Yes Moonshot AI is a Chinese corp. So?

Obviously it means the product contains less democracy than required for many.

Well, a company has to grow. If it doesn't, it'll be devoured by those who do and show pleasing YoY metrics to their shareholders and prospective investors. Simply imagine you are an investor. Which company would you put your money in? And since the world is limited a company cannot afford not growing if it wants to survive. Government regulation is impossible, because there are other governments which happily let their companies to grow and outcompete foreign companies.

This is clearly an idealistic approach. A materialistic view is better explained in Fernand Braudel's "Civilization and Capitalism, 15th–18th Century".

Our model predicts that transparency reduces the individual bargaining power of workers, leading to lower average wages.

So, it's in employers' interest to make the salaries transparent, isn't it? I bet the model is incomplete.

53% of Americans think a good government should favor the freedom of its citizens over the safety of its citizens.

Again they don't bother to define what freedom is. Whereas the young people know first hand that "It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper." (c)

I've never heard of Maria (though can't say I'm an expert in poetry). That's why I decided to do some research and found this.

Hm, I had to read the lines three times, slowly, to reconstruct the image the author tried to convey. And this was the first layer. Apparently there is another one inside, but I presume this second layer resembles a Rorschach test: everybody is welcome to see what ever she/he wants to see. That's quite an achievement for those who care about pumping up readers' self-esteem. Especially if the readers see poetry as gymnastics for brain.

For those who reads Russian this is the best her verse as rated at [1].

  Утреннее солнце восходит утром –
  Столько соблазнительных вероятий!
  Что же ты, девка, ходишь по квартире,
  Тапками стуча, пятки печатая?

  Что тебе, голубка моя лебёдка?
  Поворотись-ка, сними последнее,
  В золотое зеркало полюбуйся,
  Это и то вперёд выдвигая.

  И чу! Я слышу глухое биенье.
  Тепло бокам и шея удлинилась.
  Ноги не радуют, но белым перьям
  Многие подруги позавидуют.

  Достаточно сделать движенье крылом –
  В животе ухает; паркет остался
  Далеко внизу; родные, простите,
  Пишите мне до востребования.

  – Бессмертная, навеки бессмертна я,
  Стиксу не быть для меня преградою!

it is prudent to use the following formulas: "I understand you...", "I am not surprised that you have said this...", "I predicted your concern...", "It is good that you have mentioned this...", If I were in your place, likely I would feel the same way...", "There is much that is just in what you are saying..."

...

The best way of letting him know that in fact he has asked a question is to say something like: "You have raised a very interesting question". "Your question gets right to the point." "I wasn't surprised to hear this question from you," and so on

Hm.. I hear this from my corporate superiors every now and then during All-Hands Q&A sessions. Better check their background...
