    There is opportunity cost of Microsoft et al investing billions in AI instead of doing anything else. That money could have been spent on renewable energy research, improving efficiency of existing hardware, supporting work from home to reduce commuting, whatever. Those opportunities are lost because they went with AI instead.

    I didn’t mean my opportunity cost from the toilet.

    AI is a poor use of limited resources and opportunity.

      I did, that’s literally what I’ve been talking about this whole time. I’m asking you to stop wasting yours and my time.
