    I they didn’t over promise, they wouldn’t have had mountain loads of money to burn, so they wouldn’t have advanced the technology as much.

    Tech giants can’t wait decades until the technology is ready, they want their VC money now.

      Sure, but if the tech in the end doesn’t deliver it’s all that money burnt.

      If it does deliver it’s still oligarchs deciding what tech we get.

        Yes. The ones that have power are the ones that decide. And oligarchs by definition have a lot of power.
