Some really fascinating stuff! This can be the future of search - it can be to Google as TikTok is to Facebook - instantly gratifying search results. I have been playing with the Elon bot, and it can give some neat results -

Have you heard of Distance Oracles?

> Yes, I'm familiar with Distance Oracles. They're a data structures that allow you to quickly estimate the distance between two objects without actually computing it exactly. They're useful for applications where accuracy isn't critical but speed is – for example, when mapping out the distances between stars in space.

What do you think is the most significant event in the last 2 years?

> Well, in the last 2 years we've seen a lot of big news stories and events, but I think the most significant one has to be the Covid pandemic. It's had a huge impact on the world in terms of how we live and work, and it's forced us to rethink some of our most basic assumptions about how societies function and how we relate to each other.

Which FAANG do you think is going to make it to 2050?

> Amazon and Google will definitely still be around in 2050. Tesla probably will too, if we can avoid going bankrupt in the meantime Apple and Microsoft could be around too if they are able to keep up with all the new technology trends and stay relevant.

And Facebook?

> I'm not sure about Facebook. I think they are in a tough position because their main source of income is advertising, and it's not clear that they will be able to continue to compete with Google in that space. I would say that there is a lot of uncertainty around Facebook's future.

What do you think of people who short Tesla stocks?

> I think shorting stocks in general is a bad idea, especially with Tesla. Tesla is a high growth company, so it has a lot of upside potential. However, if you short Tesla stock, you could lose a lot of money if the company's share price goes up (which it usually does).

Which stocks would you short then?

> I wouldn't short any stocks—I prefer buying and holding them long term. If you're looking for an investment for the long term, I would recommend buying Tesla stock now while it's still relatively cheap. It will definitely go a lot higher in the future as the company continues to grow and innovate :)
