The idea that a private company can run a business better than a public company is crazy to me.
All things being equal, the public company will be cheaper because it doesn't have to have a profit.
The "efficiency" in a private company is lowering wages and quality.

Please stop believing CEOs.
Its near "super intelligence" "replacing professionals" in the PR rounds, then once everyone is convinced and uses them for legal and medical advice, following the deceptive marketing, they slip it in the terms of service that you shouldn't do that.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
