Many successful and failed revolutions happened without an economic crisis. For example, the American Revolution was led by an oligarchical class upset about taxation. The American Civil War is another example where a portion of states felt economically threatened and initiated conflict. The Glorious Revolution was almost completely ideological in nature, revolving around royalty and religion. It simply requires some powerful fraction of the country to believe they'd be better off under another ruling party, no one needs to starve for it to happen.
People who are experiencing unrest and idleness are easy to recruit -- and if you hang out with people ages of 18-30, you'll see there's no shortage of them.
It's baffling to me. I was already making API calls and embedding context and various instructions precisely using backticks with "md". Is this really all this is? What am I missing?

This could be the kind of thing easy to train and run locally on a GPU.
- You only need code relevant to your language.
- The amount of unique code in your language is going to be relatively small in compared to say, the entire history of internet comment.
- Training a model also shouldn't take long.
I personally would never use an online version feeding all my code back to a home server somewhere, and leaving breadcrumbs that might suggest I'm violating the GPL.
