They used to say the same thing about Perl and Python Downvoted. Hmmm. I’m a little tired so I don’t want to go into detail. However, I was a Perl programmer when Python was rising. So, needless to say, having a big lead doesn’t matter. P

“No one wants to sacrifice their standard of living” Has no one explained that individual sacrifice is not the solution to the problem? In 2024 why are we worried about AI using too much electricity? Because we never decarbonized the grid.
