▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Regulatory hurdles for merging a public car company with a defense-contracted aerospace giant
- ▸Potential pushback from minority shareholders

"all got stupidly rich. At the face of it, this is a Rubicon moment in the history of the AI industry. It's the first time that The US has ostensibly regulated an AI model based on capabilities. Good intentions bite you in the ass more than evil deeds. Outside of China, there are basically no good open source models. Where are The US open source models? There's a partner here at Benchmark that says any liquidity for pre AI SaaS companies is top decile performance. Any liquidity at all. This week, it's different to any other week."
