Cool post. I find professions like your dad’s or DUer orangecrush’s fascinating.

Anyway I want to re-read it. (I am deleting my first response. It turned less into an appreciation of your post and more a screed on ai and grim speculations about retro aesthetics hawking corporations scraping the web for posts like yours etc).

I forgot that politics are not permitted in the Lounge. With my generally chequered past wrt rules, I am rather proud of not having any posts removed on DU at least ;-/.
