Short term yes. But there is a reason why IDEs, game engine and other development tools have very high cheap or free versions for this market segment. Since these users end up having a huge influence on what companies they work at / en

Consumers want to pay as little as possible and companies want to charge them as much as they possibly can. That’s how markets work I don’t understand what does “entitlement” have to do with anything. If loud consumers somehow manage to coe

I’m not sure why are people throwing the word “subsidizing” so much. Do we know that they are actually losing money on subscriptions? Because if not that’s just normal market segmentation since enterprise users are willing to pay many times

Easily swappable batteries do have significant downsides, you either need to compromise on capacity or form factor. Of course that doesn’t mean they should be hard to replace with some tools and effort. To be fair back in those days laptops

Employers still have the option to not require it on day one if they choose? It’s just that they have the option now if they feel specific employees are abusing it. Considering that you can’t fire people in Germany for taking an excessive

LLM output is not copyrightable, though? So effectively if you pay for it you can do whatever you want from it. That seems perfectly fair and reasonable.

How? you would make more money by only manufacturing generic drugs. Investing massive amounts of money to subsidize your competitors would be irrational.

I’m pretty sure the colonists imposed it themselves because it benefited them. England didn’t force them to buy and exploit slaves.
