allisonwhat if instead of investing $500 billion in GPUs and data centers, we'd invested $500 billion in like... HyperCard
ridiculous premise, obviously. because if computers were extensible, efficient, easy-to-use machines that people can use to make things and solve problems, people wouldn't need to buy new devices every year to keep up with the system requirements of their software subscriptions
brennen@aparrish these days the web's conceptual lineage from hypercard does feel like one of recent history's crueler jokes.
