hobbesmaster posted:the NFL was a special type of “non profit” created for them or maybe MLB? basically the overarching administrative body of a pro sports league could operate as a “pass through” entity to the teams making up the league. same ballpark as the impression i got when i visited america for the first time in the 90s was "non profit" just means "tax break" it doesnt mean "charity" in any way hot take i know, but i was 20 so i felt like idk stevie nicks or whoever Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Mar 25, 2023 |

the nonprofit still exists and owns the LP (limited partnership). it seems to me that the nonprofit takes "donations" (but only from extremely specific people, i.e. investors) and then distributes that money to the llc, which the investors then get equity in alongside employees, who get stock like a more normal startup the wiki explanation of it is pretty good: quote:In the United States, the limited partnership organization is most common among film production companies and real estate investment projects, or in types of businesses that focus on a single or limited-term project. They are also useful in "labor-capital" partnerships, where one or more financial backers prefer to contribute money or resources while the other partner performs the actual work. In such situations, liability is the driving concern behind the choice of limited partnership status. The limited partnership is also attractive to firms wishing to provide shares to many individuals without the additional tax liability of a corporation. Private equity companies almost exclusively use a combination of general and limited partners for their investment funds. Well-known limited partnerships include Enterprise Products and Blackstone Group (both of which are public companies), and Bloomberg L.P. (a private company).

Beeftweeter posted:he thinks bingGPT is going to end the world i guess There's a part in one of the lesser known Werner Herzog documentaries (about the internet or something) where he interviews Musk. He just kind rambles on incoherently about the threat of AI and his fear for humanity from AI. Then he goes all quiet and like, stares off into the distance and seems to choke up or something. Maybe shits his pants, idk, it's unclear. Anyway the point is that after watching that, it's extremely clear he really believes this nonsense. He's deeply deeply stupid and pisses his pants over a chatbot that churns out writing on the level of a C+ highschool student who did the assignment the night before it was due.

Maybe shits his pants, idk, it's unclear. i don't doubt he believes it because it's one of the very few consistent things he's said throughout the time i've been aware of him as a public figure. it's also clear to me that he intends to try and preempt this by having control over whatever ai he thinks will become dominant by creating it first, or at least by funding the people that will do that (though i think he would prefer some sort of control because that's just the type of person he is) as a result i can see openai becoming successful without him being simultaneously: a big blow to his ego, a technological competitor (because he does not know the difference between a predictive LLM and, say, FSD), and also a potential threat to humanity (because he has believed this for a very long time and cannot explain how it works). of course, that's all silly and easily explicable, he's a loving moron

Another good one in the wild in response to the hiding checkmark he flinched and everybody saw it and they're doubling down its great  seems inaccurate tho, iirc the idiot who descended from technocratic russian fascists doesn't have custody or access to his kids? the only people calling him daddy are the poo poo garglers on twitter who want seen pies to notice them

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:powerwall chat reminded me of someone figuring out they were pretty easy to hack into wirelessly, and could very likely be issued a series of commands that would lead to a thermal runaway i can think of a way you might be able to do this in the commissioning phase if you were there on-site for a couple hours during strong sunlight with a large enough PV system and kept doing stuff in the commissioning interface well after you got confirmation that it was working, so i think that is probably possible if you can get into some of the backend commands and the specific system and sunlight intensity is good enough. i don't think this is a tesla-specific thing though. like odds of someone knowing you have a battery backup and finding a way to intercept a wifi signal (these can also be ethernet instead of wifi), and then hacking into it and then getting access to backend commands or whatever, absurd scenario in general that i don't think most companies would even consider, i bet it's possible to do with other battery backups of the same battery chemistry fermun fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Mar 25, 2023 |
