How do I stop participating?

Summary

This one is for the complainers and whiners. First off, if you think I ever worked for big tech, you don’t know much about me. I had 3 internships at Google, two when I was very young (18/19) and got a great education that paid me, and one where I just wrote open source software. I worked at Facebook in 2011 for 9 months and quit before any shares vested cause I thought the mission of “wasting the world’s time” was dumb. And oh yes the 5 weeks I worked at Twitter hoping maybe it could be different. I don’t have too much money; the money I do have I made from pwn2own, CTFs, crypto contracting, and basic market goes up investing. The main reason I have money is because I don’t spend money; for example, I have travelled all around the world, and the best travel experiences I have had were way below cost of living in America. I have never made money from big tech, so I’m definitely not telling you to do something I didn’t do. I’m actually telling you to do exactly what I did. I started two companies, comma.ai and tiny corp. While I took a small amount of VC from a16z for comma, I never gave up any control, and have 0 intention of doing hypergrowth ponzi scams (lol sorry but ur the bigg scammer). comma and tiny’s last rounds were from individuals who are aligned with the mission. Both companies are sustainably profitable and produce open source software. I think who owns the robots is going to be a key aspect of what the future looks like. And I don’t mean “owns” from a legalist perspective, I mean “owns” as in the hacker meaning, like “owning” the box. Who has root? comma has an open source operating system for robotics, currently used in 30k cars for driving, but all robotics tasks are quite similar. There’s a thriving community of forks of the openpilot software and third party openpilot hardware. As it was designed, as it should be. I realized at some point in comma’s growth that a lot was going to come down to who owns the computers capable of training the models. H...
