Well at least they're not yet fucking over subscribers of current premium plans by injecting ads, requiring a higher new sub plan to now avoid them.

They'll undoubtedly raise prices on all their tiers though, and premium lite will cost the same as current premium.

If these worked, OpenAI would be firing their own employees and using the agents. But they aren't. They still have headcount in the thousands.

What anime is this?

I hear the canal is going to be busier than ever with all those new tariffs

Well assuming you're not "financially successful" and talking about wealth classes that make their money from working, then by comparison they don't do anything differently when their paycheck arrives, or even know what day exactly they get their paycheck. If someone is living above their means or otherwise financially at risk, they're paying close attention to the numbers in their accounts. More subtly, they might say something like "I just got paid, let's go out for dinner" or "I'll buy those tickets on Tuesday" when there's no reason they shouldn't just get them now for whatever it is.

If you plan to return

Of course they'll say that, they want your attention, data, and money.

My point is that regardless of whether investigators say "this ship tore cables intentionally" or "oops, they screwed up", penalties need to apply so that:

A) Insurance rates reflect these risks

B) Operators are incentivized to care about not damaging undersea cables

C) Intentional damage will be more obvious, because shipping companies won't want to risk getting dropped from their insurance for repeat expensive cable cut offenses. (This kind of insurance is mandatory for major shipping ports to allow those ships to dock.) Bad actors will have to use other means to destroy these cables that cannot be easily blamed on negligence.

Intentional or not is irrelevant. Damaging critical national infrastructure through negligence should still be considered a criminal act with mandatory prison time for the negligent captain and navigator(s), and a heavy fine assessed against the shipping company.

What kinds of repercussions do these cases have right now?

Maybe. But the biggest employers are national if not international. They're gonna withhold federal tax.

No, businesses directly pay the federal government. More insidiously, it's impossible to opt out if you're employed full time; you have to be self employed to get to decide when/if/how much tax you send the federal government.

Apparently before 1943, people paid taxes individually once a year. Then a law was passed requiring their employers to do it regularly instead without their consent.
