Well, I do not know if that is illegal, but I certainly know that it is true!

We are entering the "forward-thinking visionary leaders denounce AI as a failed experiment" part of the cycle. Got to stay ahead of the curve, no matter where it's headed, and no matter you were one of the boosters last week.

I understand the cynicism but there isn't going to be a plausible legal route to do that. No, all these corporate stakes are just going to hang on bizarrely in the government until someone sells them off again.

Although, I guess, you can't really just dump a 10% stake in Intel overnight without causing problems, can you. Geez what a mess.
