Thank you for this feedback. The first part of what I said was right and backed up by facts. For the second part, I heard it on a podcast but couldn't find proof, so I removed that part - about government funded data centers. Your focu

Yes, but the real question is: Why are they able to do that? I understand we're debating nuances here, but my concern is about the overall impression the title gives. It positions DeepSeek as some kind of higher ideal, yet the article

It’s commendable what DeepSeek is doing by open sourcing and showing the chain of thought. This title is misleading though - where it tries to state that DeepSeek only focuses on research and not revenue. 1. DeepSeek is reported to be profi

I agree with your point about the Musk case. I believe it will be litigated again. Regardless of the corporation's domicile or either of our opinions on that issue, there is ambiguity and a scale factor that will likely result in furth

Meta seems to be doing well with Zuck, as does Dropbox with Drew. I like the freedom to, but not the requirement to, invest in public founder led companies. Thinking back to 2022 - the market was ready to throw Meta out with the bath water.

It’s not about stripping shareholder rights—it’s about understanding what you’re buying. In the Moelis case, it was clear from the start that the company was founder-controlled. No one was misled. Investors had full transparency and chose t
