In 1998, 1 Mbps of bandwidth cost $1200 per month. Today it is about 10 cents.

I feel your argument lacks merit. In 1998, the average size of an image file on the web was between 2k to 12k, and the average web page was around 100K. Today the average web page is 3M.

1Mbps is certainly cheaper today, but it is also certainly less useful.

I'm sorry, but anyone who asks Epstein for antibiotics to treat their STD from sleeping with Epstein-provided prostitutes, also surreptitiously slipping some antibiotics to his wife in case he infected her, is someone I no longer give the benefit of the doubt to. Look at Bill Gates' shifty sly grin when he denounced having social ties to Epstein on a television interview. That shifty grin is the same grin he had in his mugshot when being arrested for a traffic violation as a young adult. He breaks the rules, smiles about it, and continues on with his narcissistic, malignant behavior. Stop glazing him, he won't glaze you back.

It's pretty much a trope that coffee has been bad for us one week and then good for us again the next week, ad infinitum.

It would be very amusing to see the world through your eyes.

How exactly do you think science works? Do you think that someone asks a question, and then scientists all get together in a single meeting to answer that question, and then they post the answer and claim it is the full and unquestionable truth?

No, that would be ridiculous. Instead, science is performed by millions of individual scientists, who each seek to understand some particular aspect of reality just a little bit better. They perform discovery, form a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, and then publish their results for the world to review.

There is no illuminati-style organization that coordinates all of the scientists, and their findings, together. Thus, one thousand different studies about various effects of coffee upon human health might be performed, and they might all study slightly different aspects of the topic, or test things in different ways. This in no way implies that the scientific method is flawed, or that "scientists" are just a bunch of goofy mind-changers who can never quite figure out which way is up when it comes to figuring out what science actually means.

This is to be expected for something as complex as science, unless you have an extraordinarily simple mind.

You apparently have no idea about how this feature works, nor does your reading comprehension allow you to figure out that he was being figurative when he claimed that he, as the user, asked OpenAI to delete his data. Nowhere in the product feature workflow does OpenAI ask or tell you that your data is about to be deleted. He even goes so far as to explicitly mention this in the beginning of his blog post.
