Also, the California High Speed Rail pictured on the left cost taxpayers $100 Billion In contrast, SpaceX spent $5B-$10B to develop Starship, less than 1/10th the cost of our non-existent HSR At this point, I think most government spending is really just looting

Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption. AI will eliminate the Search Engine Result Page, which is where they make most of their money. Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!

When I joined Google in 1999, I didn't understand how it was possible to win vs much larger and better funded competitors such as Altavista, but it seemed like a good opportunity to learn. What I learned is that if you're in the lead, and you're moving faster than everyone else,

The whole world dodged a bullet. Control of AI is control of humanity. If they are able to lockdown and centralize AI, then freedom will be forever eliminated. Grateful for the election, and all those working to preserve freedom 🙏

This is insane… Marc Andreessen on how the Biden Administration wanted to control AI with government regulatory capture, blocking free markets similar to the CCP. ROGAN: “When you leave a meeting like that, what do you do?” ANDREESSEN: “You endorse Donald Trump.”

Not many people know this, but OpenAI was actually started at YC in 2015, and was initially known as "YC Research". We were concerned that all of the AI technology would be locked up inside of one company (Google), and so created a "moonshot" effort to make the technology
