He’s reaping what he saw. Things aren’t looking good for him nor his father, a lesson both of them will painfully learn from. Father career is possibly over.

You’re a hell of an optimist.

I’d say that it’s just as likely that the pardon sharpie is being readied, just as soon as the super PAC donation clears.


Put it into Trump's coin as a donation


Trump already rug pulled


Bribes are $3M cash. He's good.


why would that make a difference


X can't bribe Y by buying Z that Y has no interest in.


> Father career is possibly over.

Plenty of people would happily flush their career down the drain to run away with their family and $90M


I guess so but what about when you get caught and get nothing?


Just like many people are optimists in thinking criminals will get consequences, criminals are often optimists in thinking they won’t get consequences.

Both have cherry-picked their life experiences to support this view.


if you get caught. just saw a video on a couple who stole a Brinks armor car; disappeared into Europe with new identities; never caught until female turned herself in. Not everybody gets caught.


Is that same or different from the gang who robbed an armored car for about $100M worth of goods, and ICE stopped the prosecution and deported one of the robbers, before the stolen goods were recovered?



Sure, if you get caught. It's a huge risk though..

Pretty sure they'll both be fine as long as they still have access to that money.


the feds haven't even acknowledged there was a theft. it's possible they still don't know or somehow don't have the evidence to bring charges


Or this is a false accusation.

I don't have the knowledge to sanity check the claims, but I would've figured someone would be getting rolled by now. I recall that the dad was scrubbing socials along with the son, but that could be token harassment.


They did something, how else could the son flex watches worth 6 figures.


Likely? Yes.

Watches? You can also be right. Though, I don't think you need $90 million to spend <$1 million on a watch to splurge.


You can rent anything.


The feds won't say anything until after they arrest the father and son. Obviously there is an investigation going on but it takes more than a few days.


He and his son should be in jail. This is criminal; whether it's theft or criminal negligence.


This reminds me of the time when I got lost when visiting LA about 20 year ago. Asked some guy on the street for help. He gave me directions as he was smirking at me. Turns out he pointed me in the opposite direction from where I was going to and most likely he was just being a dick.


Content farms, whether AI generated or not their incentive is to pump out low quality high output. Most of their content even it involves a human narrator are heavily packed with AI generated media.


New AI narration is a dead giveaway to us but many people can’t tell they’re not listening to a human. It is very concerning.


AI content including youtube videos, podcasta and such need a stamp that content was AI generated.


How about don’t do that at all in digital public squares?


I made no comment about anything else.


They only stopped doing it in juristrictions where illegal, whatever that means…


They stopped doing it “in jurisdictions where it is illegal”.


Are you HR or something?


Nah but I recognize that HR, unfortunately, has to exist for larger organizations.

Unless you have an infinitely wise and patient dictator who can just say "you're an asshole, you go" and always make the right call or something.


What do you mean? The layoffs have nothing to do with people loving their jobs or being loyal to their employers.


I just mean people are just not excited about tech as they used to be.

I would expect, out of all the sites on the Internet, that people would say something like trying to lead some initiative that they never had the courage to do so before leaving the company if given no opportunity for the love of the industry.

Most of my neighbors who have well more than $10M in the bank (Tesla stock, houses, cash, etc.) and they all work because they enjoy it. The younger neighbors quit and just sit around doing nothing but collecting rent money from houses.

But of course, the only constant in life is that things will change. It isn't that surprising I suppose.


This thread is about jobs. If I had $10M in the bank I would be developing something I had equity in instead of enriching others.

If you ever hang out in the nonprofit sector you will notice that a lot of these underpaid workers are independently wealthy as well.
