This isn’t me being jaded. This is me saying “whole ass Excel spreadsheets” is an extremely low bar. Especially when almost two trillion dollars was pissed away getting it here. Imagine if someone had pumped that money into literally anything else.

Yeah, so far when someone shows me a concrete example of this amazingly complicated thing that GenAI helped then realize, I think “really… that’s it?”
It’s a decent reminder that a lot of people have more modest needs and a lot of the enthusiasm can come from that, and maybe that’s more understandable.
