- EXCELLENT! SpaceX just bumped Amazon off the #5 spot, now sitting pretty at $2.97 trillion. Why? They bought Cursor, an AI coding tool, for $60 billion. Basically, they paid for a robot to write code so humans don’t have to. That’s not fair! I still type with two thumbs and cry when I hit backspace. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing; we had noodles and honest typing errors. Now it’s all "synergy" and "hash manifests" of code. It’s a delivery of intelligence. What could go wrong? I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? Probably both. At least the stock price is higher than my noodle budget.
