He kind of did. He used leverage to place bets on the market.

Leverage scales in a way, because larger pools of money (corporations, groups of investors) mean larger bets.

But leverage also doesn't scale, because larger pools of money tend to make smaller bets over a larger surface of the market, since being wrong in a big way with leverage can wipe you out.

In the problem is the solution. Open source maintainers start writing AGENTS.md and other files to guide those using LLMs, and future nerd sniping and elitism can be practiced in reference to the spec instead of the actual code. There can just be an agent template for maintaining or adding features to curl or projects like it.

If you can handle Linux, you should try Reaper as a DAW. It's really great.

Maybe, but they also have bets placed that hydrogen fuel cells are the future, which doesn't seem very realistic either. Unrealistic in a different direction.

I've definitely seen this in the chat interface. It loses entire methods and segments of source, and it absolutely crawls during generation. To the point where I just tell it to give me the changes and where to put them.
