<p>You're absolutely right to call this out.  No humans, no emotion, no real comments - just LLM slop.<p>In all seriousness, agreed.  The top comment at time of this writing seems like a poor summarizing LLM treating everything as the best thing since sliced bread.  The end result is interesting, but neither this nor Google invented the technique of trying multiple things at once as the comment implies.</p>

<p>You really don't need a full on faraday cage.  Signals in the phone frequency range are pretty poor at penetration, especially brick or concrete.  I once lived in a house with lath and plaster walls, and I had to leave the office door open to even get wifi in there.<p>Perhaps some well placed metallic  material on or near the windows would suffice?</p>

<p>Probably the other direction.  Emotions are raw, most humans relate and change behavior accordingly.<p>Only psychopaths think of emotion as nothing but a means to changing behavior.  The scary thing is that LLMs by nature would exhibit the same behavior.</p>

<p>> don't realize they're buying something illegal when they're paying a small percentage of what the services themselves would cost<p>Possibly, but not always.  When Red Pocket and the other cheap mvnos came around, people were skeptical for the same reason - but it was all above board.<p>Pricing depends on sales channel and price.  If you slum the dregs of shady marketplaces, you can get it for like 3 or 4 bucks a month.  But in more mainstream settings, resellers often try to charge as much as 20 or 30 (or more) per month which isn't quite as drastic.<p>In the US, a few people in my mom's friend circle were raving about their 'magic box.'  It cost a couple hundred but got TV, so they were happy.  AFAICT it's some shady actors buying cheap android boxes and flashing some iptv software with service preconfigured.  These people don't even know they're using iptv.</p>

<p>I'm pretty uneasy about legal action against the subscribers themselves.  If you can prove intent, maybe?  But I'd argue many or even most don't realize they're doing anything illegal.<p>These IPTV companies, in my experience, never advertise that it's illegal.  It's just give us money for a lot of TV channels, just like a cable company does.</p>

<p>This makes sense to me as a strategy for most users.<p>I cancelled a year or two ago, but not for the price changes alone.  I didn't like the new interface much, and I found myself endlessly scrolling through the same things looking for stuff to watch.<p>I'm not sure if Netflix vastly removed most of its content, or they just made discoverability a nightmare, but it felt often like I 'ran out of stuff to watch.'<p>It's hard to justify 20 something a month for what is essentially a few 6 episode shows that will last one season, and maybe 4 or 5 passable movies in a year.  It seems rather silly to me to pay for that all year.</p>

<p>I get that argument, but as a counterpoint of one: Our last house we got so tired of the drabness, we used rich reds, golds, greens, and an even a bright orange in one room.  It made the whole house feel so much more vibrant, it's hard to explain but it was just... pleasant to look at.<p>Anyways, the new owners tracked down my wife over some old mail, and during the conversation they thanked us for having painted it so vividly and said it was part of why they were drawn to it.  They shared pics and they've done a -ton- of work, but the paint colors remain :)</p>
