Imagine you where in their shoes and you do value human life. What would you realistically do? Honest question, I’d like to think I’d do something different then them, but I can not think of a way that does not cut ties completely. I think the best I could do, is secretly support opposition behind the scenes, not sure how much of that is happening though.

I think for a lot of them, they don’t agree with most of his policies, but as CEO of such big companies you can not openly oppose him. They would lose a fortune, so instead they try to get the most out of it for their company.

Also, you gotta see it from their view. They are stuck with him now for 3 more years. In 3 years AI will keep getting bigger and may change a lot, loosing those 3 years because of trying to make a stand, might mean lossing your position on the table and your influence on its development completely.

All that said, I’m not saying it’s good that that’s what they are doing, but I can see some strategy in doing it like that

One of them actually being London. They had contactless pay with Google pay there for years already, without location service. You tab to go on and tab when you exit the metro

Nfts never really had any use in the first place. Ai and LLMs does have a lot of fields where it will be used and expanded on, how much depends a lot on how it keeps developing.

But current state LLMs already can change a lot, but it will take years to be implemented widespread. Think of all the things that are still not digital at all
