This statement is so 90s and so BOFH-centered that it is irrelevant to a level of stupidity. Gates has done a lot to prove he's not a cold-hearted mf and compared to all the bros in their prime at the moment, dude, just think of Elon or Larry Ellison, well our man Billy is really very much a bright persona.
Rationally, you're correct. But emotionally, there's a lot of people who don't understand why someone would provide a free service without an ulterior motive. Gates talks about this a bit on the Trevor Noah podcast.

I love staring at something for two minutes and having it slowly make sense. Great explanation.
Anecdotally, this strongly mirrors my personal experience with long covid symptoms. I’m relatively young (32) but have noticed I don’t recover well in result to neurological injuries: loud noises which didn’t damage my hearing but left me with tinnitus, and a very mild concussion which has now taken the greater part of a year to stop feeling dizzy from.
What's neat is that this is a differential equation. If you kill 5% of instances each hour, the reduction in bad instances is proportional to the current number of instances.
i.e.
if bad(t) = fraction of bad instances at time t
and
bad(0) = 0
then
d(bad(t))/dt = -0.05 * bad(t) + 0.01 * (1 - bad(t))
so
bad(t) = 0.166667 - 0.166667 e^(-0.06 t)
Which looks a mighty lot like the graph of bad instances in the blog post.
AI will go the way of ASICs, just like bitcoin.
With Bitcoin I feel like it’s different, since the hashing algorithm would only ever change during a fork. This is rare in that it only ever happens every few years.
With AI, we’re constantly training different models, which can’t be trained using asics. If we ever get to the point where we no longer need to train new models, then yeah, it will go the way of bitcoin.
Learning Unity. I want to make stupid little games like I used to play on the internet in the early 00’s.

My usual burnout post; much of burnout is really chronic fatigue (ME/CFS) and much of chronic fatigue is from a genetic predisposition and a trigger. hEDS/HSD appears to be the most common genetic predisposition.
This stuff occurs in smart people more than it should, usually with some sort of anxiety disorder or ADHD. Some of the best public info on this is from Dr Jessica Eccles who examines the relationship between cognition, emotions, and the autonomic nervous system. This stuff shows up in a lot of stats, eg a huge portion of people with long Covid have some sort of hypermobility.
There are effective psychopharmacological treatments for dysautonomia which is usually the underlying mechanism.
Could you recommend some psychopharmacological treatments? I’m dealing with some flavor of this which is making my life difficult. I’m working with a neurologist, but I’m interested in your thoughts.
There are multiple dimensions

Along with many comorbidities (adhd, ocd, depression, etc) which are more likely but not requisite
This leads to the saying "if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism"
Then the spectrum would refer to the magnitude of any vector in multidimensional “autism space”.
