I wish to live in a society in which this question is a moot point. Creators should have the freedom to create without having to worry about the goodwill of their audience, or worse, marketing strategies. Fans should have the freedom to access art without having to worry about the well-being of the creator, or worse, suffering guilt. Anything that is not aimed at creating and maintaining this state of being is inhumane.

I figured, but this thread wasn't specifically about helping with code. It was about replacing search engines. Common uses of search engines include finding information about ongoing events, e.g. the COVID pandemic or an upcoming election. Your comment implied that you thought this information is better obtained from ChatGPT than from Google.

Every fork has a reason it exists, which is to do something specific differently from the upstream. There's almost guaranteed going to be a fork whose whole shtick is going to be “no built-in AI”.

Expected a list of company names, perhaps with a small summary of how each profits from the genocide. Instead, got a block of text...

I've seen parts of the world where people currently live in partial cardboard boxes with dirty mattresses as their only furniture. They still live as if the are not part of the modern world.

I'm sorry... I'm trying to understand what you're saying. Are you saying these people choose to live that way because they've chosen to opt out of capitalism? And that they could instantly and effortlessly have a fantastic life if only they joined the club?

Are you serious?

There are plenty of forks of Firefox, many of which will likely not follow Mozilla’s lead when it comes to adding non-essential functionality to the core product.

This is a dangerous attitude. You're blindly trusting everything the LLM says. You will be susceptible to misinformation.

I didn't say it was new. I said it is irresponsible.

I'm afraid I'm gonna be the counterexample to your theory. I liked most forms of meat; my favorites were chicken, ground beef, and fish fingers. However, once I discovered plant-based (mostly soy-based) substitutes, I genuinely prefer them. I'm still not fully vegan but I'm no longer buying meat because this stuff is so much better. I also prefer oat milk over cow milk and am kind of annoyed I didn't try it sooner because it's so much better (esp. in hot chocolate).

Anyone else thought the headline (“bloodbath”) was saying there were actual deaths and that this hypersensationalistic reporting is irresponsible?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably haven't even looked for any viable alternatives, because if you had, you would have found they are plentiful already. They're just expensive because of the government subsidizing animal farming, not because they're expensive to produce.

Oh boy, this reminds me of this web comic, “Death and the Maiden”. It starts out slow but if you stick with it it's going to reward you. https://deathandmaiden.com/one/index.html
