> As a protagonist of "decent", you have it increasingly harder competing against those pushing for "acceptable".

Some people go on a bicycle because they can't afford a car. Should car makers see those people as a problem?

> The end result is more crunch and a sharp decline in software quality

If you have 10 people eating steak and 10 people starving, then giving rice to the starving people would also sharply decrease dinner quality.

AI software is not the difference between good or bad, it's the difference between something or nothing.

Contrary to what you seem to believe, cars and bicycles are different kinds of things, not two versions of the same fundamental type, so this rhetorical question doesn't make much sense (consider that also your legs provide the function of transportation but are nevertheless not a kind of car).

Please stop doing this. That is not even close to what he said.

"Some people" do that? Not a controversial statement, and pretending otherwise is to argue in bad faith.
