It honestly just never occurred to me that such a transformation was allowed/possible. A nonprofit seems to imply something charitable, though obviously that’s not the true meaning of it. Still, it would almost seem like the company benefits from the goodwill that comes with being a nonprofit but then gets to transform that goodwill into real gains when they drop the act and cease being a nonprofit.

I don’t really understand most of this shit though, so I’m probably missing some key component that makes it make a lot more sense.

That’s really all they ever wanted, seeing how ravenously they support him

Also catching a whiff of Woody Allen 🫢

Tell you what though–he can’t hide those inhuman eyes no matter what kinda clown glasses he puts on

Here’s my proposal:

I’ve heard the claim numerous times that people leave a tremendous carbon footprint. Each person would be assigned a certain amount of “carbon credits” that their life is worth, and the value slowly declines as they get older. If they choose to, one can hop in the expiration bin and donate those remaining credits to a cause of their choice: they can give them to their children, family, or friends, donate them to a charity or research group, etc.

I can just imagine the ads where companies try to compel you to take the early-expiration route while relinquishing your credits to them “for the greater good” or some other such nonsense

Children mass-produced for the glorious stream of carbon credits it would award

Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla et al provide “expiration tanks” in convenient places that send the credits directly to them after each “donation”

Wtf i need to go back to sleep, lol

Night night lemmy ✨

Lol ok

Well how else are you gonna expose the plight of the modern American without fabricating stories and backing them up with AI-generated video?!

What bothers me is how predictable all this was when AI really started catching on. We all saw this coming from a mile away and lo and behold here it is doing exactly what we thought it would.
