Nonsense. Everyone has values. "Make myself maximum money" is a value. "Amass maximum power over the world's information" is a value. It's clear Amodei certainly follows the latter, and I would soften the former somewhat for him; they did after all decline the Pentagon contract that would have made money but would have meant giving up some control of information.

Those aren't values. Maybe goals or motivations but not values in any conceivable way, shape or form. This site is full of pod people I swear.

Maybe it would help if you shared your private personal definition of "value", since you're clearly not using the one from the dictionary...

[Laurel1234]

Only a Yankee would need an explanation of what values are or why only caring about making money isn't one.

What a disgusting country filled with hollow degenerates. No wonder you keep voting for a senile grifting pedophile.

Look, self-loathing is all the rage, but just because you don't understand what "values" mean doesn't mean you have to insult your entire country along with you.

As for making money, you're right, it's not one of your values. It takes a special case of main character syndrome to think it's not anyone's value.

The one they ended up going “well I guess we’ll contract with them after all”, after cleverly using their sort-of-refusal to gain a ton of goodwill and new customers?

[margalabargala]

Yes, because it changed slightly, addressing their complaint. The complaint was small in scope.

Again, just because someone has values, doesn't mean they have values you think are good.
