Use them however you like yourself. Never tell anyone else what they should and shouldn't CW; if you don't like how they use/don't use them, unfollow/mute.

Proposed implementation example of upgrading the new mastodon elephant to an interactive assistant/helper:

I suspect people trying to find alternate CPU architectures that don't suffer from - like bugs have misunderstood how fundamental the problem is.

Your CPU will not go fast without caches. Your CPU will not go fast without speculative execution. Solving the problem will require more silicon, not less.

I don't think the market will accept the performance hit implied by simpler architectures. OS, compiler and VM (including the browser) workarounds are the way this will get mitigated.
