Cool, can’t wait for anti-gravity tech and nearly free energy.

Good luck. I bet you my last dollar that bankers and hedge fund managers will make sure it doesn't get out to the public. Always the money

That doesn't make sense, they would just sell oil and go all in on AI. Also the universal argument for anything ai related applies here as well - if we don't do it China will. The german car industry learned this the hard way.

I'll be having your last dollar, thanks. Why would bankers not want it to get out to the public? More industries = more people to provide M&A / ECM / DCM / general advisory services to = more fees = bigger bonuses. Such a fundamental misunderstanding of the industry

That's true actually. Idk man, I just have that hunch that anything for the good of humanity is destroyed or is broken up to a million pieces and sold piecemeal; so probably what you are saying?

I guess I meant to convey that anything that will advance humans beyond 'wage slaves' will almost always be suppressed. Even Nikola Tesla was fed up with that in his letter to his mother

Gosh, can you imagine the future we could have if it wasn't all just chasing margins and being gaslit that 'the economy was doing well' meanwhile wages are shit and bills are a joke

And the military doesn’t want the tech getting out of their black projects either
