If we ever make large enough batteries to satisfy our on-demand energy whims, then I'm 100% with you. I just have doubt that we will get there soon with battery tech, and nuclear seems like a rational dropin solution until then.

This is why we need nuclear. Humanity will always find a new expensive toy to play with, AI being the latest, and expecting large corporate entities to scale down their operations for the sake of future sales is like trying to bargain with

I understand that tall trees a threat to capital and maybe also to human life when one falls over near a house, but do we really need to chop them down? Can we not add metal struts between a house and a tall tree, to reinforce its strength,

It could be a flip of a coin. Craig Venter[0] almost patented what was back then the human reference genome (based on his own genome), but thankfully publicly funded efforts prevailed to taper the profiteering. We could be in a similar situ

Ask yourself, why would large multinational corps step in to save a failing product that isn't their own, unless that product was a serious contender that threatened their bottom line.

Many of the day-to-day tasks that keeps people regularly employed are not creative tasks, but repetitive and predictable.

You have it backwards. The beloved projects were already successful without those paychecks, hence why those companies took an interest in them in the first place and didn't (at least publicly) try to create their own alternatives know

Depends if it's already been done before, in which case "just" would then have been just used quite justly.

Yeah but the people reskilled into other demanding jobs that still needed people. With AI, the demand for that skillset is diminishing as is the need for people at all. We're heading towards a Solaria situation, where the rich genuin
