Miguel Afonso Caetano"What’s your best advice for an early-career scientist?
Question everything, question the source of information that you get. Don’t believe any kind of hype that you hear from companies. Just follow all the rabbit holes. Being a scientist is really asking why and how and, Is this really true? So just have patience and ask all the questions. Don’t settle for answers that you get from the media. Question incentive structures, question where you’re getting the information from, and just don’t stop going down the rabbit holes when you’re doing experiments or asking questions.
That, to me, is like what science is about, right? You spend years and years and years still asking the same question or following a specific rabbit hole that other people are too tired to follow. And that’s really where there is no shortcut to scientific discovery or innovation. You have to struggle."

C Z Doval Santos“ WASHINGTON (AP) — As artificial intelligence companies reshape the economy and race toward trillion-dollar valuations, Sen. Bernie Sanders is proposing a sweeping transfer of wealth and power from the industry to the American public.
The legislation, shown first to The Associated Press, would create a sovereign wealth fund overseen by an independent commission and financed through a one-time 50% tax on the stock of the largest AI companies. “

Bernie Sanders unveils plan for public ownership of AI companies
Sen. Bernie Sanders is proposing a plan to give Americans ownership stakes in the country’s largest artificial intelligence companies. The legislation shown first to The Associated Press would impose a one-time 50% tax on the stock of major AI companies and place those shares into a sovereign wealth fund overseen by an independent commission. Sanders estimates the fund would be worth roughly $7 trillion and provide annual payments to Americans. While the idea of public ownership of AI companies has been backed by President Donald Trump and AI executives, Sanders' proposal goes far beyond that, with the public have decision-making power in the companies.

SpaceX's largest clent is the US government, and #SpaceX shares will be in passive index funds (incl. for #retirement)...
So in our political environment, the US gov't is incentivized to prop SpaceX up (give it work) in order to prop up the stock market, in order to prop up retirement accounts to please voters —
All while SpaceX seeks #AI pursuits in which it has so far failed AND lofty new ones for which the tech doesn't yet exist (like putting #DataCenters in space).
