It is explicitly that now. Bezos policy change back in 2025: "Billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is directing the paper’s opinion section to focus on “personal liberties and free markets,” he announced Wednesday, leading to editorial page editor David Shipley’s resignation."[1]

Years ago, when California had a really severe drought, I saw a large version of this to grow grass for horses. It had a stack of trays with lights, and each day, you harvested one tray, fed your horse, and replanted the tray. It was only cost-effective when grass hay was really expensive.

Yahoo was the front door of the Internet, once.

Getting stores to adopt this is unlikely, unless you get the European Union to mandate it or something like that. But using a crawler to find items for sale and an LLM to interpret the item listing might work. Then resell the processed pricing info. Publicize by using it for inflation calculations and such.

This should be marketed to hospitals, retirement homes, gyms, and such. Connect it to a remote with just channel up, channel down, volume up, and volume down.

This would definitely be useful for gyms. My gym has a tier of basic cable so low that their current programming is mostly a choice of "Walker, Texas Ranger", old episodes of "NCIS", Fox News, K-pop, or the Jewelry Channel.

Space-X and x/AI are both privately held.

But this may mess up the proposed IPO.[1]

By completing the SpaceX–xAI deal while both companies remain privately held, and now closed, Musk can effectively set relative valuations, negotiate terms within a founder‑controlled ecosystem, close, and then inform investors, without the procedural drag and disclosure obligations that attend a public‑company merger. That flexibility can reduce near‑term execution friction. It does not, however, eliminate fiduciary exposure; rather, it may defer scrutiny to the IPO phase, when investors and regulators will examine how and why the combination occurred, how it was priced, and how related‑party dynamics were managed.
