i dont find the need to have such a disclaimer at all. If the content can stand on its own, then it is sufficient. If the content is slop, then why does it matter that it is an ai generated slop vs human generated slop? The only reason anyo

could you instead just add a count to how many times the sleep was invoked, and then add that check into the `until` condition to quit after X numbers of sleeps? You dont need to timeout here, and you won't need to subshell another bas

The fact is, AMD's stock price pre-chatgpt kinda tracks nvidia's. But post chatgpt release, they diverged[0]. And this is what i am talking about regarding the betting before nvidia became the winning horse. Aint nobody betting on

so apparently, these 'users' are so lacking in agency that they willingly get milked. If so, they deserve it. There's still plenty of good games, esp. in the indie sphere, that aren't like the modern live-service-shit.

the crutch is that an update could silently re-enable it, in a way that you aren't notified, and it'd be too late to try disable after it captured content off your machine you didnt want captured.
