@sebasdarius @americanidiot86 If the Amazon strike was company-wide, and people couldn’t get their packages, you would hear the exact same things.

@americanidiot86 Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t tend to hear this about most private sector union strikes. I don’t remember liberals generally being against the SAG strike or Amazon workers trying to unionize

you people say this for literally every single strike ever. like you always support labor except for the current strike. if you can't get them to work, then they're not being paid enough! simple capitalism, get over it!

@HabCorpLinguist You’re so brave dude.

Kathy Hochul should make clear that every single LIRR employee who doesn't show up to work on Monday will be fired. They can apply for rehiring under a different contract, salaried on the same base pay, with mandatory unpaid overtime 10 hrs per week. Anything less is cowardice.

@PhillyGov @missmaree73 I loathe cop unions, but teachers and train conductors are not cops. Using cop unions to argue against public sector unions generally is a RW tactic

@burdmen441 @missmaree73 Love a good cop defending leftist.

The fact that people are still doing the "I support labor but" bit is so silly. Supporting public unions gets us nothing politically and leads to worse services! Rip the bandaid off! They are almost universally bad!

@PhillyGov @missmaree73 You people hate the working class as much as republicans.

@missmaree73 Absolutely! Cops are the worst unions out there!

@sam_d_1995 American transit is inefficient because our public sector has been systematically underfunded and dismantled over the past 50 years. Unions are the perfect scapegoat.

I am usually pro-labor but the LIRR strike is absurd they’re already the best paid agency in the country, with average total comp of over $200K, and now they’re refusing a 4% raise? This is a perfect example of why US transit is so inefficient!

@miawaukee Very funny to be saying this to a senior in college

@lionel_trolling He could do all of that if he wasn’t addicted to Twitter

the "if Hillary won, we'd be at brunch" for pretentious rightoids

@MCKid79662742 @NateSilver538 @ABC Do you have any idea how statistical odds work?

@burdmen441 @NateSilver538 @ABC Omg he was only 75-80% wrong

Honestly what a bunch of assholes @ABC

@MCKid79662742 @NateSilver538 @ABC Vividly remember him placing like 25% odds of a Trump EC win/popular vote loss. Others were saying Hillary had a >95% chance.

@MCKid79662742 @NateSilver538 @ABC Nate was literally the only person in 2016 (including Trump) who seriously thought Trump could win.

@staysaasy Having tried the word plugin for Claude vs legal tools, they have a long way to go before they’re competitive.

If Anthropic successfully nukes Harvey/Legora with Claude for legal, the only logical conclusion for vertical AI companies will be to never build on Anthropic, and for OAI to be their model company of choice with non-compete agreements. All OAI would have to do is sign contracts agreeing to not compete and they’d secure billions in revenue from B2B AI companies that don’t want to get bombed by their model provider.

@frankvcarone @brhodes You can’t libel a government.

@brhodes What “conduct” is that exactly? The lies? The fraud? The propaganda? Litigation will no doubt establish the paid for fraud at the NYTs. And it’s about time to pull back the curtain and expose this paper.

Why not be angry at the conduct instead of the reporting of the conduct?

@alex_tippett95 @DeepDishEnjoyer This is borderline unprofessional. The other section is laughable

@DeepDishEnjoyer This is pretty normal for an academic CV. There's no page restriction, you just put everything on there

one succinct observation is that nicholas decker thinks his experience is worthy of a two-page resume

@ryxcommar They need to fill their days somehow

I hate that everything requires posting on X, discoursing, making corny videos, responding indignantly to corny videos, etc can't you people just pass around term sheets in unremarkable silence.

I'm not really sure what the point of this is and it's corny as all hell but what I understand even less is why everyone with a16z in their bio is having an insane crash out over it.

@xenocryptsite No

Honest question, if you have a JD but never passed the bar, are you a "lawyer"?

@margatix @ankurnagpal It’s not hard when the SPV agreed to the transfer restrictions in the investor docs and is willfully violating them

there is some nuance depending on where / from who people bought their secondaries a lot of the original buyers bought the shares through LLCs (and then people bought / exchanged the ownership in those LLCs) what actually trades on the secondary market is often the membership interests in those llcs (and not the underlying stock itself) so on anthropic’s books nothing changes, the same llc remains the holder of record, just owned by different people now piercing a legitimately formed holding llc is a very different legal fight than voiding a direct transfer ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​and arguably much harder for anthropic to enforce

If Anthropic deems all secondary sales of Anthropic stock to be void Does that mean the original buyer retains financial interest even after selling it away? Lawsuit territory

@kimmonismus You can’t trade shares of private stock on a liquid market, so this is all made up

Nevermind, Anthropic just lost $200b pre-ipo-valuation just minutes ago what is happening

@BioTurvaMies @TFTC21 @grok Because you’re a fucking moron who doesn’t understand how private markets work

@TFTC21 hey @grok How could this possibly be legal? Thats fraud. Stock is stock. If the company has even given out stocks it cant just claim "thats not a stock anymore because you bought it from wrong place", that is 100% fraud.

Anthropic just published a support page that should terrify anyone holding its shares on the secondary market. "Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by our Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on our books and records." Void. Not restricted. Not pending review. Void. That means if you bought Anthropic shares through Forge, Hiive, or any other secondary platform without board approval, you are not a stockholder. You have no stockholder rights. Your transaction is invalid. It gets worse. Anthropic says it does not permit SPVs to hold its stock. Any transfer to an SPV is void. Investment funds claiming to offer indirect exposure are "most likely relying on mechanisms that attempt to circumvent our transfer restrictions." Forward contracts, tokenized securities, synthetic exposure products, all of it potentially worthless. Their advice to investors: "Assume that it is invalid." There is a multi-billion dollar secondary market in Anthropic shares right now. Platforms are pricing the stock at $265-$1,400+ per share based on a $380 billion valuation. Real people have put real money into these positions. And Anthropic just told them none of it counts. This is the purest possible illustration of counterparty risk. You can buy a share of a company and have the company itself declare your ownership void because you bought it through the wrong channel.

@BigBlueGoonie I remember starting this game on the tarmac waiting to take off. It got here as we were taking off. The signal went out before the kick. When it came back, the Cowboys were already in the redzone…

@TexasGolfer70 @SerLava_gaming @ettingermentum There’s nothing in that section that says that the vote must occur before the election, let alone before any votes are cast for such election.

@burdmen441 @SerLava_gaming @ettingermentum Article XII Section 1 of the Virginia Constitution.

“Checks and balances” doesn’t mean “the judiciary is allowed to do anything it wants”
