You can regulate it, which is exactly like the comic.

It’s not pro-ai… it’s literally saying that we can pause AI just like we did _ insert other things we’ve paused _

You can make that 6/7 (my wife and I).

It wouldn’t do anything because all those big companies operate completely separate subsidiaries in almost every country on the planet. They would just split off and continue to operate with no changes functionally.

That is a common misconception, very often spread all over the place on Reddit. There is no such requirement.

And corporate case law describes directors as fiduciaries who owe duties not only to shareholders but also to the corporate entity itself, and instructs directors to use their powers in “the best interests of the company.”

Serving shareholders’ “best interests” is not the same thing as either maximizing profits, or maximizing shareholder value. "Shareholder value," for one thing, is a vague objective: No single “shareholder value” can exist, because different shareholders have different values. Some are long-term investors planning to hold stock for years or decades; others are short-term speculators.

I’m sorry.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

It does only the last one and only partially.

Where did you hear that anyone involved is being treated badly?
