"now"...

Seriously, we can't limit ourselves based on what we've seen in our lives.

With a progressive president and Congress to back them up, we could 100% just say we're seizing their money and throwing them in prison.

Fuck it, there's honestly nothing stopping us except learned helplessness.

Take the wealth they stole from us, put them in prison, and just don't let them out.

They would 100% do it to us. Our society doesn't benefit from them being here, they don't pay taxes or do anything to pay us back. So whether they abscond and we only get domestic assets, or they're dumb enough to stay and we get everything.

Either way, we benefit.

And before anyone mentions shell companies, yes, we would also need to finally crack down on those too. If you're hungry and thirsty you don't do neither, you do both.

Musk should have been in jail for fraud years ago.

Different types of problem. Quantum computers won't be competing over the same workloads.

i used googles LLM to help me code a python script to completely replace my fake cloud ai twitch streaming companion with one that runs entirely on my own machine no internet required so now i don't need googles LLM

Literally the entire point of the comment you replied to, like making exactly that point.

Like; it’s not saying it’s a Ponzi scheme, it’s saying that this does everything a Ponzi scheme does, but with an extremely overvalued product, instead of no product at all.

so we don’t have a name for this type of fraud specifically, and we’re not calling it a Ponzi scheme because that, as we established, means something else. But it works very similarly, in the logistical sense. So much so that we can succinctly describe it - not by enumerating all the things it is - but instead juxtaposing it against a Ponzi scheme and establishing that it’s the same except if you change this one thing.

Perhaps we should name it instead? Like a Fauxnzi scheme? Like pronounce it like Fonzie so it’ll catch on with boomers? I mean maybe Henry Winkler doesn’t deserve all that but it’s descriptive no?

Yeah, that's the point.

Not sure he can
