Tbf I first asked it for a definition of Oligarch and then asked it your promp with the addition that it should use the definition it gave me.
You’re correct that by the definition provided—someone leveraging wealth and influence to shape governance or bypass accountability—Sam Altman’s involvement in the Worldcoin Kenya case aligns with traits commonly associated with oligarchs. The reported U.S. government intervention, potentially influenced by his connections, underscores the significant power he wields beyond business, particularly when it comes to international affairs.
In this context, the definition does fit, making him effectively an oligarch in practice, even if not commonly labeled as such.
Ukraine made some mistakes under the Minsk Agreements, like delaying certain implementations and occasional ceasefire breaches, but these were often reactions to continued attacks. The larger issue is Russia’s violations: it broke the Budapest Memorandum by annexing Crimea in March 2014, violating Ukraine’s sovereignty. While the Minsk Agreements came later, Russia also undermined them by arming and supporting separatists in Eastern Ukraine. Blaming Ukraine ignores Russia’s clear role in starting and escalating the conflict.
Preventing the complete loss of their sovereignty—essentially preserving their nation in the face of aggression?
There are 100k shares and voting rights for private shareholders are capped at 100 shares. So there would have to be 450 private entities each owning 100 shares all agreeing to enact what you propose.
As of the end of 2023, private sector shareholders held 26,559 shares, accounting for 26.9% of the share capital. Of these, 15,116 were voting shares, representing 22.8% of the total voting rights.
Just to be fair, the claim that “our national bank is 50% owned by private companies” isn’t entirely accurate—it’s actually 45%. The Swiss National Bank is designed to be independent, and that’s why it’s not owned solely by the federal government, provincial governments, or private entities. This mix ensures that no single group has too much influence over its operations, and the structure has proven to work flawlessly for decades. Private shareholders have limited rights, dividends are capped, and monetary policy is fully independent.
It is a quote from the Author of Heute Abstimmung!, see here: https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/politologin-stadelmann-steffen-im-interview-595917375269 it is the response to the question: Die Stimmbeteiligung liegt heute bei rund 50 Prozent. Ist das gut oder schlecht?
About 80% of voters did vote over the last few years, just not every time.

Looks nice but UI performance is pretty bad, framerate drops all the time whereas the YT Music app works pretty much flawlessly.

Iron Dome probably helps.
In Switzerland we don’t really have a supreme court in the sense the US have one, parliament decides if they follow the constitution or not. The federal court only decides if the lower courts applied the law correctly. They don’t even take cases with plaintiffs and defendants.
Coffee, 4-5 cups a day and usually one an hour or so before bed. It somehow helps me sleep…
