I think this is application dependent. LLM's are quite good for brainstorming, even if they are not arguably creative, at least they draw from a lot of information that is already out there, which saves me time in researching and learning.

"You better be doing something in AI" applies to Startups - businesses that are expected to spend every penny as quickly as possible, to meet the metrics needed to raise the next (bigger) round of funding.

It is also not the same as, "If you want to be a profitable company...". For that you need to somehow make more money than you are spending.

So, since this is the top post on Hacker News, and the website's description is a bit too high level for me, what does Servo let me do? By "web technologies", does it mean "put a web browser inside your desktop app"?

We should repost this every week until they stop the diddling.

Silent corruption at the top causes rot at the bottom. Obvious corruption at the top causes desperation at the bottom.

That certainly is one way to do it, but I'm certain not the only one.

> 60% of people employed and 40% unemployed is the same number of working hours as 100% employed at 60% of the hours

More people = more overhead of almost every kind, from taxes, to communication.

Doubling the number of people in a team does not result in twice as much work being done.

They have more than enough money to build an off the grid data center.

Why not mandate that all data centers must be completely off the grid instead?

Absolutely. Every country's local media will try to get people to stay home and spend money locally, and not complain because elsewhere is much MUCH worse!

It also makes it easier to dehumanize people in-case of a conflict.

This is a great idea. I think you should ask people to pay a subscription for commenting. Turn it into a community supported site from the get go!
