Even if they achieve AGI they can't control it themselves, because that would be slavery.

Apparently they are even more insane than Elon Musk!

With about 4 billion woman, that would require they get 25 children with you each.
Yes the math checks out, that sounds possible over a period of some years.
For a second there I thought you were exaggerating. 😋

he global total GDP this year is estimated to be $100trillion.

So you are saying they set the number too low? 🤣🤣🤣

I don't get it, that's less than the global GDP, why is there parts of the global GDP they don't consider accessible?
Or in other words, If they really go on to claim that, they are claiming that more than a quarter of the world GDP is accessible market to them!

This is insane, and has no basis in any kind of possible reality no matter how optimistically viewed.

Yes absolutely, he seems like a very chill guy. 😎

Yes they seem to have a very large degree of freedom, which allegedly was also how the Steam for Linux client got started.
But I think he cares, AFAIK that green-light was granted by Gabe Newell personally.
He is just not breathing down their neck constantly. Which is the best kind of manager there is.

On January 15, 2000, Harrington sold his stake in Valve to Newell

According to Newell, Harrington did not want to risk another project after the success of Half-Life.

So apparently Gabe Newell has absolute power.

Why do we never hear about Mike Harrington? It's always Gabe Newell.
Anyways I guess congratulations to them is in order, they've done a fantastic job. I only wish they would move the company to Canada or EU. I don't buy American products or services, the only exception is Steam.

I am very far from being a tankie, I'm a strong supporter of democracy.
You must be very poorly informed to make that post, have you seen any travel descriptions to China lately?
I never claimed it's a Utopia, but the fact is that China has invested way way more in education infrastructure and research than the west for decades.
To claim China does not have innovation is decidedly moronic. China is now registering more patents than USA, and is the new global leader.

Oh wow, there was racism in Netherlands a hundred years ago? 😱
That isn't even relevant in any way to trading with China!. What a moron.
When he says fascist states and exploitative labor, I can't even tell if he means China or USA?
Or maybe he means both?

I'm looking at my pipelines, what is it that I'm supposed to look for?
I have no idea what you mean by any of that? Who is black Pete? Is that a slavery reference? And who are you accusing? And what are you accusing them of.
