They don't get paid commission. Since people continue to work for companies like this and are OK being paid so little, nothing will change.

I know someone who worked a weekend event to show case a product and they did extremely well going nearly 15k in sales. They made $50 for the few hours it took to generate that. The amount of effort to prepare for this, drive there, waste weekend hours working is not worth $50. Especially with how much gas is. I don't understand why people don't just say no.

Military grade is defined as the lowest quality required to be used by the military, often resulting in the cheapest product that is still suitable for military use.

Do you understand how much water and energy is used in data centers that are required to run AI? It's absolutely asinine to support them at this unsustainable rate that they're being built.
