Are you saying that women who don't have prominent breasts or wear makeup aren't sexy?

It's partly that and partly a mad dash for market share in case the get it to work usefully. Although this is kind of pointless because AI isn't very sticky. There's not much to keep you from using another company's AI service. And only the early adopter nerds are figuring out how to run it on their own hardware.

Yeah that was my read of the game from my first exposure to it. "You have to buy cards sight-unseen hoping to get good ones? That's a scam."

The real “techbros” are all business people in an actual position of power, not the introverted QA tester just trying to get through the day.

If the QA tester goes home and checks his Raspberry Pi dogecoin mining rig, and is saving up for a Cybertruck, he's probably a tech bro, if only a larval one.

Why the hell would anyone think about Cyrus the Great every day, let alone fondly.

I feel like TED bears some responsibility for this kind of thing, somehow.
