No, it is still fraud, even if your fraudelent actions ended up making the investors/company money. And it will land you in prison. This is exactly what Martin Shkreli spent his time in prison for (and not for anything related to Darap

Why would anyone do that? I would assume people can just read a review first before buying. Especially since they already played the original, so it isn’t like they would need to worry about spoiling the story for themselves. Also, easy Ste

Yup, fully agreed with your take on Amazon being similar to today's LLM providers. Today's LLM providers have the same choice as Amazon had back then. They could just stop advancing/expanding, and instead try harnessing that

This is a great article, and it has AI in the title, but imo it has nothing to do with AI. In fact, it doesn’t even claim to have any evidence of AI being involved there. What the article is really about is the sad state of ethics and care

Cannot speak for the rest, but the whole “Amazon didn’t turn a profit for years” (as an argument about their profitability now coming solely through quasi-monololy routes) is incredibly misleading and bordering on disingenuous. Since before
