    A private company can’t take away my property via imminent domain and civil forfeiture. A private company doesn’t have an army of masked jack booted thugs that can shoot people and have “qualified immunity”, etc.

    Only the government has a monopoly on legalized violence. I’ll take my chances on not giving the government more power

      I mean, this is historically untrue, such as with VOC for example.

        Well we aren’t talking about “historically” there is no reasonable path to get from here -> masked thugs from Google snatching someone off the street and disappearing them in another country

    Not surprising from the Epstein class, who seem to believe the people serve the government, rather than the right way around. They continue to build ill-will among the people by saying things like this, just after someone else at OpenAi tried to do damage control on their misrepresentations last week.

      Altman is very skilled, but not very sly, when it comes to using manipulative language. Although his simultaneous multiparty gaslighting is new unexplored technique for him, previously everything was done one on one.

      I am inclined to believe Ann Altman, personally - as someone who went through similar experiences the way their family closed ranks to protect the patriarch over the victim is pretty much exactly how child abuse continues unabated.

      It’s possible of course that she’s mistaken, but that “Drive” that PG so admires tends to be a trait of sociopathic people - certainly those who are swift and decisive in the boardroom making decisions about the lives of others tend to have the same traits as abusers, and the resources to make problems go away.
