The security implications of scanning and merging external prompts at scale are going to be interesting.

Most AI-refugees where quality doesn't matter will embrace the slop, they will become slop experts, slop consultants. Learning to code become less relevant, except if you are looking for a work that really needs it and it will still be valuable, that won't be for everyone.

> Just tell the AI to do it

This is the new Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

Part of the industry always seek humans able to code with deep understanding. AI is fast but always lacks depth, works better if you are able to pilot it with your knowledge. If that changes, learning code becomes useless. If you learn code with limited depth (nextjs bros), this is already useless.

This is confusing. I can torrent everything and do what I want with it, as long as I don't redistribute the exact same thing?

If so, why do we still pay for games and movies?

Let's say you are right on this. What's the point of hurting yourself? There would be no meaningful benefit.

What's their interest in you building side-loaded apps instead of using their data hungry services?

Agree... if they want to sell it, parent company must agree on forever licenses for each user. Regardless of reselling license getting cancelled.

> All the free, consumer-benefiting services

If they stop providing value to users, they are putting their ad business at risk. It's never free, providing value to share holders is a top priority.

More than code they write, the framework and runtime they use.

Mostly used by JavaScript parsers and HTML rendering, the rest is for telemetry.

Spec may not always match your needs. The hardware is tailored for PC Gaming which is dominated by Steam.

This is a general purpose PC but it's also designed for Steam. Valve will get back a fair amount of revenue on games sold for usage on said machines. They could sell it with little to no margin (maybe they are doing it) while increasing gaming time and potential revenue. Sure, games can be had for cheap and so far it seems to be profitable.

Nuclear should also take the hit. Wars and CO2 are orders of magnitude worse.

France also produces less CO2, sell electricity at reasonable and stable cost.

If fossil fuel weren't massively subsided (impact the environment for free, wars with taxpayer money), Nuclear would have made a massive dent.

Producing the same with other sources will have a massive immediate impact on the land / environment.

Let's agree on "Google was providing a service". Current and future state can be questionable.

Btw you can still block it.

Coming with proper user-agent sounds ethical. https://archive.org/details/archive.org_bot

Author/publisher are owning their content. Expecting work of others to always be free doesn't sound really ethical.

Not a fair statement. Google wasn't built on bypassing bot protections.

Google is providing a service to the websites they crawl.

They try to not crawl when we don't want them (robots.txt, clear user-agent, no-index no-follow...).
