It is dead.

The only reason it seems like it's not is because AMD server CPUs are just getting physically larger and larger

The problem is I have one somewhere so I don't want to buy I new one but I also don't want to find the one I own

If the bureaucracy could easily identify the dead weight projects it wouldn't need the layoffs but that also means it can't make good choices when doing layoffs.

It's like chemotherapy.

That isn't how it works for publicly traded companies. There is no such thing as enough only more

Just start with trying to avoid Nestle, PG and Unilever. If you can master that anything else is easy.

It's fine. Eventually when people start using this crap en masse the people on the other end will just be using LLMs to distill the bullshit down to 3 key points anyway.

There is an argument to be made that he is promoting that stuff and in doing so spawning a litany of less scrupulous copy cats.

I'm not sure he is the egg of that particular variety of content.

I mean that is true but there is some nuance.

At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.

They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn't worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.

The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.
