Calculator was once a job title that paid full time salaries… so a computer that could do the job of multiple people in half the time probably seemed like a freaking steal at the low price of $5,995 đŸ˜†

Nasa used to be run by actual Mentants
Love the term mentant.
We may just see the rise of mentants if we get through this AI phase!!
True. I had forgotten about the wartime efforts of human calculators!!
That's scary that 6k (equivalent of let's say 30k today) would be a steal. I guess we will see the Tesla robots at 40-50k each as a steal also. No arguments, just upload code, output and recharge. Hell I'm sure health insurance, super annuation and on costs in some places would runthatt amount!!
