There is an entire sub-genre in Comics of cartoons riffing on Garfield like this one. Nearly every cartoonist has done it and, oh my lord, it fills me with joy & reminds me why I actually love people.
The big difference is Deepseek is open sourced, which ALL of these models should be because they used our collective knowledge and culture to create them.
I like AI but the single biggest issue is how it is being gated off and abused by Capitalists for profit (It's kind of their thing).
Now see, I wouldn't know because I don't check prices on the Internet. I just go, buy some shit if it's there, if it's not, I get annoyed & maybe try somewhere else if it's important enough for me at that moment.

That said, I am privileged enough to live somewhere where there are multiple options for shopping close by, so, easy for me to say.
I started using Reddit in 2008 (kill me). One of the of the defining traits of the site at the time was the fact everything was anonymous. It was considered taboo to expose your Reddit persona to your irl circles. Hell, I still don't have an email associated with my Reddit account.
It's been interesting, and a little tragic, to watch that attitude erode over the years and then see Reddit itself encourage the idea of creating a unique identity to cash in.
Lemmy is way more like the original Reddit & I'll actually admit to using Lemmy, even though no one knows wtf I'm on about.
After reading this, I searched and read this msnbc blog synopsis that gets into a little more detail about possible motives for Smith's choice of venue that basically reiterates choosing to prosecute in a different district could have thrown a guilty verdict into question.
Jack Smith could have chosen to bring charges in a district where there wasn't a 50/50 chance it would end up in Canon's courtroom, but he was high on his own farts & wanted the big win.
You're right about this. I was commenting in the context of "intellectual property".
