These "10x developer" discussions are sort of meaningless unless it's discussing a comparison to a hypothetical typical professional software developer.
I've had some coworkers who appeared to have negative value. You were infinitely more productive then them before you could code. Doing nothing was superior.

It's hard to say something is "not political", but some older science fiction was genuinely fiction about science or engineering itself. The humans can be side characters in your story about a cool space ship and interstellar travel.
Science fiction evolved over the decades away from that. People realized you may as well have a decent story and discuss society in your future setting.
A lot of older sci fi is quite political, with distinct political messaging, we just did not seen it. Either because we were young or because it was "our" politics and thus invisible.
I cant think of any old scifi book where humans or aliens are just side characters and ship or travel themselves are main character. One that is not about people (but I count aliens like people) at all.
It's fairly likely they'll change the rules to reduce injuries. In the US, they already banned kids under 10 from deliberately heading, with some practice rules after that.
And ultimately, changing the rules is sort of like a ban. You can't (competitively) play the original sport.
Presumably, that was a response to other storefronts/launchers appearing, which means the competition did force them to change behavior. Companies don't give up revenue without cause.
NGL, I do think that was kinda backwards of Steam. I get why they did it they way they did (incentivise big games to come to Steam), but it does kinda shaft the Indies, which need that money the most.
Then you might be incentivized to deliberately go into debt strategically, and remove the sitting opposition if you think you'll lose the next election.
I was going to echo the same. I'm less bothered by the hype than the vagueness of it all. Use AI, management doesn't know what for, figure it out. Also, prove productivity gains somehow, we're not sure how to do that, figure that out as well. Figure out AI security too, we saw a scary article about that.
There's no obvious reason to reward people for failing. If it's necessary for the economy to not collapse, nationalize it, either wiping the shareholders out or paying the current (presumably low) price, and sell it later.
The call to protest at some specific location and time might be "artificial", but people have to want to protest. Trump has simply managed to inspire millions to do so.
