There’s a lot of reasons;

1. The people who run these businesses have grown incredibly wealthy by taking investment to grow. They do not need to be profitable
2. Selling inference is massively profitable. They lose money on model training
3. If you’re suggesting they build a “product” that is profitable, I would argue that’s a bad idea- it’s a high competition space. The people selling AI are in a much better position

Those are obviously scraped as well?

Same is true about non-slop projects

A brief google search suggests he was arrested for being part of Antifa/evidence obstruction?

Edit:

Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record, by transporting a box containing numerous Antifa materials, such as insurrection planning, anti-law enforcement, anti-government, and anti-immigration enforcement documents and propaganda from Sanchez Estrada’s residence to a location in Denton, Texas, intending to conceal the box’s contents and impair its availability for use in a federal grand jury and federal criminal proceeding.

edit: Not sure why I’m downvoted for providing facts. The post says it’s about zines when it’s not. You can think Antifa being designated as terrorism is removed and you’d probably be right, but the post is still wrong

According to some website[0] he still owns 2%

FastVPN is known for astroturfing online communities, which has serious ethics implications, and brings into questioning what they’re willing to do with the VPN data. Educated users know not to use FastVPN.

Same. Lostcity.rs is the best RuneScape forum

Did it really though? Ruffle is a reimplantation of Flash in Rust, and is available as a browser extension. Anything short of malicious swf files will play. So it seems that any “security issues” were clearly mitigatable.

I love Wikipedia and have donated a lot of time and money, but damn is their foundation wasteful

Your relationship is not normal. That is very weird. I’m not saying it won’t work, but I am saying this is very wtf worthy, so your parents aren’t squarely in the wrong here to be taken aback

How much do you tolerate before switching sides? Think about Windows vs Linux. People don’t switch.

Once you are ready to go public though you need to be stable and secure

Is that really true though? If you have a product people actually want, they’ll use it regardless of bugs

Going slow doesn’t mean you don’t break things either. If you don’t want to break things, you need test plans, logging and alerts

You don’t need to go to the hospital for a sprained ankle

What is the proof it’s a lab leak?

If we’re gonna put on tinfoil hats, I’m gonna call out the poop samples in Europe that had COVID detected in them one month prior to the outbreak in Wuhan

That’s not how evidence works but I appreciate the thought
