The firms who do not win the visa lottery “just become smaller firms” instead of hiring market-rate labor because they still have to compete in a market against other firms who won the visa lottery and have access to below-market-rate labor

If the AI makes a “better” poster that everyone hates because it’s AI, and a person makes a “worse” poster that everyone likes because it’s human, isn’t the business better off with the “worse” poster?

When I look up the word “pain” in a thesaurus I also get back a bunch of words related to pain. Is the book in pain!? Maybe we should run some undergraduate psychology studies on it.

A key consideration in most legal definitions of theft is “intent to permanently deprive the owner”. While this has historically meant scraping is not theft (because copying doesn’t erase the original, nobody is deprived), in this specific
