I believe it's a bit more nuanced than that. Both democrats and republicans have had enough power to make meaningful changes to prevent such a wealth gap and thus the wealthy play both parties. I do see democrats trying to help people have a better life (medicare for all, etc), but the wealth gap grew nometheless. Though I do agree with you that republicans don't seem to give a flying fuck about the people these days, which does make it worse IMHO. Regardless, both parties enabled the wealth gap and is why the fight is the 99.99% against the 0.01%. The US needs to kill citizens united and take money out of politics, I think that'd be a huge step forward...and yet, it is basically impossible because the 0.01% have the power.

To be fair, you don't need to slay giants to be a viable product.

they can give the tv powers to autoconnect to public/open networks and can partner with companies like Comcast to get more access points. It's best not to buy a smart TV

Having experienced AI at $job and having tried to make vibecodong a thing, run when you see it. Yes, that means good enough AI gets through, what's the harm in that if it works as you need it to?

Wouldn't that mean everyone owns it then (wrt copyright)? Not just the generator and Anthropic?

In the US, at least, the works generated by "AI" are not copyrightable. So for my layman's understanding, they may claim ownership, but it means nothing wrt copyright.

(though patents, trademarks are another story that I am unfamiliar with)
