A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Grok is an LLM, a fancy word distance measuring database, if you will, that has no opinions, it says nothing
Elmo put certain concepts about himself closer together, making it more likely that the database outputs phrases that are more positive about Elmo. It's sad, Elmo is a sad puppet with multiple drug addictions, and a severe narcissistic personality mixed with a huge inferiority complex, somehow.
Elmo is the richest puppet in the world yet craves being loved yet is only capable of actions that make him more hated. So is Elmo's curse. Elmo is sad.
Wanna avoid this sad story for other puppets?
Prohibit multi millionaires, cap personal netwoths at 10-20 million dollars. Nobody should be allowed to be worth more than that and any worth over that goes to taxes.
Prohibit companies to have a net worth of over a billion dollars. Anything over that, all to taxes
how would this work in your utopia? if the value of my investments goes over that, I have to sell them to give cash to the govt?
Seems difficult to raise capital that way. Would you put more large cap projects in the hands of a government? Things like power plants, large buildings, etc? No one could own or finance them since they are worth a lot.
Like it did in the US in the 1930-60s. Not gonna reinvent something that has proven useful and effective enough to create a superpower.
Something something banks?
Power plants are a perfect example of infrastructure that need to be national and not private in order to be technically and financially efficient. Running them for profit either means you end up overlooking safety for profit (see David Besse) or hiking the selling price which is detrimental to both your industry and population.
Large buildings are just not on the same financial scale or are just uselessly tall.
