It is pretty obvious to people that are not in that silo.
Like that lady in France who got her store stripped.

People on investment boards should really keep their politics to themselves.

I generally agree that people on investment boards should keep their politics to themselves. But nothing in this thread actually jumped out at me as political until this post. It just seemed like a healthy debate about whether the AI build out is a good investment.

Are you referring to the back-and-forth about whether Altman and Musk are liars and conmen? I did not see anything in oddhack's original post that was overtly political. And Musk has made plenty of factual assertions in the business context that turned out to be untrue or inaccurate (e.g., "funding secured"), and which had nothing to do with politics. So, just because Musk has gotten involved in politics does not make every statement about him political. I don't know enough about Altman to say the same thing, but LongTermBRK suggests Altman has lied about many things related to business. RaplhCramden clearly disagreed with oddhack, but again, it was on the merits of what Altman and Musk are doing with their businesses.

So, like I said, I generally agree with you that people on investment boards should keep their politics to themselves. In that vein, sometimes I think we'd all be a little better off if we give each other the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions about political intent that might not be there.

P.S. I also have no idea who the "lady in France" is.
