Photoshop is £30 a month. NASDAQ.com reports their net profit to be 40% and elsewhere they're reported to gross $20B revenue. I think they can afford the ML based content generation costs without increasing prices.

A problem mentioned is that whilst this cuts off the payment, in law it may not remove the liability to pay, so the company could in future chase you for the payments.

My PayPal story (in short, search my comments if you want more detail) - I bought a cheap game (<£5) on Steam. The game was broken, Steam wouldn't refund and so broke UK Consumer Rights Act. I contacted PayPal, who opened a case, ac

Those who are pro-market probably consider the companies cropping up to be evidence that legislation is not needed (as the market is addressing the issue). I'm not such a person, fwiw.

It seems too take more discipline to attend a workplace than to do the same work from home. I don't understand your position. To me, what you're saying is like how banks won't give people mortgages when the monthly payments a

Will ChatGPT input form data into websites? Your idea is good for "turn this ticket info into a .ics file" (I imagine) but might not work for "add this ticket info to this proprietary website's internal calendar".

I was thinking more of an equivalent of XOR-ing the image direct from the CCD then using a TPM to do the image processing (edge detection, or whatever). You could deobfuscate by inspecting an individual CCD, but all images passed around wou

I think you could do an audio-looping app. You'd make a loop up from a series of instruments, but the instruments would appear consecutively. You choose the loop type (3 bars of 4-4 time, say, I'm not a musician!). Then you get an

So instead, you trust for-profit companies to direct the morals of society? Surely the reason prohibition failed so badly was that it wasn't democratic. You can't mandate against vice unless you have the support of the majority.
