The person copy-pasting an AI response is generally not the person who trained said AI. Even if the total amount of effort is fairly large, the amount of effort put in by the person you're actually interacting with, is generally small.

There are obvious exceptions to that rule. Laconic phrases are short but have a lot to them, while AI slop is long while having very little to it. But it's a decent rule of thumb when considering the middle of the bell curve.

I'm curious how this lines up with US literacy rates. Is the group of people who can't navigate a two page online form the same as the one have reading comprehension skills on a 5th grade level or lower? Or do they at least largel

I still think it's worth it to provide connections over plain HTTP for this reason. It probably doesn't apply to many people, and you shouldn't allow anything really important to happen over plain HTTP (logins, payment), but

> The problem with changing banks to search for a ux you like is that it's not easy to see the ux before you've invested in signing up. I agree. Better to deal with the devil you know rather than potentially one you don't.

I mean, you can get the encrypted bits on the disc, except the key, so those don't really help you anything. If you ask the drive for the key, it'll tell you 'what? no, fuck off'/'that address is invalid',

It's not that the custom firmware brings anything to the device. It just gets rid of the DRM. Blu-ray is DRMed, so the stock firmware is capable of telling you 'no'. You don't always get direct access to the bits on the

Big bummer. I bought a drive way back to make sure I could rip disks if I wanted to, but I haven't had the need yet.

Thankfully, the people who buy those drives for unreasonable prices are usually willing to share their spoils. Only one needs to actually have the hardware for the rest of the world to share the joy. It's annoying if you have some more

Full team, no. Probably not even just the one guy who made 2048, unless maybe you count minimum wage. It's hard to know what he earned of ads and such, but I can't imagine it being anything massive.
