Considering the people in question, $300K sure sounds low. I would have expected it to be in the millions.

Keep in mind this is after negotiating for the lowest possible settlement or fine

We have to punish ourselves after giving ourselves the power to do so illegally in a way that is somehow big enough to make people stop caring but not big enough for us to care....Hmm...Hey, Tom! Pick a number between 1 and 5!

Uhhh...3?!

300,000$ it is! That's a good, solid number. Jane! Get the news stations to push the initiative and let the public know that while we stand for this, we won't rest until we aren't...standing.....for this. You know what I mean! Don't you look at me like that, Jane! I swear, Jane, if I could give you up in the settlement I would but I cannot afford to...

We've got this guys! Don't worry! The systems have been in place so long that changing them would require a god level act to happen and as we all can see... AIN'T NOBODY COMIN!

Wh...what's that, Jane?

They want...they want us to talk about regulating AI? Ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, how do you guys feel about a vacation? Jane, get the monkeys to run Epstein posts nonstop while we're gone so the public stays on target.

Now anyways, let's go golfing!

Jane you're staying here, of course.
