some poor company's AI

Fuck you, those bastards have billions of dollars and zero ethics. Let them eat a great big bucket of salt.

    Random philosophical question - If Sam Altman is billions in debt, is he richer, or poorer than us? I know it's a silly, mostly rhetorical question, but for whatever reason my brain found the idea interesting

    Elementary, my dear Watson.

    If he faces the consequences for his actions, he is poor. If he has people to do that for him, he is rich.

    Wealth is measured in power and sway in capitalist society, not cash. If you can write a check to a lobbyist to get them to change a bill for you that you never voted on or participated in congress to enact, you are rich.

    his relationship to capital makes him a different class and therefore able to exploit the working class. bottom line is, if he’s cash poor it doesn’t matter; he’s a piece of trash.

    Hmm. I wonder if he's richer than us.

    I mean, my net worth is above million. Doesn't mean I have a million or I'm not into debt, or that I can easily afford the rent.

    Magnitude matters in a system designed to reward rich people. You can't afford rent, so you will have to settle for sleeping in your car. Altman can't afford a $100MM house, so he will have to settle for sleeping in a $20MM house.

    Poverty in the end is about lack of access to better conditions of living. Some people are running away from war zones with nothing but the clothes they have on. They are broke, but they're not "can't live in the metropolitan area of NY and has to settle for the suburbs" kind of broke.
