"Just for the people..."

I have an idea for a fun business model: raise a ton of cash, hire all the most talented engineers, hide them in a remote cave for 8 months while your company is in "stealth mode", and then ransom yourself off to Google for a tidy profit.

I read something back in the 1980s about an idea to come up with something really revolutionary. Hire a bunch of really good researchers, give them great facilities, then leave them alone. They argued that they would eventually come up with something remarkable and totally unpredictable.

The underpants gnomes were way ahead of you.

That sounds like Agnilux. What were they working on? Nobody knows; maybe nothing.
