I feel like more people need to “forget” the /s

To quote my favourite comedian: Jokes should never end with “I’m Joking”

Fair enough, you didn’t say you condone it. But your comment does read with much more support than I would offer. And asking me which charities I’d donate to… ha! I don’t see why that’s relevant. Maybe I would do the same, but I don’t already have an $800,000/yr base salary.

More relevant: this windfall would be 250yrs income for me. And on that income I already do donate to charity (albeit probably about 2% of my earnings). If this chump followed my percentage they would be donating 6 whole years worth of my salary on this windfall (plus 1/3 of my salary per year).

The point is “treating yoself” to $12mil after tax is absolutely obscene whatever way you look at it. Not to mention still sitting on 3x more than that.

Awarded themselves shitloads of stock, then sold a quarter of their shares each as soon as humanly possible. That money is not being invested in the company, it’s going straight in these individual’s pockets.

Share prices don’t only fall if the company liquidated stock. They will also fall from something like a mass sell-off because lower and lower prices will be commanded to sell large volumes of stock.

You know, like the one in the article that talks about the 25% drop in share value.

Won’t somebody think of the poor shareholders.

When I treat myself, it’s to a takeaway meal that’s like $20. Reddit has “never made a profit”™. Siphoning $16mil out of it on day one is obscene.

Nestlé is Swiss. That’s not in Scandinavia or Social Democracy. It’s one of the most thoroughly capitalistic nations in Europe.

It’s all honks over there in the new world.

Banned from lemmygrad? Impressive.

7.5 trillion pound coins is a lot, I wonder how much they weigh.

Interesting take. In all of the defences of LLMs using copyrighted material it’s very often highlighted that “fair use” allows exactly such summaries of larger texts.

In reality, “fair use” is ruled on a case by case basis, so it’s impossible to judge whether something is or not without it going to court.

Is this bot a closed system which is being used for profit? No, you know exactly what its source is (the single article it is condensing) and even has a handy link about how it is open source at the end of every single post.

I don’t think anyone’s going to pay for your version of ChatGPT

BRAIN MELTING

No, I grew up eating foods that I could be certain weren’t made up of 99% corn syrup.

Oh sorry, you’re right, there’s an address for more info. I shall scribe my correspondence post haste in order to discover the nature of the product on the shelf.

You know what else is odd? That you’re staunchly defending this label with barely any information on it. Pretty much every point you’ve made is “but why does it need information”…

I thought it was my EU brain interpreting it that way. The alternative, like your wine example, is basically a black market cut product anywhere else.

As other people said, in the EU with “honey blend” you’d expect a blend of different types of honey, as it wouldn’t be allowed to be call honey unless it was pure honey. Having to decipher “made with real honey” to mean “its not real honey” is just fucking odd. Flip it over and look at the ingredients and its just a list? Why no percentages?

Gourmet stuff comes in all sorts of weird packaging and shitty stuff comes in fancy packaging, so having to assume it is corn syrup because it’s in a bear shape is also weird.

No rules for food labelling is wild.
