Not sure why you’re telling me that. I’m not criticising CAPTCHA, my parent comment was.

The point I was making is that you’re criticising something while suggesting something else even easier to bypass.

What a rotten state of affairs that we’re now openly suggesting producing garbage with the least effort possible and selling it until caught. We used to criticise those who did that, calling them spammers and scammers and worse. Now, “telli

You’re making a lot of assumptions. They could just stop visiting HN. They don’t even need a “plan” or an alternative, they can just stop.

It’s the same thing. Say you have a bill of 120€/year. On average that comes to 10€/month (120€ divided by 12 months). If you have save 10% a month you save 1€, which after 12 months becomes a saving of 12€. Now do that yearly: 10

That’s almost literal. Sam Altman has admitted early on their goal was to invent AGI and then ask it how to make money. https://www.startupbell.net/post/sam-altman-told-investors-b...

I find it fascinating how you can read someone’s own definition of a subjective concept and immediately make wrong assertions about them and their opinions and do so by employing a No True Scotsman, a logical fallacy so basic one learns it

Again, none of that contradicts what I said. It frankly feels like you’re trying hard to justify to yourself why you do things you know deep down aren’t right. You do you, whatever helps you sleep at night and get through the day, I guess.

> We know many of you loved the ads Who are these “many” mythical consumers who are using a product with ads and love the ads? I call bullshit. If you’re one of those people, please make yourself known. I’d like to ask some questions.

At a certain point, quotes (like any other part of language) get a new meaning, sometimes the opposite of what they originally stood for. Like any popular saying, whatever they were in reference to is forgotten and they stand and are interp
