There's also the moral factor, but I've definitely considered switching in the past should money ever be a problem for me.

I've been working in Java for more than 20 years now, the last 10 with unperformant, yet performance critical enterprise slop. I can only really say one thing here: they are really late to the party with this but it's good. The pe

Secondary effects can also make this a good investment decision: if you have enough other delusional people to buy into it, you still gain from it, even if you believe it's bullshit.

considering how unsustainable this whole AI Business is and how much it ruins everything, I can't wait for the crash. Why did we listen to the Worldcoin guy again?

I mean, even the debate still goes down that path on both sides. What even.

While the observations are measurable correct, are we not antropomorphosising a bit too much here?

I would pay for it - I meant this in the context that people here are getting paid to destroy value. Also don't get the downvotes, improving soil efficiently in large quantities is an interesting question a lot of tech people (being ci
