This is what I expect. Theyre Not hiring even engineers. By the time they have a strategy, plan, hire, and act on that plan they will be behind the curve, and force to use the $ to acquire someone who did.

#36Could somebody explain why there is so much negativity towards Thinking Machines in this thread?
