<p>The problem with profit in the tech sector is that they reduced payroll to boost the stock and enrich the single CEO.<p>They don't have the people.  That is why all the big players keep using financing nonsense to buy everyone up. Killing competition is all the monopolists have left.</p>

<p>AI is local.  They need to invest in procuring hardware, which means making it themselves if that is the only way to get a card in every computer that can do the job.<p>If cloud based AI is any good, they will sell versions that can be hosted locally just like every other service since the beginning of the internet.</p>

<p>Any university that has not banned these while offering local hosted models is stealing from you.

<p>Name the city because this makes no sense.  You claim private utility companies are actually installing infrastructure?  Or are they just resellers that provide nothing?<p>The only reason cities are having issues with water and electricity is because we cut taxes on the rich. Wages went down and service quality got cut to make the CEOs richer.  The US has been coasting on all the infrastructure built in the 50-60s when we had a 90% federal income tax rate and CEOs were capped at making the 2026 equivalent of 5 mil a year.  Tax dodging was stopped, everything was funded and life was affordable.</p>

<p>I don't consider it extrajudicial. Kushner should be charged with crimes in the united states. It is not extrajudicial just because the US is corrupt and won't prosecute kushner.  Had that prosecution happened, everything the dutch did would be evidence against kushner.<p>I don't see why the dutch have any obligation to avoid monitoring a compromised phone that the US lets happen.  The dutch have every right to know what the russians are getting from that phone.<p>You are picking the wrong case for your cause.</p>

<p>Wage theft is a real crime and you don't get to rename it because your feelings are somehow hurt.  Calling taxation "theft" is just vapid right wing mccarythism. Rich people paid mccarthy money to lie over and over again because at the time it was illegal to broadcast those lies on tv or radio.  But a senator was immune and could lie all they wanted.<p>You are never going to be right about anything if you actually think what you posted makes any sense.</p>

<p>Then charge them cleanly and don't artificially try to inflate charges. It is the duty of any jury to let someone off when they feel its malicious prosecution.<p>Police, Prosecutors, and Judges all openly use their discretion. Each of them could have quashed the charge before it got to a jury.  The jury is the last line of discretion. Police, prosecutors, and judges love to call it "jury nullification" but its the same power that police, prosecutors, and judges use multiple times a day.<p>The only crime I see is that police arrested an innocent person on false evidence, prosecutors charged someone based on false evidence, and a judge is actually allowing this case to proceed all based on evidence that everyone knows is false.</p>

<p>People did vote for their property taxes to go up when they voted for republicans to cut taxes on billionaires.  The republicans did not stop wars, foreign spending, or wasteful spending, they stopped domestic spending on things regular people needed.<p>Property taxes automatically goes up to cover the missing federal dollars, that is why property taxes are skyrocketing.  Republicans cut federal income taxes and made it easier for CEOs to earn unlimited tax free money.<p>Property taxes have to pay for everything local that back in the 1950s was all taxpayer funded federally because we had a 90% federal income tax bracket and post-1929 financial regulations. Stock buybacks were illegal and CEOs could not pay themselves in stock and bubble the stock price to enrich themselves. When rich people shift money out of pockets of people who pay taxes to their own pockets where they pay no taxes, they defund the entire tax base and property taxes skyrocket.  GDP is still at record highs and companies are posting record profits, but CEOs can run these companies so they and their insiders take all the money.<p>All the protections have been gutted by the republican party. We are back to the late 20s entering a new great depression.  Removing the policies that ended the great depression is how you create a new great depression.</p>

<p>They would not leave, they cannot leave and still grift. The US's lack of regulations and tax enforcement is how they all get rich.<p>This is just more fraud by boards controlled by CEOs.  The CEO screws up his personal finances despite being a billionaire and now we steal from all existing shareholders to fund the entire tax bill. This is just fraud out in the open.  They take tax free bank loans against their stock to avoid selling it and any time they screw this scheme up, boards seem to automatically give them more free stock to fully cover taxes or losses while they keep the tax free loan money. It's insane.<p>We used to stop this in the 1950s with a 90% federal income tax bracket and post-1929 financial regulations.  Republicans cut both over decades and now we are back to the late 1920s waiting for the next great depression to officially start.  Everything we did to end the great depression was undone, so we are back to a new great depression.</p>

<p>Now two companies get to steal your work instead of one.<p>Listen to people like Buckmaster who admits he will never put anything meaningful into codex again.<p>If you are an academic, figure out why your university is not running local AI models in house for academics and students to use. It's absurd that any college would want their entire student body datamined by a corporation who will use that data to destroy job prospects so a billionaire CEO can become a trillionaire.<p>Colleges should be running caches you can set your browser to use when doing research so all the pages are stored.  All the info should be used to improve in house llms.  It is no different than when universities funded super computers, computing labs, web host space, academic journals/resources, and everything else. It is like all universities stopped being universities.  They charge students more than ever and provide none of the resources they used to.</p>
