"We knew we were asking for unusual things," says Newell, "and Oceanco embraced it with open arms."

This is that research vessel he talked about a while back.

Leviathan has also been designed with scientific work in mind: Newell’s interests now include Starfish Neuroscience, a company focused on neural interfaces (popularly known as “brain chips”), and Inkfish, a marine research operation. Part of this is a “convention-defying layout” that apparently brings teams together, which makes me think about all the times I’ve read about desks with wheels at Valve.

Unlike his other yachts, this one actually has a purpose.

It’s still a luxury yacht decked out with nearly all the things you’d expect from a half a billion dollar superyacht. Only part of it is customised for research. If the main goal was to turn half a billion dollars into a research boat, this isn’t the boat that would get made.

Alternatively, it’s a luxury yacht for small teams of passionate scientists to keep them happy and comfortable for long periods, and also a floating town for Gabe to live in

Also, if you want to criticize it there’s one implication that worries me… Part of the concept is that this yacht will be a floating lab that can pick up and move to avoid regulations

International Waters: No Laws. No Ethics.

Oh man. We all think Musk, who is outwardly evil, is making NueroLink to control people but he’s such a goober that shit’s never gonna work. Gabe on the other hand…

I do think Gabe has good intentions at least… But… Well… I’ve never played resident evil, but I’ve read plenty of cautionary sci-fi tales

Actually a few of the current ones and the purchase of the yacht facility a few years ago have all been to support inkfish.

But when Gates donates to his random pet projects we rage right?
