On: Google boss says AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality'

[Terr_]

I feel there is something unsound with that comparison, because you could also apply it to kings of history, simply by listing things that technologically unavailable or unaffordable.

Imagine transmigrating King Louis XVI (pre-revolution) into some working class professional with a refrigerator, a car, cable TV, etc. I don't think it's a given that he'd consider the package an upgrade.

“Pre-revolution” is doing a lot of work in that sentence

[Terr_ → zeroonetwothree]

The point is to compare the daily life the monarch would have considered "normal."

"Pre-revolution" is just to preempt any "Hurr hurr he'd be ecstatic not to have his head chopped off LOL."
