You can push electrons into a capacitor if you don't connect the other side. A few of them, but more than zero.
There are electrostatic generators that work by pushing electrons on one side and pulling from the other of some insulator that moves between those two. But you can't sustain a steady state of only one of those actions.
Don't feel demotivated. AI can't replace developers now, and this current crop of them are just unable to.
The thing is, when you don't know what you are doing, vibecoding looks like it works. This is either one case of this, or it's some of the last 30 billion OpenAI raised this week at work.
Yes. It's newby-friendly, what is great for the time every 2 or 3 years that it opens in my face and there's no alternative editor installed.
Copy and paste are there too, but there's no reason to use them instead of the terminal buffer, so I can edit things in an editor I like. I just wish it made it easier to delete several lines at the same time.
Yes. A lot of people fled the German Empire, it was nearly as bad as the Nazis. But the OP's criticism applies to some people that stayed without ever getting any punishment. The people that fled were the victims.
Technology does empower or disempower those people depending on the details it has.
We are in a moment when it seems to be doing both. So those people are working very hard for their power. It's up to us to change it to only disempower them.
The overall goals of mind-controlling a computer and not aging are quite ok.
They just can't do anything good because of who they are. If those people set out to cure cancer, they will do that through a subscription service that require complete subservience.
