It wouldn't be satisfying to you either, as you'd be dead.

Youre hearing ads as a paying user?

My biggest complaint re Spotify was poor shuffling, hearing the same song over and over. Finally resolved by using Spotipy to regularly re-order big playlists, and just disable shuffle.

Embarrassed anyone on hackernews can't formulate an argument, resorts to ad hominem

Force means "coercion or compulsion, especially w the use of threat or violence".

If "not paying someone x dollars" = force, then at this moment, I'm forcing 6 billion people to do something.

I built a solution for this (in 20 mins with the help of Gemini!).

1. use Google App Scripts to duplicate all the convos saved in your google drive to another folder, and append each ".txt". Mine runs every day.

2. enable API in google cloud console, install google-api-python-client on desktop,then created a workflow in Alfred to search from desktop.

Now I can search my AI Studio convos + content just as fast as any other file on my desktop : )

I know it seems low effort but I spent a good ten minutes reading through your other comments looking for an explanation for your post. It reads as so obviously written by an LLM.

I have no doubt you're a real person, and that all those things you claim are true. Almost all of your posts are clearly written by a thoughtful human.

But then I see that occasionally, you post something that looks nothing like your other posts, and exactly like it was written by an LLM. I love learning from ChatGPT too, but I'm curious about your mindset if and when you have it speak for you here. Is the goal to use ChatGPT to educate us? If so, why not give it credit?

Everyone here knows how to use google and ChatGPT (and a majority of us could whip up a script to auto-post LLM responses). It seems like most of the internet is already "dead".. don't give it HN too, please, stick to posting thoughtful human stuff!

Just swap out "my take, for what it's worth" For "according to ChatGPT"

Just gotta compare it to the risks of not having a family to take care of.

I thought genini 2 flash API was free (for personal use at least)? I just created an iOS shortcut to call it, and didn’t pay anything.

I assume the “enslave” question is meant to allude to the fact that, since nothing is actually free, when demand outstrips supply, at some point “making it free” can only mean forcing people to provide it (financially or personally).

If “x should be free” was a solution to anything, why stop at education? Let’s make everything free!

? Limit the money supply? It just deflates (grows in value), right?

Agree.

Ive owned several businesses and probably hired about 100 people in my life. Ive never commanded a single one.

These are voluntary relationships. I’m paying for their services. I don’t command the waitress to bring me a drink, and she doesn’t command me to pay her.

Why would I ever issue a command? Either you’re choosing to work with me, in which case you want to provide me with your service, or we’re not working together.

Solution: use a memorable password for one of your cloud services. One that does not require 2FA. Keep a copy of password db there.

If you’re talking about honeybees, they are livestock. And they travel something like 2 or 3 miles from their homes, not more. if i decided to move next year, everyone in my neighborhood would see and alarming 75% drop in bee visits. And im just a hobbyist, keeping about 3 colonies.
