.@PalmerLuckey: "Patents are Chinese instruction manuals" and we need to reinvent the US patent system:
"Stop patenting everything."
"The Founding Fathers never predicted a world where you'd have a globalized economy, and the entire patent office could be downloaded every single morning, ripped off, and then used to fight a war against you."
" We need to really fundamentally revisit the patent system."
"I think we need to massively expand the national security patent process. You can obtain a classified patent. You can get a patent on something that you are not allowed to disclose to anyone, but you still maintain the exclusivity on those rights."
" We need to massively expand that program."

I started Oculus while I was living in a trailer working a minimum wage job. I spent years developing the technology and sold it less than 18 months after hiring my first employees. Most of the $2.3B purchase went to them on account of our shared ownership structure.
Wish all you want, but you just aren't correct on this. Individual people create billions of dollars in value all the time.
The majority of new jobs created since 1940 didn’t even exist in 1940.
There is no fixed "lump of labor". Again and again, new technologies create new jobs.

Anthropic is buying millions of rare books, scanning and destroying them because legally destruction is the safest option. This was a plot element in the Vernor Vinge novel, "The Rainbow's End", which I read 20 years ago.
The $100/$200 month plans have given people wildly unrealistic expectations about what this costs today at scale. Most still have no idea how much API spend they’d actually be lighting on fire trying to replicate that in an enterprise setting.
I have just been informed that one of the teams competing in the AI Grand Prix is using a biological computer built with cultured mouse brain cells to control their drone.
At first look, this seems against the spirit of the software-only rules. On second thought, hell yeah.

Brandon Buckingham recently had a health crisis that led to organ failure. He has a family to take care of ontop of these new medical bills. Brandon is a friend unlike any other and a true blessing, he could use a few right now if you can afford it. https://t.co/9iXHdI6omA
