They block VPNs? That sucks

Sure, many don’t care and I have also experienced this, but it’s a fabulous way to quickly get a glimpse at a subject, or to get started, or to learn more. It’s not always correct, but for known subjects it’s pretty good

Anything related to law or really specific subjects will be horrible though

Classical education exists for a good reason

Sure, but not everyone teaches well enough, and LLMs are one of the ways to balance this, kinda

And if you don’t understand then… yea it’s still useful as a way to avoid failing a year which is morally questionable but hey, another topic

I wish they were always a luxury, but in some situations they’re just too important to me

And I already pointed the upside. You don’t have to use the default UI though, custom UI exists, APIs exists, and you don’t have to enter personal infos in prompts, as well as use your residential IP… this pretty much makes it unlinkable to you

Surviving is different than living in good conditions

As with every tool, it has downsides. Learn to use it or continue to whine

Why does she look much more asian than in the game?

Forgot about Valve taking a giant 30% cut and making thousands of people gambling addicts?

I hope SSDs and NVMes are cheaper by the time HL3 comes out

HL:A isn’t bad though

Now what sucks is that people are okay with underaged kids gambling because, come on, it’s Steam!

I might be hijacking conversations too much…

Your speech pattern has been detected to be the property of Google, LLC. Sending a cease and desist letter…

I’m keeping this to a side of my head and I will start a random debate at a later date

You have clearly never been in that situation then. It is obviously not like this for many people, but for students for example, it often means a lot more

and you don’t need a computer, and you don’t need to eat good food

It’s just that you lose so much productivity, comfort and so on

When such a tool is a difference between 30 mins and 5 hours of work, then you simply use it. You either move with the masses to compete, or you don’t, but you’ll pay the price anyways.

I’m not anti btc but not really interested in investments in bitcoin. It’s not what it was designed for and it gives it a bad rep

If you want actual good features like deep research or chain of thought, eh, not sure it’s a good choice

The models will also not be very powerful

This is basically a “if you don’t want your data to be used, run your own internet” comment

It’s just not doable for pretty much everyone

Their ship sinks with them

I don’t believe many people chargeback adult games on steam and itch

afaik Valve and Itch have not disclosed the names of their payment processors, so no way for me to know, and companies could lie anyways

Idk, maybe elaborate next time.

sure, but far too much trust is given on some journalistic sources which just spread a potential lie without checking further
