Most of the comments I've seen on HN have been personal opinions or legal questions rather than legal opinions. Copilot may be 100% legal - that doesn't make it 100% ethical (depending on your personal ethics).

If someone can use the tech to produce realistic images of someone they can use those images to harass and abuse that person. That’s a horrendous position for someone to be put it. I’d advise looking at some peoples stories of being the vic

You’re assuming these restrictions are enforced by others. That’s not necessarily true. If I was building these tools I wouldn’t want to know that they’d been potentially used to create content I ethically object to, and I would restrict th

They're likely pricing in further changes. Better to assume things will get worse and price that in once, than have to reprice every few months.

It's not like they did it out of spite or greed - both the EUR and GBP have plummeted against the USD over the last year. One area they could look at though is outrageous storage premiums. The price jump between levels is now a joke.

Anecdotally I see this with my friends who’ve had kids. A bunch of them all had kids roughly the same time (all within a year) and it’s fascinating how differently they all react. On the extreme ends you have one that nobody sees anymore be

>> How do you find 1 thing you are really good at and stick with it? Maybe if you stick with one thing you'll become really good at it. Most (maybe all) people aren't inherently really good at anything.

Is it really skilled? I feel like it's just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. You have an idea, write a prompt, and then edit and re-run that prompt repeatedly until you accidentally get what you want.

Really? The clothes are my least favourite of the swag items. Send me it without the company logo and it's a great gift. But if I have to walk around looking like I'm in uniform then I'd rather buy my own.
