I call my used telephone booth guy, of course.

Because most people pirating are doing it for their own personal entertainment while these companies are doing it to build a commercial product for sale. Pirates that sell access to their collections get a lot of negative attention, even from other people who pirate like me.

But they all explicitly forbid me from using the work I commissioned for commercial purposes

I fear the courts will side with the tech companies on this as regardless of how illegal or immoral a certain act is, if you do it on a large enough scale it becomes "okay" again in the eyes of the system. Genocide, large scale fraud, negligent financial actions, pollution/poisoning, etc. You dump toxic chemicals into one person's cup and you get the book thrown at you. You dump toxic chemicals into an entire city's water supply and you pay a paltry fine that is never enough to seriously damage the company because that's bad for the economy.

I think you may have a much more generous understanding of the current capabilities of AI than what it's actually capable of. It isn't Data from Star Trek.

People use it because that's where the sellers are at. I also liked Craigslist before but Facebook ate their lunch plus one slight advantage from marketplace is seeing who you're buying from beforehand. It makes it a lot easier to weed out fake listings when you see someone just created their account this year or if they have bad ratings.

Vehicle listings are absolute garbage though as the filtering options are super basic or ridiculous like you can filter by the color of a car but not engine size. I don't know of a single person who searches for cars/trucks based on their color.

You're telling me that Sean Connery isn't Russian? He was so convincing in the role.

Yeah they still rely on base stations to transmit/receive the signals.

There's a reason why AMD with such a lower staff count has managed to leapfrog Intel.

AMD just makes the designs and farms out manufacturing. Intel has to make the designs and manufacture the chips themselves.

Here's another good one with some slo-mo action. You can see it's just a normal pot and what looks to be a single coffee mug full of water. The resulting fireball is massive.

It's a lot more aggressive than what comes through in their description. It can create a giant fireball since the water boils instantly on contact and causes the burning oil to fling up into the air almost like a flame thrower.

Damn bro, women can be surgeons too. It's not 1890 anymore.
