It is controversial if you are a free market supremacist like myself and believe that the market should be setting any and all prices. Removing market inefficiencies is what capitalism is all about and preventing the trading of pre-IPO shares seems like a very glaring inefficiency for setting the actual price of Linear.

I am. I am 100% on board with accelerating all scientific trends and achieving full scale utilization of all solar radiation at every scale of conceivable reality, current and future. The goal is to achieve godhood and I can get it done for a mere $80B with a patented and trademarked architecture called "panoptic computronium cathedral"™.

100%. It beats any and all forms of socialism. This is why Americans are extremely rich and better off than everyone else in the world. Just look at American weapons. It's state of the art and soon to be controlled by AI and autonomous software.

Most planes actually fly themselves already so fighter jets just need to use AI designed for destroying enemy fighter jets and tanks with the help of transponders for identifying friendly robots and weapon systems.

Tesseract can run locally and you can also use other open source OCR models which use neural networks. I am pretty sure it is possible to fine-tune open source LLMs on images and get reasonable results.

Because it is easier to reason about languages with formal syntax and semantics. Most languages used in industry are a hodge podge of syntax and semantics with so many edge cases that even seasoned programmers will often end up writing bugs which take them days to track down.
