Yes, your examples make sense in their own context, but are not relevant to the case of scraping publicly available data.

In short, who's getting put out of business for redisplay or derived data uses of publicly available data?

Who's getting bankrupted by legal fees over scraping these days--which has time and time again be declared not illegal.

> a service exposes some capability without authentication, ergo you're authorized to use it

How is this different from scraping publicly available websites? i.e. why would you get in trouble for one, but not the other?

except that person(s) you gave and received the cash from know who you are.

> Terms of service for various companies and other long and boring documents.

OK, fine. Do you have a working example of this? e.g. he's a contract, and please find me the unfavorable and / or non-standard terms. People have tried this before with no success, and it would be great if someone finally made some headway here. Even more points if the GPT things find onerous terms, but says, "hey don't worry about this non-compete bit, it's not enforceable."

Please don't give the marketing team any crazy ideas. ESG + AI = Aladdin!

> Salesforce will print money for a few more years until someone makes a less awful CRM solution and just crushes their business.

This statement undervalues the lock-in Salesforce has. One should probably make migrate-from-Salesforce tool and sell to all the new VC funded CRM shops. You could be selling shovels during a gold rush.

> This floored me. One because in my mid Atlantic area nearly every house has a heat pump. When house shopping many years ago we never saw a listing that didn't have one.

Is this really possible? Is every house in this area less than 20 years old, or occupied by a well-heeled and environmentally conscious homeowner?

I agree, it's impressive. But still not at the level of useful. For example, I would never use any of these generative art images in company ads or marketing materials. They're not in the uncanny valley, but closer to that than something one would commission from a designer.

I agree that it's a reasonable approximation to say the Republicans are the bad guys, but that in no way makes it true that the Democrats are the good guys. In fact, the more odious the R's behave the worse the D's can do say and still say, "well, at least we're not them.".

> First, We needed a formal org chart posted where employees could find it.

Isn't this bad infosec to publish this information? Also, probably bad from employee retention. Don't want the headhunters to get a hold of this.
