      I find it lovely that he’s racked by guilt over his legacy and tries to do something about it.

        Racked by guilt? His company is helping commit genocide by providing AI tools to automatically designate civilians as targets for military strikes.

        I’d rather he keeps his money and uses his influence to stop that. He chooses not to do so every day.

          I don’t think he has that influence any more.

          And yeah, genocide would be one of the reasons to feel guilty, but it’s far from the only one.

            why do you think one of the richest man doesn’t have “that” influence at a company he founded anymore?
