The post WW2 boom in America was an exceptional time. This is the status quo for humanity.

So you think he's not dimwitted? And instead of making an argument you just insulted the OP needlessly?

Let me guess is your argument: "He built a trillion dollar company and you didn't"

Because we don’t want to be left behind as members of the permanent underclass. Unless you own the god machine or work on improving it you don’t matter.

Possibly unlimited so long as the hot and cool people are on the platform.

Kind of a stretch, these days can't imagine anyone that views instagram as a place to store their cherished photos also.

I "bought" a few digital kids movies because kids want to watch them over and over and I didn't want to deal with handling physical media.

Ten years ago maybe this causes outrage, but I'm not sure anyone cares in 2026 including potential customers.

Agreed that's the only way this makes any sense.

So they "draft" their own workers to create toy examples to train/evaluate LLAMA performance? Is this a temporary role/rotation? That seems goofy.
