Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Never offer unlimited on a utility model without guardrails. That’s just business 101.

That's ISPs default model and they're very profitable

They don't sell you data, they sell bandwidth which is very much limited.

...but then also sell your data, just not as the primary source of income.

By that argument chatgpt is limited by how fast they answer questions. It's just a silly blanket statement that doesn't hold up

I don't understand your analogy, but what I said is not silly.

Internet service providers sell you access to the internet. They don't own/create the data on the internet, they provide you with a connection. Just look at the packages they sell. It's bandwidth. (Except in some markets they have data caps but that's bullshit rent seeking)
