I can't believe we are rediscovering division of labour. Some tech bros are really that far gone, huh.

And how about CDNs that we use and love? Who's to say we don't serve our customers from France?

Doesn't France also have cloud infrastructure that offers similar products like AWS S3?

Exactly. Instead of getting a confident answer that I can store insulin at 95 F, I would like to know that it goes bad at 85. That 10 degree difference determines whether you store your medicine properly or not.

It's how they finally become profitable: You burn through your token quotas so you have to buy them per request now. Oh, and also Enterprise seats are selling like bubble gum.

It's the same addiction script again and again.

That's exactly how I imagined Ancient Romans got some of their deities: They heard of some people or some group in the marketplace as the praeco heralded the daily news, and if they were not fluent enough to understand the nuance, they came to believe that there's a group of people who solves their problems "in the name of X".

Say you're Matthew Boulton in 1775 who partnered with James Watt when he started popularizing his imrpoved steam engine. Could you have predicted that in 2026 we will be discussing about him here, on the Internet, (probably) on a smartphone? Putting down a number is the wrong discussion imho.

I'd like to imagine that a factory from 1880s looked a lot different than today, with IoT and robot arms and whatnot. Intellectual work will still be needed, always will. Just think about "computers" of the Space Race era. Their whole job was to sit down with a calculator and calculate the engineering approximations for an orbit that takes a rocket to the moon. Then they installed IBM monoliths and suddenly you needed a few computer scientists only, plus mechanics for overall maintenance of the machine and utilities. And noone ever stopped teaching electronics at all. In fact, that kick-started the Moore's law era.

Exactly. Factories will be built, but you will still need workers, project engineers, and actual architects. Automation is still not there yet, despite the elaborate harnesses of frontier models.

Noone is mad here, you're fighting with shadows. Go touch some grass. If you want to do science, get accepted in a research institute instead of schooling people over your made up standards, and get me an alternative story to argue against. You are still attacking the character and assuming that you have the authority and honestly, it's rather embarrassing for you at this point.

Aah, like a young grasshopper. Just what we needed, thanks Elon.

lend-and-lease, you say?

After a day of reading AI slop, reading what's essentially an MUN-style resolution, 100% human made, is like eye candy. Thank you for sharing this.

Who told you that this is a fact? It's a story, and as far as I can see, a convincing one. If you see otherwise, you should explain yourself in terms that don't resort to ad hominem, and appeals to authority that I assume you don't have either.
