    If you had gotten $10,000 just once 80000 years ago and invested it into a low-risk fund with a 0.5% profit, you would have approx $5.6 * 10177. Which is about $5.6 * 100165 more wealth than Elon Musk has.

    INVEST. YOUR. FUCKING. MONEY.

        Especially ones which include the wealthiest guy on the planet changing the NASDAQ rules to index his new IPO before the stocks volatility settles, just so he can steal 401k investments and pay all his buddies back for his shitty Twitter loss.

        Anthropic and OpenAI are going to try the same thing. So much for investing. You paid for their company’s research, and now you’re paying for their terrible business models afterwards. Honestly, they don’t even have business models, just AI hail maries where slavery and widespread poverty and famine are the success markers.
