Good points. Maybe that last could be part of the equation. Like a logarithmicly escalating rate for unoccupied rentals.

Oh no, someone is being reasonable on the internet!? ;) that’s a good idea though. Also, rent seeking properties should be taxed higher.

Lost me at “designed”

Well… That sucks. Makes a depressing amount of sense.

I don’t think anyone actually read the announcement, just the headline. Here was the new CEOs actual first point.

“First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.”

I totally agree with you. In fact, I know people who use ChatGPT exclusively and don’t touch the web anymore. Who knows who will have the best models, but they are definitely capturing a lot of people early.

Same for me… It’s depressing. And I no faith the government will do anything besides make it worse. If we’re lucky we’ll get the Expanse 's version of basic.
