"Few people will argue with the logic of whether it is technically accurate"

Must why people in this HN thread are throwing out so many ad-hominems instead.

I mean, that's assuming we're aligned on goals. I don't know that Altman et al. care much about digital sovereignty. I don't think it's ad hominem to debate the validity of someone's ethics or motivations.

Besides, some things are done for reasons other than economic efficiency. It would be more efficient for people to relinquish their apartments to some company that will ensure near 100% occupancy while you aren't home. Yet you would be hard pressed to find a single human being who would rather share their space like this than own and manage their own condo (apart from those who get scammed by timeshares).

Humans simply don't work like that.

I would like to know how “efficient” Altman's $27 million mansion is.
