Then delete and start over, or don't use data you don't have explicit permission to use. in the first place.

It's like a thief saying "well, I already fenced most of the stuff so it's too hard to give any of it back. So let's just call it quits, eh?"

or bloody universal healthcare

I guess it depends on where you live. It's not true of the whole world.

The headline's confusing. If a losing bet is backfiring, does that mean it's now a winning bet?

Well, I guess that's another reason to be glad I neither have a facebook account nor any interest in yet another chatbot, especially not one from google.

heh, all of them (plus several others) were on my list of "never buy from them" list a decade ago. Never had any reason to reconsider

I've been saying for about 15 years now -- you'd have to be a masochist to buy HP printers. Why do people keep enabling these shits? You just encourage them to be even worse. Don't stand for even a little of their bullshit and they will change or die. You make a noose for your own neck.

I expect a lot more authors will go this (crowdfunding) route; if Kelsey Dionne can get over $1.3 million for a fairly niche TTRPG product (albeit that it was a very well done example of its particular niche), publishing straight up fiction books via crowdfunding has to look pretty damn attractive.

Yeah. Not a certainty, even with everything, but sure -- an increasingly solid chance of it.
