This is what credit card chargebacks are for.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this isn't that big of a number in the larger scale of US banking; According to the numbers in the article that's only about 2.5% of all bank lending (300B/1.2T, with the 1.2T being ~10%)

why anyone thinks "open letters" and petitions to a trillion-dollar company will get them to change their mind is beyond me

Unless the AI industry can figure out how to be profitable soon (to which basically nobody has a clear path to profitability besides maybe ad revenue) it's hard to see this not blowing up in a year or two. The bills for all of this are going to come due eventually and the AI CEOs can only convince investors to keep letting them burn billions for so long.

yet another clickbait "ai is taking jobs" study that doesn't investigate whether or not the employment decrease is directly caused by the ai adoption

API prices are going up and rate limits are getting more aggressive (see what's going on with cursor and claude code)

New comment by kelp6063 in "Speedhunters was a car culture juggernaut"

Speedhunters was the best way to experience broad car culture as a young kid in high school, in its prime it used to be two articles a day of well-written and photographed car features from all over the world in every style, all presented with no ads. A shame to see it go as there's nothing else really like it out there, now it's all scattered across instagram and various youtube channels. I'm hoping EA sells it off to someone who cares but knowing their track record they're likely to completely shut it down as soon as someone remembers it exists
