    I used to believe this too. I was corrected and informed that if it collected as a donation it is not the company making the donation and they can not gain tax benefits from it. They also aren’t paying a sales tax on that money either.

    The benefit is exclusively the good PR from arranging the donation, which to be fair, they did. If the donation came through a credit card they may have covered the ~3% transaction fee, although they could potentially write that off for the portion that the donation increased the fee by.



  • I mean yeah… if he had a solution they would be actually have the revolutionary AI tool the tech writers write about.

    It’s kinda written like a “gotcha” but it’s really the fundamental problem with AI. We call it hallucinations now but a few years ago we just called it being wrong or returning bad results.

    It’s like saying we have teleportation working in that we can vaporize you on the spot but are just struggling to reconstruct you elsewhere. “It’s halfway there!”

    Until the AI is trustworthy enough to not require fact checking it afterwards it’s just a toy.











  • Because the first post is my feeling, the posts thereafter are supporting that first post. Continuing to couch the statement in opinion every time I reference that same opinion is bad writing. It’s not a court of law where I have to keep saying it’s my opinion over and over again. I said it once, and it remains so.

    But keep going, dude. You’re really showing me how wrong I am about your behavior.

    I voiced my opinion about a statement he made in an investor meeting where he was supposed to get people listening excited about the companies future prospects. It’s gonna be full of these kinds of statements.

    Then I get you riding in on your white horse telling me it’s not funny. Well, guy, I never said it was. I said he was joking because people were acting like he was making a statement of fact when he clearly wasn’t.

    Now go try this ethug nonsense somewhere else. You ruin discourse when you behave like this. If you disagreed with me, you could have started with all your articles, or maybe even brought up that people were sleeping in the offices at Twitter, but instead, you chose the path of attacking the word “joke”.

    You hate to see it…



  • the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one’s good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one’s position on a particular issue.

    You must not, since you are asking and then talking about whiping slaves or shit. Maybe you were thinking I accused you of “projecting.”

    Anyways, my point remains. You chimed in and downvotwd to assert that, stating my belief he was joking was somehow bad. Coming to the defense of an imaginary victim to tell everyone how important workers’ rights are when no one questioned it to begin with.

    Now, next time, maybe you should check the dictionary yourself before asking if someone else knows the definition of something 🤔
