I do always find it funny that billionaires finally finally get on board with the "labor is what makes something valuable" idea when comparing abstract art and other art.

You could still spend 1,000 hours painting a blue dot on a white canvas if you used a tiny paintbrush.

The pareto frontier of possible artworks approaches higher quality with increased labor input. This doesn't mean the Labor Theory of Value isn't totally bonkers.

Hackers did have things in common with painters after all, or at least the ones that self promote have that in common.
