Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

For the non-banned people who think this is a good take. It is not. Corps due to competing with each other keep the research private, which if it doesn't work out will lead others to do similar research (wasting that time/money again) or they will patent it which causes a slowdown in further research due to all the license payment shit. (Or worse, they go the before patents were a thing way, and keep it all a secret, wasting more time and money).
