Just an aside that some east coast liberals ignore. Because of DARPA we have literally every successful technological innovation in the Valley. Silicon Valley pompous, egotistical, man child billionaires mainly mine user data, advertise, and sell and improve products created by someone else. And how do they get market share? A fair percentage do due to laws and regulation loopholes making other companies unable to compete. You think publically traded or privately backed VC companies will spend billions on R&D on a moonshot or just try to maximize profits as they should. Silicon Valley today seems most interested in addicting people through cheap psychological tricks and owning/tracking/influencing every part of their lives, and then selling that information. Silicon Valley is what we in the Valley thought Wall Street was two decades ago. I would trust Wall Street, the Pentagon, and The Military before the holier than thou hypocracy prevalent everywhere in the Valley today
