Yeah, most effective illegal hackers are working for intelligence agencies or criminal organizations. The legal ones work for companies.

The ones "for the people" are very few.

The bottom bar ain't staying though if everyone does it.

Well from a professional here: It is.

A missing rate limit is a vulnerability, or a weakness, depending on the definition. You're playing smart without having an idea of what you're talking about. Here you go:

YouTube videos are public, and as such it's not really hacking. If you were able to download private videos, for example, it would be a vulnerability like "Improper Access Control". It does not matter in the least whether you use an "exploit" in your definition (which is wrong) or "just increment the video ID".

The result is a breach of confidentiality, and as such this is to be classified as a "hack".

That's not an unpopular opinion, it's an outrageously stupid and uninformed one and you should keep it to yourself.

With Gemini you can let it show you search results for (some) of its statements. It's useful for cross-checking: I was, for example, researching plastics recycling and there was a claim that seemed untrue and corporate. The automagic search/source function for that statement led me to a blog post of some consortium/lobbying group of manufacturers. After telling that to Gemini it apologized and compiled a list of different view points for that specific statement.

I was pretty impressed with that, and I find it very useful for researching topics I know basically nothing about. Of course it's not the sole source of truth.

That's not how this works. Maybe if you get some business consultants, but this ain't it. Just because you hire them yourself, doesn't mean that they'll fall in line with your wishes.

You're assuming that they don't know that, lol. They do. It does not matter because people keep shoving money up their ass and number goes up.
