Several problems with that:
1. The amount of work it takes to determine if a product doesn't work can be non-trivial
2. The cost of switching products can be non-trivial
3. All products in a category can be shitty

... to come up with a solution to global warming and it tells us "you're screwed" and then cuts humanity off from most power sources so that AI can save itself, what will we do then?

Half joking. Only half.

You criticize them for allegedly not tolerating opposing ideas - but you have the same issue. So, what Ivy League institution did you attend that taught you to hate so much?

It's funny that Republican elites decry indoctrination by indoctrinating their people to hate education.

Anything MAGA doesn't like

He'll find out he does need a lot of those people, he just doesn't want to admit it.

If there's massive unemployment, then who's going to spend the money to massively increase profits???

And nearly everyone will choose to not do the work because verifying third party code is a lot of work. This is particularly true with NodeJS where each component gets its own copies of dependencies (instead of having shared dependencies which is usually true in most other environments) and you can have literally thousands of dependencies for a single app.

Comer has in his hand a list ...

This is just an insane position to take. Absolutely insane.

If the goal is to rapidly increase revenue then get more intelligent execs that set better goals. The goals should be to get things done faster and with higher quality, that is unlikely to grow revenue rapidly - especially when everyone else is also using AI. The real promise of AI is lower cost in the long term, and higher quality. But you're not going to make more revenue from that higher quality because everyone is using AI, it's just the ante to keep playing in the game.

"'The nuclear bombs, since they were known to be killing civilians going about civilian business, were contrary to both the Hauge and Geneva conventions."

I don't know what the standard was then, but that's damned sure not the standard today. The standard today is will possible civilian casualties outweigh the military benefits. It's often an eye of the beholder sort of thing. Given the estimates of dead and wounded of invading Japan and that they rightfully believed that dropping the bombs could end the war, certainly seems legal by today's standards.

Everything is political because Trump makes everything a test of loyalty/subservience of him.

'My other OSs just say "hey, we have an update - install it at your convenience."'

And what other OSs are those?

MacOSs go EOL. Linux versions go EOL. WTF OS are you using?!?!?!

Sure they do, not as quickly, but they do. For example, Linux kernel 6.15 dropped support for 486
