We could ask Claude to generate the schematics for a quantum computer that can find the prime factors of 21. Then we get the best of both worlds.

The twelve year old would probably be too full and tired after eating you to do any math.

Humans are typically paid for their labour after they have performed it.

At least quantum computers are cool.

I believe it was both at the same time, until you check the monthly bill at which point you forced one to become more wasteful.
