Oops ... another misstep on the way to nowhere good and great

In pursuit of artificial general intelligence, Meta adds Broadcom boss Hock Tan to its board

Zuck needs silicon smarts – and the energy experience of a former Enron exec.

In pursuit of artificial general intelligence and silicon smarts one might reasonably argue the energy experience of a former Enron exec is the last thing that a Zuck needs.

Enron was an energy company that hid massive trading losses and falsified its revenues to inflate its stock price and conceal its debt. The company collapsed in 2001, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and triggering a wave of corporate scandals and reform.

Interoperability and interchangeability are indeed to be much prized and one cannot question nor deny the undoubted overwhelming advantage such a pleasant liaison would enjoy, however, and such is an abiding persistent threat and unpleasant increasingly expensive problem to fail to agree to amicably resolve with a novel mutually beneficial solution, if Uncle Sam is either unable or unwilling to understand and be fully prepared to consider making moves totally supportive of other allies and partners in programs specifically designed to provide massive aid to revolutionary progressive projects benefitting all, but which an entrenched and embattled and failing status quo would fear as too fundamentally disruptive to embrace and endorse ..... and probably, more accurately, also despise because of the new universal leaderships that such radical movements would then supply and driver, will such great progress still be rapidly made in these changed times of practically real virtual spaces and near instant universal communication albeit without leading US participation.

There is no doubting that for the US would be a monumentally catastrophic fail of epic proportions resulting in colossal consequences of dire unknown worth.

In a world of countless opportunities and myriad variations on a future course of action to follow, that is not one to entertain and suffer, methinks. It goes nowhere good and great with no chance of return, tremendously fast and furiously.
