Technically, voting with your wallet is a political statement, which you are sending to Boeing management and shareholders to make the world a tiny bit less profit-at-all-cost-driven.

It is interesting that people automatically equate "political" with party or country politics, which gives it a bad rep. When in fact it is a healthy thing if more people were to think and act like you and stand for their principles on issues however minor-sounding.

Do you have an estimate for typical token usage for a developer who'd use it as part of their workflow? I'd imagine the costs can rack up fairly quickly if you're not careful.

You are quoting someone from a financial career interview forum who can't imagine why a bright person would want to pursue a lesser paid career in research.

Well, even if I try to embrace your argument — life itself is an iterated version of a more general decision game. It doesn't have to be Monty Hall specifically.

Over the course of your life, if whenever you have a choice to make you choose the lower probability strategy (here with the Monty Hall example it's not even an expected-value vs. variance tradeoff, switching is just all-around more optimal) you will most definitely end up worse off in the end.
