I like your optimism, fairly unrealistic but the optimism is nice to see

On this point, it would be stupidly hard.

Just from a programming and software perspective. All the old code that runs banks and the back end of air travel. It barely runs as it is, do a switch up of years, even leaving the months alone and it would probably freak out. Standadize the months while you are at it and the whole thing falls apart.

Are you old enough to remember Y2K? That required a lot of techs to spend a huge amount of time fixing code that was never intended to see years change from 19xx to now just even consider 20xx.

That is before we go about changing paper Birth Documents, marriage documents, house deads, ..... Should I go on?

Many factors play into it rather than just low self control, in case you're wondering why you got down voted.

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

Maybe it is an Australian thing?

In 2009 the school I went to got aircon

I have lived in very few houses that have had aircon, if they did it was evaporative and near useless. The house I am currently in is getting aircon installed next week.

It might be hot in Australia, but mainly we just built houses with insolation and fly screens.

I feel like aircon wasn't as common back then, especially strong enough to cool all of that

Couldn't that describe 95% of what LLMs?

It is a really good auto complete at the end of the day, just some times the auto complete gets it wrong

Socialise cost and privatise profits.

Been the play for awhile now.

Omg I missed that. Nice spot
