You can order from somewhere else online. Most of Amazon is cheap crap from aliexpress now anyway. They don't even have the best prices most of the time anymore.
I think the whole thing about megacorps being the problem here is a bit short sighted, I don't think it will be too much longer before anyone can spin up their own LLM. It doesn't exactly take Google levels of resources. I'm as happy to shit on megacorps as the next person here but IP law as it is is BS.
More likely than not any changes made will be to benefit large corporations at the expense of individuals and competition. I'm imagining a world where copyright law has made it so that only big corporations can afford to pay for LLM training data. As if individuals had to pay library book prices for a personal book to train their personal LLM. This desire to "cash in" may just play right into the megacorporation's hand.
I would rather pay for the services I use if they don't charge much more than they make off of us in ads, and remove ads entirely. Then advertisers could not control what content I can see. It also adds another barrier between people and the services, look at what happens when a game goes free to play. The quality of the playerbase drops. Trolls might think twice if being banned means they have to pay for a new account.
What is the point of using an email client over just using the web client? I've never been able to figure out the use case. Genuine question, not just trying to shit on this.
Edit: Thanks for all the answers, I'm trying it out now
Yes, but unlike Elon's claim, he did not actually invent the electric car. He wasn't even the founder of Tesla. It was going to happen with or without him.
I was thinking more like that solving the homelessness problem needs to be a part of improving public transit, and cities in general. Nothing made me want a personal vehicle more than being forced to ride public transit. Every day I'd look at the people passing us by in cars and say to myself "One day, that is gonna be me!"
What happened to @Dandylion's dad is horrifying, though. That is exactly the kind of stuff that keeps me off public transit as well. "It never happened to me" isn't really a valid argument.
Listening to the studio versions of these songs is weird for me now. It is one of the few live albums I've listened to where the audience adds something.
