I guess to this point the argument for the valuation is just, do you think Elon will beat the (very bad) odds? I wouldn't take that bet, but I can see why some people would.

The issue is that problem one is real, but not in a way that's beneficial to other advertising products. Search, social and app store ads are over rated in that a lot of brands sho…

I mean, they're not a public company, but there are still laws that exist...

Two issues with this. - Search ad pricing is inelastic and auction based (supply goes down price goes up). - A jump in traffic to DuckDuckGo does not mean Google is experiencing a …

I think it's a very common misconception among programmers that the law is a sort of natural language 'program' where you can consistently deduce that x input generate y output.

When some countries tell them 'You need to make sure the product is safe for children', or 'you can't let people under 16 on the platform' Meta stomps their feet, says it's impossi…

Who are the experts in the field, and who decides they're experts? "More doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette".

Ok, but what about Meta and X etc.

Can't wait for Claude to submit fake tax records for me so that I can commit fraud legally.
