I am also convinced that this is a contrived and fake case for the reasons you've listed. Don't get me wrong, I am super critical of the AI hype and "vibe coding" (God, I detst that term), but this just seems too "w

Very simply put: because in neoliberal capitalism, the only goal of companies is to maximize profit in the short-term (because financing is driven by short time horizons). Crucially, companies don't need to internalize any external cos

The issue is that if we go down this path, what will happen is that the gap between access to real therapy and "LLM therapy" will widen, because the political line will be "we have LLM therapy for almost free that's bett

Obviously, if you have a good weight and low body fat, you don't need to limit your caloric intake. In this PDF nutritionfacts.org cites several studies that seem to show that caloric restriction might have health benefits outside of p

Ok yes, let's count Spain. But this still is a blimp compared to the whole of EU, and certainly does not warrant saying "Pendulum has swung too far to the left"

Exactly. Why is this so hard to understand? It's about the marignal use. I can't believe anybody who is smart and thought about this for two seconds can make this argument in good faith.

Feels like this could be a good opportunity for Apple Pay (or Google Pay) to offer a microtranscation service specifically for newspapers. They could offer an SDK so implementing it is easy on the newspaper side, and they could offer better
