>> For the right investor base, $10B in annual losses at OpenAI could be worth $2-3B in tax shields

So just a loss for governments, or in other words, socializing the losses.

OpenAIs losses are someone else's (taxed) earnings.

Hi, I'm here to hold the bag?

We really should have thought of this before becoming peasants.

Have you tried not being poor?

It gives you a new opportunity to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Until mommy and daddy come along with another cash infusion.

You guys are getting bags?

Under our eyes

Your pension fund, yes.

This comment makes even less sense than jotras’ comment.

Pension funds buy shares in businesses such as Microsoft. The money going into the pension fund is not typically a function of the tax paid by companies such as Microsoft, but rather from a combination of actuaries’ recommendations, payroll tax receipts, and politicians’ priorities.

Therefore a pension funds’ equity holdings, such as Microsoft, doing well means taxes can be lower.

If only my country (Germany)’s pension fund was capital/stock based.

Most countries' broadest defined benefit pensions are just simple wealth redistribution schemes from workers to non workers as opposed to being paid from funds that were previously invested.

In the USA, Social Security defined benefit pensions are cash from workers today going to non workers today, same as Germany's national scheme (gesetzliche Rentenversicherung?).

The other defined benefit benefit pension schemes are what are usually invested in equities, and the investment restrictions section in this document indicate Germany's "occupational pensions" can also invest in equities. (page 12)

How's that different than any other sort of R&D incentive? Would you rather that companies return as much money as possible to shareholders, future growth be damned? What about other sorts of tax incentives, which by definition also "just a loss for governments"? Are tax breaks for people with kids also "socializing the losses", given that most households don't have kids?

I call it theft when the government steals money from people without kids to enrich parents.

No, because income equals expenditure. They are one and the same.

Private industry loses 10B. Governments mostly affected as they have less free money to extract.

They just need 3 settings for games, 1) make room hot, 2) make room warm, 3) maintain room temperature.

I use that first setting to keep my basement living room warm in the winter.

It's an issue even in theaters and is the main reason I prefer to watch new releases at home on DVD (Dune I saw in the theater, Dune 2 I watched at home.)

The dialogue in Dune and Dune part 2 was very clear in theater.

Probably also doesn't hurt that theater audio levels are usually far higher than what most people would use at home.

Nice, I think you should try replacing the book cover images with a short synopsis of the book, as I find many of the book covers off-putting.

The embodiment of “don’t judge a book by its cover” lol.

IMO it’s cleaner to have the cover and then click into to read the description. But I do see your point, more information density can improve the overall UX flow.

I've learned they very quickly switch to English if you speak to them in German :)

It's not so bad, with luck you'll eventually end up at a station outside of Germany.

I actually read the article, so I'm not confused about what it is about.

I also understood that it's about Copilot not doing the thing the author wanted.

Yeah, comparing this with research investments into fusion power, I expect fusion power to yield far more benefit (although I could be wrong), and sooner.

What I’m afraid of is the combination of cheap fusion power and AI. ;)

These seem like luxury questions.

For myself, prior to my next 'coding interview' I'd just like to ask what specifically the interviewer is hoping to learn, or achieve, with the coding interview.

If you're in the US then you will need to wait a year at least for any new job opportunities related to science.
