Reading about #Nvidia CEO crying about people not liking #AI, though it was a good time to recover this historic piece of art from the Copyright wars of the start of the century. Cc'ing @pluralistic

remember the bit where owning a business is meant to be high risk and high rewards?

We absolutely should not be taking away the risk. Failing businesses because of lack of demand shows that the free market is working. Give the workers a safety net, but those who gamble usually have their own

(Businesses that fail because someone else is anticompetitive is not ok.)

@craignicol I’m of the opinion everyone should get a safety net (including millionaires and people who have never worked in their lives), but a safety net shouldn’t include keeping your four houses with a swimming pool and a yacht. In fact, it shouldn’t include even one house, with or without swimming pool. It should include a home, however.

@ahltorp I agree. That's why they still get food to eat and shelter, just like everyone else should. Means testing necessities is abhorrent. Everyone should get the basics without any admin.
