Re: Use or ornament? And expanding upon that notion ...... for a really Happy New Year and AIge

How’d you like to earn more than half a million dollars working for one of the world’s fastest-growing tech companies? The catch: the job is stressful, and the last few people tasked with it didn’t stick around.

Which is what inevitably happens when a company's employees are not personally aligned with the stated policies. When what they are rewarded for doing comes into conflict with supposed '"vision”. ..... Pete 2

Sam Altman [and anyone else also wanting to pioneer leadership in successful ChatGPT style fields of surreal remote manipulative human reprogramming] will have the additional burden and hurdle of company employees/executives having to be proactive and formative of new stated visionary policies which invariably inevitably will result in national and international state vested interests being conflicted and brought into dispute and disgraced. But that's where all the new fortunes are to be made when the present day ponzi and unicorn markets suddenly implode and catastrophically explode and spectacularly collapse.

And just so you know, those sorts of leadership roles demand and command and deserve at least seven digit seven figured [7,777,777] or eight digit eight figured [88,888,888] or nine digit nine figured [999,999,999] sums of reward. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys and donkeys leading lions and wannabe brave hearteds down the rocky forked road of garden paths to nowhere worth going or staying .... such as are the present day ponzi and unicorn markets stress testing to the verge of spontaneous systems collapse the extreme limits of viable remote third party valuations ...... and methinks that, rather than anything specifically AI/LLM/AGI related, is the much more real and present danger existential threat to humanity to be fought against and remedied/vanquished and denied future remote, self-interested and crazily expensive leading influence ‽ .

Ben M, Hi,

Regarding …..

This is the same story with the poisoning of Lough Neagh. A small number of people in the agriculture sector make more money poisoning the water, so of course, they come first. Because?

…. all may not be as it first seems …… and a great deal worse than has up until now been imagined.

This week, they [quaggas] were detected in Northern Ireland for the first time, with the country’s environment minister, Andrew Muir, warning that “increased vigilance and surveillance” was critical. ....... The filtering activity of quaggas also results in the water being clearer, which means light penetrates deeper. Like climate breakdown, this can lead to warmer water reaching deeper, with knock-on effects including an increase in toxic blue-green algal blooms. ..... Once quagga mussels are in a lake there is nothing you can do, other than stop them colonising other lakes by cleaning boats and fishing equipment. ……. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/18/invasive-quagga-mussels-lake-geneva-aoe
