In many cases people will be more interested in your boat rather than a bunch of startups nobody's ever heard of.

... unless one of those startups cures a/some cancer, heart disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's or ALS or something.

If I were a billionaire, that's exclusively where I'd be putting my money, selfishly.

That’s a strange sentiment for thread on OpenAI, considering it is one of many startups founded a guy who decided to take the millions from his sale of PayPal and do cool R&D projects like spaceships, electric cars, solar power, AI, and brain-machine interfaces. Good thing Elon Musk didn’t buy a boat I guess.
