I got the "taking a piss" and just stirred it up. You're welcome for that visual metaphor. Enjoy your potatoes :-)

I'm less criticizing than lashing out in frustration. I see writing genres as wine notes, not disjoint containers. It's the mix and juxtaposition that I often enjoy. If people like sticking a label on something and putting it in a box, who am I to stop them? But it does make it hard to discuss.

It would kill the commercial GAI industry, which produces nothing of value to the customer at this point. There's lots of AI that isn't LLM or image generation. Anything with an intractably large search space and limited conventional algorithms to narrow the targets. Chem, Physics, Medicine. Fine

1) Require all executive compensation in cash. If they want to own stock, they have to buy it like a proper investor. If they don't, do they really believe in the company?
2) tax dividends at 15%, but growth at 30%. Stock growth today is decoupled from actual corporate value.

Who wasn't warned? They weren't listening.
While I would have preferred proper framing (not "may pose conflict of interest", but "is a clear...") but the results were clear and, I think, inevitable because too many people were invested in the myths of the right.

Fuck yes. I keep hoping to sign a contract and you bet that's what I'm going to do that day.
Not a book contract, gods no, I couldn't write a book to save my life which is what I'd have to do if I did sign one .
