This comment should be higher.. this is literally the only reason these tech bros keep pumping out this PR.. 'look how powerful our "AI" is, it could literally take down the internet..!' And at the same time they keep pushing their IPO back, cause they know well enough that they're just bleeding cash and their bubble is about to burst.
