It’s a scenario that Neal Stephenson covers in his book “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell”. Interesting read, although it’s one of my least favorite books of him and I liked the first book in the “Dodge” series a lot better.

I wonder what the power consumption of getting to the information in the summary is as a whole when using a regular search, clicking on multiple links, finding the right information and extracting the relevant parts. Including the expenditures of energy by the human performing the task and everything that surrounds the activity.
There are real concerns surrounding AI, I wonder if this is truly one of them or if it’s just poorly researched ragebait.

Just give them 10 lines at a time from the 500 lines one. Is this how micromanagement was born?
Maybe you should read up on coping mechanisms. And maybe empathy in general.
I just recently tried to log into my old icq account. It didn’t let me unless I provided a phone number so I noped the fuck out.
And then what? Carry on until we need an even bigger/thicker blanket?
And where would you store your Bitwarden login TOTP if you used their service instead of self hosting?
Is this the adult version of “the dog ate my homework”?
When I was working retail in a technical environment I had a customer come in wanting to buy product X. Since I’ve always just wanted to help people I suggested product Y for its superior quality and longevity at a slightly higher cost. The customer started raging at me how dare I try to upsell him something he didn’t ask for. Other customers turning their head and all. He left fuming saying he’d go to another store.
A day later said customer came back into the store and I was already bracing myself. Turns out he compared the products on the website and read some reviews and realized I was right. He apologized and bought the product.
It was not really satisfying, just turning a negative into a neutral I guess.
This is by design. It’s called dark patterns.

For just the albums I’ve listened to extensively and probably many more that I really enjoyed I think it’s been a good few years.
Didn’t read the article but I wonder how many people will now sub for a short period and cancel.
Like say you have a group of 3 and 1 person subbing indefinitely before and now there might be 3 people subbing for 2-3 months each. For a period of a year that’d be 12 months vs about 9 months.
So right now they might have increased their subs and revenue but it might change over a longer period of time? Or maybe people are just too lazy and will keep their subs. Who knows.
Your „free“ option just requires buying hardware that enables all of it and an intensive setup process and knowledge which might be quite time consuming.
It may be a good solution but it’s far from free for many people.
Since you took the time to leave such a lengthy response I’m going to reply, although the discussion here is pretty much over.
It’s not the single parts but the culmination of all three points; data harvesting, subscription and paid gems (yes you can buy more). Everyone has to make their own decision but for me it justifies never wanting to have anything to do with a company.
Hey GodGPT, what are the top 10 ways to get into heaven?
I still had the app installed on my iPhone because I wanted to learn a new language a few years back. Just recently checked their App Store page and saw extensive data collection, monthly subscriptions and some kind of “gem” currency. Immediately deleted.
Maybe that’s a recent change. I know I was able to log in, browse and add to watchlist a few months ago without having an active sub.
You can log in without having a sub. You just need to create an account on the web.
The OP is about not being able to do anything without paying. Not about not being able to do anything without an account.
That is a collection of pieces of media though, op asked about a single piece.
