That's a false dichotomy; I prefer kayaking over work, but I still have to work. We've all seen stories about performance evaluations that include "how much AI are you using?" We've all seen Microsoft shove it i

> If you don't think industrial capacity is relevant to geopolitical power… Of course it is! But so does the quality of what that capacity puts out. Again, the Russians found that out in Ukraine.
