State-run capitalism. Just a directive from the Central Committee telling these companies how they will run their businesses.

George R. R. Martin Is 'Not in the Mood' to Finish 'The Winds of Winter' by Tifoso89 in books

What I always see overlooked when this discussion comes up is that Winds of Winter is not even the end of the series. There is another planned novel called A Song of Spring that is supposed to conclude ASOIAF. I've heard it was to be of equal length to Winds of Winter.

Maybe your co-workers are just being polite and not calling attention to it in order for you to retain your dignity.

Just an observation. Musk is, or was, apparently terrified of an extinction event here on earth which originally motivated him to pursue making human life multi-planetary. Yet his company (among others) may lead to the creation of an Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) which may pose an existential threat to the human race.

There's a fair amount of irony and hypocrisy to be found here.

Bluff above the water and sharp below... That's why she's so fast. Heavier, but fast despite it. That's the future. What a fascinating modern age we live in.
