@Strandjunker The wealth of these people is a function of the holdings in the companies they founded. Tax the company. Taxing an individual's unrealized gains is a slippery slope.

@ElleGray I have trouble wrapping my head around the mindset of a person proudly proclaiming their complete reliance on AI. I’m always thinking, “bro, this didn’t exist a year ago, what have you been doing up until now? Do you really want to broadcast that you’re useless?”

Use AI as a tool, sure. But if that’s all a person has in their toolbelt, 😬.

@ElleGray Swap out the G3 for an M3 and ship it. Also, the iMac G4, but with an M4. I'd buy both tomorrow, no questions asked.

A clip from an old Apple iMac G4 commercial where a man is looking through a window display at the computer and makes a a circle with his head, and the monitor on the iMac, with it's articulating arm, mimics his motion.
