Even with the battery charge limit the device will charge to 100% every so often. To claim that this “didn't seem to do anything” is just Apple Derangement Syndrome. The algorithms were engineered to know more than you about battery chemistry.

I don’t think it’s the individual with a single account that precipitated this change, it’s the users with many, many 20x accounts. Anthropic is less clear on their limits, but they have never given bonus usage, so again OpenAI is the late follower (as with adding a 5x plan).

The MIT License exists because in the US you cannot make a work public domain. AI works being public domain is effectively equivalent.

> that’s supposed to be the job of the government by creating policy, regulations and installing watchdogs to monitor things

But that government cannot trust the other government on the other side of the world to implement the same restrictions, so we find ourselves in this Nash equilibrium.
