"business model" feels like a very narrow lens to view this through. This isn't weavers or telegraph operators, this is coming for all human art forms. We are potentially creating an all-seeing instant plagiarism machine that

Yes I think many posters here regularly undervalue human capability and experience compared to AI or even regular code. Probably due to motivated reasoning more than any explicit misanthropy - no one wants a stick in the mud to deride their

Clickhouse or DuckDB are databases I would look at that support this use case pretty much "out of the box" E.g. https://benchmark.clickhouse.com has some query times for a 100 million row dataset.

It looks like Arbitrary will sample integers from an uniform distribution. For property based testing you often would like to have a bias towards "interesting" values that might trigger special cases, like -1, 0 and 1. E.g. if you

I believe the Context trait is from Anyhow, not part of the base Error trait in Rust. anyhow::Error really does a good job of smoothing out the finicky bits of Rust error handling, it feels and reads a lot better than Go code to me.
