Ah so _that's_ why it was so good. So often I find these 'AI' systems are just smoke and mirrors. You have a great system, nobody is interested. Sprinkle on some 'ai' magic beans, and people are now throwing money a

It really depends on what you want from them. If you enjoy writing, then write. If you want traffic, then you can measure if they are or aren't generating it for you. I have a few thoughts on the writing itself, if you're open for

In a similar vein I often see people complain about the NHS. Obviously it has issues, and yes sometimes it doesn't cover something you think it should. But it is world-class both in treatment and research.

I've heard similar stories where small suppliers are crushed by large customers. But how do you get around this? Is there a way of engaging with these big companies as a small player? Or is it just a fool's errand?

As a non-guitarist but one-time musician, why are guitar tuners needed? Other stringed instruments seem to not need them, and I never thought to ask. (Obviously you might need an absolute reference if you don't have absolute pitch)

I think it's a legitimate, if small, concern. There's a possibility that people participating would be more likely to take a roll of the dice. Yes it's stupid, but people do stupid things all the time, particularly when it co
