Any sufficiently large corporation possesses the resources to gain trust by portraying itself as the 'nice guys,' unlike the others, which is often convincing enough to fool many. The conviction that every corporation is inherentl

Agreed. The AI of our day (the transformer + huge amounts of questionably acquired data + significant cloud computing power) has the spotlight it has because it is readily commoditized and massively profitable, not because it is an amazing

Yeah. It's truly amazing how cleverly they designed these tools to encourage discovery and experimentation. It's made to make it basically impossible to create something that "doesn't look right", which makes it a f

Same. I actually resisted switching to Chrome for a while because I didn't want to lose functionality that I had accustomed to in Firefox which was lacking in Chrome back then, (mostly in the form of extensions like Firebug) but the di
