Scripting languages are a subset of programming languages though.

We can go leaner. Why use a compiler when an assembler is all you need?

Exactly. That’s why I don’t enable email notifications on my phone, and I won’t see your 4am email until I roll into the office at 9:15am.

Yeah the lack of federation is a deal breaker for me. Nothing stopping it from going the way of reddit.

I think for most people, they become an asshole on the way to becoming a billionaire. You don’t make that kind of money without exploitation and plundering. The only exception I could think of would be if they inherited the money. And even so, if you inherit that kind of money and don’t give out a good chunk of it, you’re still scum imo.

Too harsh? Can you name one that isn’t?

I disagree with your assessment that the climate crisis calls for a technical or scientific solution. We already have the technology and scientific information needed to fix the problem. The reason we haven’t yet is actually for political and economic reasons. I can’t envision a scenario where AI is able to fix the broken economic system that refuses to stop plundering our planet. I can’t see AI fixing our politicians or PACs that manufacture lies and propaganda, keeping people oblivious to what’s happening.

How do you figure that AI is the answer to environmental collapse? Don’t get me wrong, copyright law is stupid, but I guess I just don’t buy into all of the AI hype to the extent that others are.
