    Yes. Elon has a massive controlling share in SpaceX, complete control over the board. SpaceX will be double the size of Tesla after a successful IPO, then they can swallow it and t…

    Repeating 2008, where nobody had a good sense of who actually owed what where. This is how Martin Casado can say this isn't like dot-com, because "there isn't as much debt". It's t…

    It’s better for them if you don’t know how long you’ve been talking to the LLM. Timestamps can remind you that it’s been 5 hours: without it you’ll think less about timing and just…

    You’re right – the way I phrased it assumes “having a plan” is a possibility for him. It isn’t. The best he was ever going to do was get talent in the room, make a Thinking Machine…
