       Companies never get to grow up anymore. If they do anything worthy of real investment they get bought by the big boys. The big boys are too big.

       Buying a company that's taking off to keep from needing to compete against them is "market dysfunction"  it's anti-innovation.

       @futurebird I wonder what it would be like to live under a functional anti-trust regime

       @futurebird Remember that the easiest time to pass regulations is after a financial catastrophe. The Great Depression gave us decades of solid regulation. The AI crash is shaping up to be a similar scale. Start thinking about the regulations you want to see now. I posted my list a while ago, and there were some great suggestions in the replies.

       @futurebird Many startups don’t even bother to plan for “growing up”; they focus on an “exit strategy” of getting bought up by one of the goliaths of the industry. Even an IPO isn’t that attractive if it means eventually having to compete at a profit.
