80 fucking Bs for a single company, in a single department, in a single year. This is more than the government budget of entire first-world countries.

I’m so happy and proud of humanity that our effort to regulate AI, as well as the unbridled growth of big tech and techbros who by now openly decide government policy, has been as successful as our fight against climate change.

We might as well strap in and try to enjoy the ride. All the things the dystopian sci-fi writers warned us about are not only happening, but happening under cheering and fanfare, with the only identified problem is not going fast enough.
