    We know what they want - to try and dazzle government, enterprise, and civilians with their “magic” and “dangerous if not in the right hands” technology - in order to capture all computing in the cloud and rent it back to us. They’ve already convinced the government and enterprise guys, and they’re pricing consumers out of the market.

    They will monitor and summarize your every thought, they will control all that you see and hear, and you will pay them for the privilege. Better not step out of line, or else.

    The only thing they are going to get investigated for is how much bribe money they can afford. I’m glad Cal is finally realizing this isn’t just some quirky Californians and he doesn’t need to try to stay their friend.

    100%.

    If my home rig started doing the stuff they’re doing, you bet I’d be in trouble. It ain’t fair.
