No way rich people are using this shit on their own kids.
I often wonder about the stuff I write, what becomes of it. It's a little disheartening since I love crafting it for best effect... But especially with computer books for beginners, people prefer to ask AI for the answers instead of studying.
I also just bought 6 sci-fi books from an author I'd never heard of for cheap. I love supporting indy authors, the price was right, and they sold their books directly from the website, no middlemen and no DRM. Perfect.
But was the author real? I actually did a bunch of research to find out their history and all that before pulling the trigger. I really don't want to read AI stories. But I can see a future where the vast majority don't care. Imagine an endless episode of Survivor or a soap opera, completely generated 24x7 forever. You know that shit would be massive.
And there might only be a fringe that seeks human-generated content for the humanity of it.
A trick you can use there is to form the connection with different intent, e.g. to learn more about the field. Maybe it leads to something and maybe it doesn't, but at least you learned something.
I didn't play that one, but I did play the c64 game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecHVCk_jKdM
Not quite as spectacular. 😅
This is how you know "pro-states rights" conservatives are lying to you.
They're working hard to make sure piracy provides the best experience.
As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.
Also no on renaming New Mexico.
We need a competitor badly.
If my ISP starts throttling my traffic, I'll just switch to one of the zero other providers in my area.
I'm on the "OK but keep an eye on it" train, here.
Devs need feedback to know how people are using the product, and opt-out tracking is the best way to do it. In this case, it seems like my personal data is completely unidentifiable.
I was coding in the IE6 era, so I'd really prefer to not end up in a browser engine monoculture again.

Lol.. I wanted "DRM". But it's been a long day.
