Making desperate “efforts” to force the work I am doing now upon the public would be pretty useless - as I am concentrating on getting on.

This was a cool listen. I think Cloud+AI is increasingly making the @levelsio -style model of a scrappy solo serial micro-entrepreneur viable, allowing one person to spin up and run a number of companies that generate income, possibly well into billion-dollar valuations.
I have been dragged into two court cases where the FTC sued Meta over acquiring tiny VR companies, but I didn’t realize the breadth of the issue — big tech has significantly ramped down acquisitions across the board, which is bad for startups.
Founders have been pushed away from IPOs for a long time, and now acquisition exits are being curtailed.
The ideological position is that the FTC wants startups to stay independent and compete with the existing big tech companies, but an awful lot of tech dynamism is due to half-decade pushes that end in acquisitions.
@ID_AA_Carmack I've been quite torn on this recently. I mentioned in a recent talk that I wished for tech to look like "a thriving coral reef" ecosystem but sometimes it feels more like mostly plankton, a few clown fish, two tunas, and 5 killer whales circling above.
