The great thing about it is it doesn't matter what their motives are. They're gonna get what they want, and i like the overall trend

What makes you think that?

Think what?

That they will get what they want.

Or that motives don't matter, dealer's choice, because I don't believe either tbh.

So that didn't take long. Would you care to discuss the reasons why i was right? It doesn't take a Nostradamus, i just saw 500+ workers actually understanding their worth and showing their power.

And it took like a day. Though not every board member is leaving, yet, if the workers demand it, they will.

Isn't it great when the parasite class gets shown who's in charge?

I have an inkling its not that you didn't think they'd succeed, but that they shouldn't have. Why?

They didn't own equity in the company, fam.

This wasn't the oligarchy losing, it was the oligarchy winning, and Microsoft's investment staying secure thanks to their good little worker rats eager for a crumb of cheese.

I can't honestly say I'm surprised the board doesn't have a spine, though. They took Microsoft's poisoned pill in the first place, it's clear their actual principles on AI ethics ends when the road gets bumpy.

I would suggest you look at their new board members and ask yourself if they'll be protecting the idea of AI being a benefit to humanity, or if they're just more of those "parasites" you mentioned.
