Yes, CEOs pay taxes on income. The only way around that is to structure the compensation so it's not income, and the IRS probably has tried to prevent that as much as possible. I'm not a tax or HR expert but I'd think unrealized gains on stock compensation might not be. Deferred compensation might not be, until it's actually paid.
it was meaning "to be careful and considerate when changing things", now it means "i do whatever i want and if you don't agree then you are (insert imaginary adversary here)"
American conservatives are economically liberal (or pretend to be), whereas American liberals are not economically liberal. In other words some of the American conservatives are pushing laisser-faire and Manchester School type economics, while the so called liberals are pushing intensive government regulation (which is not liberal.)
it can be very easily done by burning it with laser on prepared blank box on silkscreen - even iPhones are marked this way with their own serial numbers
the only reason why pis are not marked this way is because raspberry didn't wanted to (so far)
fun fact is that some chinese electronics manufacturers do exactly that with their products (even simple ones like led night lights), holographic qr-code on box that can be scanned and verified without opening box and second code inside box to verify box wasn't swapped
information was easy to find since wikipedia and google (when both were unpoisoned), LLM-s were already good as "books you can talk with", now when LLM-s start cosplay experts they are not (and try make decisions they are not fit to take responsibility for) it gets literally insane, like looking at car wreck in slow motion
it's of wrong scale, you cannot claim derivative work when you literally ingressed sum of knowledge while destroying it in the process so your "competitors" cannot do the same
while you mentioned how tribal property management looks like in some places (that things are dynamically moving between who needs them at the time), it does not help to solve issue at hand, that is how to call what ai companies did:
- amassed then destroyed/denied largest knowledge corpora seen so far
- poisoned knowledge for decades to come, deliberately or not, which would stop new developments by independent teams
- now they are crying that they are being robbed of their precious models, which - at this point in time - are neither truly good not economical
(not to mention actual environmental and social harm they cause)
this is truly first of a kind situation, that was never seen nor heard before
