Thats cause the software and computing industry early on, disclaimed all liability. "Computers are hard, yo!". It devalues the profession. And I thought no liability was bad enough... But no. Now its LLMs and " for entertainm

What gets me is that LLM writing has an inhuman voice. Of course we know the tells. Not only this, but that. You're exactly right! — The woman and man AI voice endemic to YouTube and ilk is also tremendously off putting. M5Stack has a

Yep, its basically a scam to charge you more tokens and provide less compute. You cant even guarantee WHAT model you get. Or if they downgrade you. Or if you 'offend corporate sensibilities' and they misdirect or lie. The only way

I'm not sure where you're from, but in my state, we have "Castle Doctrine" and "Stand your Ground" laws. That means if you are a home invader, I can legally shoot and kill you. There'll be an investigation
