#3It will never stop being funny to me that these assholes self-righteously told government to step out of the way so that they (and by extension the rest of the Silicon Valley investor class) could show how they could build their way out of all of our social, economic, and political problems.
They even end this self-righteous screed with "There is only one way to honor their legacy and to create the future we want for our own children and grandchildren, and that’s to build."
This all sounds nice, if completely empty of all substance. And then what do these rich jerkwads actually build? AI Avatars! You can't make this up!

But when push comes to shove they are only capable of trying to make some easy money with more AI bullshit no one actually needs.

Sometimes it's genuinely hard to convince myself that A16Z's employees aren't involved in one big elaborate troll on Marc and Ben. If I paid people to be this wrong all the time, I'd be put out of business years ago.
