I'm sorry. I'm afraid we don't live in the society that can hear a good solution to an existential problem and think, "yes, let's spend more and work slower so that someone else can do this when we retire." Instead, the idea will, at best, be given quiet lip-service and ignored during the next 5 quarters of layoffs by which time the books will look good enough to hand the whole thing over to someone else.

[Please note, I don't think I'm the kind of person who usually walks in and shits on everyone else's fun. I just feel really strongly that as good as your ideas are, they have to be sold to a small number of people who likely don't care about the problem you are trying to solve. I think you have to add a crazy amount of economic result for the powers to take it seriously. Without their buy-in, ... well, I've got to tell the AI to hit the backlog now, there's no one below me to do it.]
