CEOs at companies with shareholders can NOT make decisions that may lead to outcomes that are negative for the company’s bottom line. Hence even though it seems bizarre they are asking the government to force them into decisions that are negative for the company’s income. Quoting @walterkirn The AI CEOs are free to hobble or scuttle their own products if they feel they're so dangerous. They don't need the gov't. They don't need legislation. government Related

I made a conscious effort to unplug during my vacation. Coming back, I noticed the lovely new Substack feature: Scan for AI text. Coincidentally, I had updated the About section for my Substack a while back with some notes on what my blog is *not*: "## What this isn’t Content creation isn’t my job. I write these articles because I a) love to write, and b) care deeply about our profession. It’s a fun hobby, not a job. Consequently, I don’t feel any pressure to publish on a schedule.

And I believe the best product CEOs are in the minutia of the details. you know, all the stories about Steve Jobs. I was so impressed when I heard that he insisted on picking out the carpeting in the conference rooms, you know, and and I tried to have that same mentality of micromanaging the really small pixel level details that matter.

Their words
I would agree to that type of package for every company I've ever worked with, and most CEOs wouldn't take it. Uh, it basically says you don't make money unless the stock goes way up.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
