And keeping with their initial example, the US also has a lot of school shootings. Doesn't mean schools are dangerous.

That's still civil. I think this is just a case of fraud plain and simple.

How quirky

I guess you missed the if. The topic is literally regarding monetary related punishments. That does even remotely imply forgoing anything else.

Just because you scored high doesn't mean they did. They are recruiters, after all.

Y'all realize what you're describing is just a poor tax, right? Anyone with significantly higher income over base income would...just break the law anyway.

If we're talking using money to deter crimes, it needs to be a sliding scale. You're a millionaire and got a speeding ticket? That'll be $50,000.

It is! Just be aware that it won't always be right. It's good to verify things with additional sources (as with anything, really).

If it is on the open internet and visible to anyone with a web browser and you have an adblocker like most people, you are not paying to support that work. That's what it was trained on.

I personally use it's answers as a jumping off point to do my own research, or I ask it for sources directly about things and check those out. I frequently use LLMs for learning about topics, but definitely don't take anything they say at face value.

For a personal example, I use ChatGPT as my personal Japanese tutor. I use it discuss and break down nuances of various words or sayings, names of certain conjugation forms etc. etc., and it is absolutely not 100% correct, but I can now take the names of things that it gives me in native Japanese that I never would have known and look them up using other resources. Either it's correct and I find confirming information, or it's wrong and I can research further independently or ask it follow up questions. It's certainly not as good as a human native speaker, but for $20 a month and as someone who likes enjoys doing their own research, I fucking love it.

It's the world we live in. It's very much intentionally designed to make you complacent.

Dude, I feel like if you're still playing RuneScape in the year of our lord 2024, it's more than just RuneScape for you at this point.

...This is just a network switch/router.
