Yes you are correct, this is partially why everything is a "cloud service" now. It could've been so much better...

Too late, we already switched to Valkey

Oh no, what will we do without our thinly veiled ads?

At least Valnet will be able to milk its dead husk of any remaining value.

This "warning" is completely disingenuous, of course. What is actually being said is that education as we know it is obsolete. Why bother learning anything when the AI can just solve it for us? As long as we have rudimentary literacy skills, everything else can be offloaded to the AI. I fear that ultimately we will all be trained to be utterly dependent on these amazing new tools. In a way, we are blessed to witness the birth of a new period in human history.

What do you mean? I love it when I search for something very specific and it ignores me and gives me results for something else instead!

Isn't this trivial to bypass with a simple webcam filter that makes you look older?

I still remember when Emmanuel Goldstein crowned himself King of the Internet on WBAI. Not sure if he still wants that title...

Good idea, perhaps we should hard-throttle your bananas.

Yes, they tell you about this. You can opt out. Buyer beware.

Did you install it or did you let some monkey install it for you?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... unless you can directly profit from its destruction.
