That'll give Netanyahu the perfect excuse to continue slaughtering thousands of civilians.

Their fundamental error is not noticing other people are smarter than them.

That sounds like Trump accepts Putin's line that this war was the fault of Ukraine and NATO.

And I specifically mentioned the USA because that's the country where OpenAI operates and where the events in the article take place, so if someone asks why it's so easy for OpenAI to go from being a nonprofit to a for-profit company (this was the issue I was responding to, not some general question about whether money has influence around the world), it's the laws of the USA that are relevant, not the laws of other countries.

It all gets publicity, and he won in 2016 on the back of months of free outrage publicity. All the time our attention is on him, it's not on his opponent.

I don't see where I said that.

Ah, but one asshole gets very rich in the process, so all is well in the world.

Well whatever you call it, the virus is still everywhere and making lots of people sick. It's not at all odd to wear a mask when you don't want to catch a bug, or if you think you may be at risk of passing a bug on to others. Some close family members had COVID last week so we all wore masks for a bit, and I wore a mask in crowded situations so as not to pass it on. Seems like quite a normal thing to do, and so far the rest of us didn't seem to catch it.

It may surprise you to learn that sometimes other people make different choices from you.

Many of our home customers' feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks.

I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.

They're even doing an eager supervillain hand rub in the photo, delighting in the pain they're about to inflict.
