>> $20B in defense VC

"defense VC budget" seems like a generous way of saying "USA attack budget". Not everyone wants to deal with moral implications of building automation for that.

Chris might have good reasons to avoid defense. But Blank's point is that he didn't even know the opportunity existed. The issue is not really about a moral choice, more generally it's a situational awareness problem.

		>> But Blank's point is that he didn't even know the opportunity existed His point is that, true. However, it relies on a big assumption. Blank confidently says that opportunities were missed, and he knows they were missed only because they weren't taken. My counterargument was "Chris could have chosen not to get involved. It's not necessary a lack of awareness on his part"
