      Tax them at 1000% it won’t make a difference.

      The tax is applied to net, not gross profits. And wouldn’t you know it? No business ever makes any money.

    Could you imagine a country where everyone financially profits off the destruction of our shared society? Our water, forests, oceans, infrastructure, and much more just to get a buck. The critical thinkers see the backwards thought process behind the long term results of this I would guess. If this were to go the way tech wants, best case scenario we cover some ubi but the cost is everything we hold dear.

    Or maybe somewhere in the middle where we as shareholders get to decide how these companies are run… But as we’ve all noticed by now… We as a collective society can’t be trusted with these types of decisions.

    But you know Sam also can’t be trusted with both the power and money so what’s the best option to address this issue.

    And risk the liability when the AI bubble bursts? Microsoft trying to charge customers the actual costs of CoPilot are not going well.

    AI companies need to pay for their emissions, subsidize power costs in communities affected by data cents, and just generally be made to shoulder the true costs of what they’re doing. When they pass this on to customers usage will plummet.

      He’s sheep dogging disenfranchised voters back into the party. That’s what sheep dogs do take commands from their handlers.
