I get the point but I don’t agree with the sentiment. If all we ever do is punish people for doing the right thing, they will stop doing it.
People make mistakes. If they eventually turn around and do the right thing, we should celebrate it and not point fingers for being imperfect to begin with.
Incentives are important. And we need to incentivize more of the behavior we just saw in him.
Lol, no fucking way. I just looked it up and confirmed this is true. Can’t make this shit up.
From what I’ve read, the initial strike not only killed the new leader’s father,, but also his wife and child. I’m pretty sure he will not be willing to easily negotiate with the United States after something like that.

It’s always nice to have some wars in the backlog just in case we run out. Not like we share a common planet with common resources or anything.
It’s pretty crazy to me that zuck let an actual academic like Yann LeCun go for a kid like Alex Wang. Seems like some very short term thinking.
