People keep saying "If we do a wealth tax, rich people will leave the country"
And I'm like "Naybe, if we get lucky. But let's try it first and see how we go."

Just take some time to understand that a lot of the "magic" and "creativity" of chatbots is basically hardcoded. Thousands of humans wrote it.
The AI hype is basically ELIZA 2.0 powered by a nuclear plant.

Open Source hot take: A software project is allowed to be *done*. Not everything needs to add features or rewrite things. You can just be happy with functionality and focus on just maintainance. "Maintenance mode" is not always bad but can just show a mature product.

When you consider that the U.S. is $40 trillion in debt, ask yourself what we have to show for all that. Consider that $40 trillion would build the ENTIRE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM, 58 TIMES.
We just gave it all to war profiteers and the rich. We could, you know…. take it back.
