Looking back at the responses, this is getting quite expensive:
1 billion for our static web site (we'll actually just pocket that)
1 billion for translators: that's 100 people at $100k/year for 100 years.
1 billion for libraries: $50k/library to build 100 libraries, $99.5k/year/librarian, employed for 100 years.
But we still have $997 billion left to spend out of the estimated 1 trillion dollars that have been invested in "ai"!
