You can also play with it to try and get closer to correct. I had problems with getting an Excel macro working and getting unattended-updates working on my pihole. GPT was wrong at first, but got me partly there and I could massage the question and Google and get closer to the right answer. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get any of it, especially with the macro.

Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.

Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.

Old Reddit works for me. Does it just not work in general for you, or does it not work when not logged into an account?

The very idea is absurd. It is so counter productive to the idea of rehabilitation. The prisons themselves say they aren't a significant revenue stream. Trying to offset the cost of a societal need by charging fees to prisons doesn't even make any sense. And the companies that are tasked with collecting this debt get 70% of what they collect which means that even the argument about offsetting the state's cost doesn't make sense.

It's profit seeking, counter productive cruelty and that's it. Just shameful.

If Roku actually does this I would definitely never use them again. Completely asinine behavior. Especially because most people aren't even using stand alone boxes with their smart TVs.

What it was the end of was talentless painters who were just copying what they saw. Painting stopped being for service and started being for art. That is where software development is going.

I think a better way of saying this are people who were just doing it for a job, not because of a lot of talent or passion for painting.

But doing something just because it is a job is what a lot of people have to do to survive. Not everyone can have a profession that they love and have a passion for.

That's where the problem comes in when it comes to these generative AI.

The people who buy something like this (hopefully) have enough money where $3,500 doesn't matter or are developers who want to get in early on something that might be big in a few versions.

Everyone else should avoid.

This is nothing new. Buying digital and streaming only versions of media just means you are licensing it. If you care, either break the DRM and reencode, or just pirate it directly.

Do you mean the whole thing or something specific like free commercial use being illegal?

I think the answer to both are the people who created the art, text, etc that these generative AI tools are going to make mostly obsolete.

Imagine both the annoyance and job security having to manage MS-DOS and 3.1 systems for a railroad would entail.

I'm arguing for free commercial use being illegal, absolutely.

And that fee should scale based on who is using it for commercial purposes. Microsoft and Google should be paying far, far out the ass for their data.
