>Oh, it doesn’t exist because you haven’t seen it? Hmm, good analytical skills.

This is about what is legal, and about what the law says. It is about establishing a protocol for lawful conduct. Can you explain why you think you have the moral high ground? Or keep with the poorly researched attacks, those are fun too

Yeah, why check right? Not like we need evidence or any investigation…

I saw some people leaving a known drug house yesterday, but fortunately I gunned down the whole family, no questions asked!

The US is busy shooting “drug boats” with no evidence, that is who they are now

How else is she going to get the dow back above 50k? Being a soulless lying ghoul is tiring though, so that checks out!

I think the cynicism is related to cloudflares recent previous releases that were considered to be slop that significantly overpromised on its capabilities/completeness. Trust can take a long time to rebuild.

Is it strategic deterrence, or just being so unreliably and inconsistent that insider information becomes more valuable?

Is it strategic to demonstrate a lack of planning or that you are a poor ally incapable of garnering support (either domestically or abroad)?

Perhaps, but it was pretty widely reported on, if you care to look.

Did you miss the cancel/unsubscribe gpt boycott? It was only about a month ago. Many people I know cancelled/unsubscribed. To be fair though, most people I have talked with needed almost no encouragement to move to anthropic or google (better products, easy to switch etc). Consumer sentiment can change quickly.

After the DoD moves? It is not just the technologically illiterate, it is part of the US culture war. OpenAI is the MAGA brand, like tesla.
