Classic HN comment. Fundamentally misunderstands complexity theory, and considers the objective function of scientific progress to be the obtainment of VC cash.

  Well, you could buy a bunch of scientific progress by transferring some money from the rich to the smart.

    Until the merely clever discover that among the rich number many who are not anywhere near smart. Then everybody gets cagey and butthurt after the clever get rich. Science plods along, budgets mostly unchanged.

  I interpreted it as a tongue in cheek "we've discovered [thing] give us money" the some VC funds seem more than happy to throw money at
