If it's a US based company, the NSA has all of your web traffic to the site.

If they ever get around to capturing an asteroid to mine, your hoarded gold will suddenly be worthless.

I think they meant the immigration process

Not really. For people like Musk it's not about the money, it's about loathing being held accountable in any way.

Plus, you probably don't have to liquidate assets to pay the library fine.

For the ultra wealthy it's more of a matter of pride and loss of power than the actual money. People like Musk loathe being held accountable, so even if the amount is equivalent to $7 for us, having to pay it hurts him more than it would us.

That's not even considering that his wealth is mostly in unrealized gains from non-liquid assets so he probably can't just write a check for $120m. Having to cash in stocks to pay it would actually lower his net worth more than $120m.

Based on OPs comments in the rest of the thread, they're talking about a fold@home type system, not a locally run LLM.

I don't think most medical thermometers will read that low of a temperature, because if your body temp is 24C, you're dead.

Because people still use twitter, and other people go to where people are.

But they were only allies because being allies served US interests.

Although I guess that's true of allies in general.

That's been like every administration. The US has pretty much only cared about its own interests.
