I was thinking human speed

One can read very quickly, but writing takes a long time.

And speech is rather annoying because I read faster than people speak. But the worst thing is when people start writing on the blackboard during a lecture because then you have to watch them write slowly.

I am curious about that, too

Here was a PoC: https://jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up-2026.html

>Investing in AI infrastructure seems very risky to me. With how short of a lifecycle computing hardware generally has, does it make sense to blow billions on hardware that will need to be replaced in a few years?

25 million is not billions, but that could still be a higher budget than any other public institution agency in the entire state here has
