Yes, which is the price-fixing I was talking about. There doesn't need to be an overt agreement to fall under price fixing.

Which is exactly what was described in the article.

Price fixing, whether explicit or implied from conduct, is absolutely something anti-trust regulations were designed to prevent.

I think it's less to do with the fact that ads exist, and more to do with how intrusive they are. Early YouTube ads were pretty tame compared to the ones today, especially when it was just banner ads.

You've made it clear that you would vote Republican if the Democrats don't support AI.

And since you have said it yourself that it would be voting against people's rights to do so, you've made it clear that you are okay voting against people's rights if it means voting for AI, which is exactly how the rights of everyone get eroded.

You've said, repeatedly, that you would vote for AI over rights. It's your single issue, and have even pointed out that Democrats can support both, but if they don't support AI you'll vote against them regardless of what their opponents support.

No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

Edit: I think you're starting to realize that you've blustered yourself into a corner.

Need I remind you of your initial comment?

Delay llama 3 and I’m voting for whoever runs against Biden. No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

No exceptions also includes even if the person running against Biden wants to take away your right to vote or bodily autonomy.

But you've said it yourself, you would vote against other people's rights if it meant fewer things, "getting in the way of open source algorithms."

Reading comprehension, you lack it.

Your life, liberty and health aren't under attack, so you don't give a shit about the life, liberty, or health of others. That's what, "fuck you, I got mine," means.

Edit: Also, the irony of you talking about, "everything you have will be slowly eroded away," while proudly saying you don't care about the erosion of the rights of others is not lost on me.

Like I said, epitome of, "fuck you, I got mine." You don't care about the rights of other's because yours aren't under threat.

Your health, life, and freedom isn't under attack like those groups listed. All you care about is if you get a fancy new toy, and to hell with everyone else's rights.
