For a lot of people, if their data is being used as a benefit, then they should be properly compensated for that. They're more likely to be trying to comprehend how to keep food on the table.

No. It goes back to the 1990s when we used Data Entry Operators to key mail details that could not be read by OCR. This is all so the mail goes into the truck sorted. That is the most important part of the mail delivery operation.

The fact that you can get pictures from this system is the innovation but imaging has existed for much longer than this product.

People who pay Anthropic you mean. There is no benefit. And only the owner can make more books.

> then everyone benefits from cheaper widgets and you get paid for it.

Ah, but the original widget manufacturer bought a Senator, and so now there are onerous widget regulations that specifically target me while leaving them unscathed.

You also want to set a marker so that when you come back later you can set your theodolite up in the exact same position as you did 20 years ago.

There's a lot of surveyors marks hammered into things out in the world.

In two months they've doubled MAUs? Without an explanation of that specific outcome I don't believe it.

Also:

> As per SimilarWeb data 61.05% of ChatGPT's traffic comes from YouTube, which means from all the social media platforms YouTube viewers are the largest referral source of its user base,

You have "social anxiety." You are not in a "moat of low status." The status is purely in your own mind and not something calculated and assigned to you by the world.

Another CEO flying at 30,000' missing the forest for the trees.

The disk is going to report an uncorrected error for one of them.

> it can find a correct copy elsewhere.

Which implies you can already correct errors through a simple majority mechanism.

> or it could be rebuilt through ECC.

So just by having the appropriate level of RAID you automatically solve the problem. Why is this in the fs layer then?
