    $7trillion is three times the GDP if Brazil. It is bigger then the US federal budget. Seriously it is insane.

      A-and all that money is basically scammed out of hype over something that won’t be the thing people think it will be, because that would be a magic wand for everything.

      When they mean artificial intelligence, they mean some kind of self-designing civilization, except it does their bidding. Goethe’s Zauberlehrling comes to mind.

      And a lot of money does find a way to do things, just like a lot of effort applied does find a way to break something. Except the curves are not linear, and no amount of effort and money has allowed us to settle Mars yet.

      This guy is an absolute lunatic.

      “Gimme all of the world’s money several times over for this fancy T9 that I’m playing with.”

      If someone wrote a cartoon villain using his quotes, it would be dismissed as unbelievable and rubbish.
