I don't think swearing at or otherwise getting into pissing matches with an LLM is the best use of ones time but given most of these AI companies trained on a corpus that includes reddit of all things this argument falls flat.

The "only certain people are watched" hinges on pinky swears, winks, and nods. IMO it's a distinction without a difference.

"The real friends are the clicks and attention you receive along the way."

These AI companies have already been caught red handed stealing content to train their models and the courts blessed it. On a scale that would have landed you or I in prison.

It’s just “Too big to fail” by another name.

Not everyone has unlimited budgets to burn on tokens.

It’s not our fault these technology companies (and others) have managed to capture the legal system to the point they can redefine words to mean the exact opposite of what they’ve always meant by trick of “terms of service” or some fine print printed on the bottom of a refrigerator in the basement somewhere.

It will be back in a few years more expensive than ever of history is to be believed.

And it's horrible.

The right click menu never once showed me “loading…” when I just want to click “properties”

A not too overly flashy UI that made efficient use of your screen space.

It didn’t used to by default shove “news and entertainment” bing suggestions. Nobody wants to open their browser after an update to be greeted by tabloid rags.

The search used to work. You could find files instead of bing results. You could grep text files with the explorer search bar (across the network too) and it just worked. Good luck doing that today.
