I would like to see a comparison where someone performs the same physics 3D simulation with a dataset larger than 192GB with a maxed out 2023 Mac Pro vs a maxed out 2019. Based on past experience I would expect the 2023 to crash once the memory usage gets close to the max.

MacOS is pretty good at handling swap. I've been working on a 3D animation recently that needs ~ 70GB RAM when rendering, will render on the CPU without issue on a MacBook Air with 24GB RAM. If your software is making use of GPU compute though, that may need to all be in RAM and not swap, GPU rendering does cause a crash.

If they bought works of artists/photographers, it's theirs to use whatever they want. 

I am so fed up with those creatives thinking that they're somehow entitled to more payments because of a new way of using them. That's why we have legal contracts and they always say they reserve the right to do whatever with their works. 

I'm one of "those creatives" that make you fed up, apologies for putting you out so much.... Legally we have the right to decide how our work is used. Legal contracts don't always say that the purchaser has the right to "do whatever with their works". Contracts for the work I create stipulate the use cases and that's all the work can be used for. They can ask for a buyout of all rights, but that costs extra. Please think before you spout out your random thoughts, especially on topics that you don't know much about, it doesn't make you look good and is can be offensive to those you're talking about
