Personally I never use an LLM or "AI" for any reason. Don't find them useful and, like others, don't find their writing compelling or interesting. I can understand using it as a coding tool, but can't fathom anyone…
The Germans also launched the first rocket to make it to space on June 20th 1944, though it wasn't privately made.

Well-respected by who? >(but unintentionally criminalizing open source) Why do you assume this was unintentional? Because she said so?
I can't be the only one who will never comply with these draconian, anti-privacy laws, nor the only one with the technical prowess to bypass them. Never used social media (unless you count HN as social media, which is a…

My friend's dad got a 1200 baud modem when they first came out for some obscene amount of money. Back then Compuserve used to charge by your connection speed. I was mowing lawns to pay $6.25 (~$20) an hour to play…

I submitted a few of my papers from grad school (long before LLMs or so-called "AI" existed) and they were flagged as being ~70% AI.
Maybe so, but here in the USA I can walk into a 7-11 right now and buy a prepaid phone with cash and no ID.
The ability of the government(s) to exclude you from every day activities required for participation in society (or survival) if you run afoul of their edicts is a feature of digital ID/digital currency, not a bug.
