Cool.

However, the OP was incorrect, it's 2x the AAPL market cap.

> or 2300x AAPL market cap

It's only 2x the AAPL market cap.

Paul's wife has a huge financial stake in OpenAI, so I suspect massive success there has softened his opinion.

When I see "almost" I would think of the exception being like, "Estonia", or "Albania", not.... Germany. It's a big place.

Ah fair as a general risk. Not sure I'd call it social media though.

Google is actually fairly safe due to their utter inability to build a successful social media platform.

I asked you for the 3 most recent examples you could think of, and your recent examples were decades old.

You have now linked me to a paper discussing privatization happening in the 1980s and 1990s.

If you want to make the argument that this happens frequently in the west, you need to find examples actually happening this decade. I don't feel like this should be controversial.

- 2019

- 2010s? Hard to tell what you are referencing

- Not a real example (subcontracting is not the same as selling off state properties).

So yes, 2-3 examples from the UK over the past 2 decades is not really compelling.

Can you name off the top of your head the last 3 significant privatizations?

> In the west, we call that "privatization", and it happens pretty frequently

That's not even slightly true? It's headline news and massively controversial every time this happens.

GitHub changed the default to "main" so 95% of new projects will default there.

This is meaningless if it's not a count of paid GPT-4 users.

That's a pretty simplistic view re: Turkey.

Turkey did become irrelevant after WWI, but is far more of a power today than it was 30 years ago, and given the relative dysfunction of the neighborhood, it's only going to get stronger.

Other autos all route physical buttons through the car's OS now. Nothing is actually directly wired to the corresponding actuators anymore. The buttons are mechanical but are basically equivalent to a touchscreen in terms of control.
