tell people what they can or can't do with their property.

Don't prevent people from being brought in to build stuff.

Do these 2 things and housing will be built if the price is truly high. Anything else is bullshit.

That's not how the economy works... Nothing gets "sucked out of the economy", and certainly not a productive investment that generated that income.
