Absolutely. Regardless of the true virtue of Andreessen's idealism, his marketing aim is functional and mostly signaling. It's about congealing the buzz and hype over AI into a pithy thesis that is moth paper to the semi-moral bigwigs of global finance.

Have you seen SoftBank?

Also NEOM original vision was a free tech utopia... AH is deeply interested in that. And the associated spend.
