What did you think I meant by blowing $h!+ up? And I gather you are against strategies like China's w/r to building up their own separate tech infrastructure and going all in on renewables and nuclear so they aren't power-limited because you believe these should both be entirely free market operations?

I believe that gives countries that act like China a significant advantage over relying entirely on a bunch of antagonistic billionaire monkeys banging on their economies in the hopes of bringing the singularity somehow. Again, we can agree to disagree here. But we're also forgetting that this is how the United States made Elon Musk happen in the first place.
