I agree but I came across Dolly Parton syrup in the grocery store once. Had to say for all the good, that felt a bit odd, strange and out of place with Dolly’s character.

How does that play out for them? China gets a lot of money from US spending.

What’s your point? Regurgitating the article isn’t useful nor why I come to the comment section.

That's dismissive to my point. Society built itself up. Corporations that suck on society's tit and give nothing back, demand profits, and continue to skim off the top are not Mother Teresa.

Seems there is opportunity for a company to rise to the top if they take a stance that buys societal goodwill.

Why should we? Corporations steamroll the public, take their tax breaks and ask for more.

I’ve been interviewing in big tech for nearly 8 years. I’ve not tracked but hires are far fewer compared to rejections.

Seems like we all forgot about the election scandal with Meta. They are a parasite to society and what used to be a way to connect with college peers has become a stain to adolescent development.

Scary and utter chilling to read. Reminds me of the Firestone scandal in some ways but likely with far reaching worse consequences for society.

The general population does not understand technology sufficiently well to set it up correctly, regulate it or use it correctly. Until we educate our population more on technology we will always be in this state.

Nvidia has to balance relations with their biggest customers. So that’s a careful decision to be made by them.

> OpenAI has abandoned its open source roots.

It was only a matter of time. The font on the dollar sign kept increasing, eventually selfish humans will always crack. Keeping it open had to be instilled with it becoming a public utility. Private companies don't do altruistic things unless they benefit.
