It's the difference between wanting to do the job and wanting the power that comes from having the job

The word is "prosecute" right?

Why wait? It's a great time to tell the billionaires why they suck.

Thank you. I've been struggling to express what you said re: teamwork. I know $COWORKER can get an LLM to write a proposal, I can't do anything with useful with the writing if there was no real thinking behind it.

Right, I can't imagine being the kind of person who'd apply for a job there.
