Does Microsoft think things behind paywalls are fair game for LLMs too? (I know this isn’t Microsoft, but I bet OpenAI got around paywalls toooo…)

The Gilded Age in American history refers to the late 19th century, roughly spanning from the 1870s to the early 1900s. It was characterized by rapid industrialization, economic growth, and significant wealth accumulation among a few elite individuals, often contrasted with widespread poverty, labor exploitation, and political corruption. The term "gilded" suggests that this era appeared prosperous on the surface but was fraught with social and economic issues underneath.

During the Gilded Age, the Supreme Court played a crucial role in shaping the legal and economic landscape of the United States. One significant aspect was its interpretation of federal power versus state power, particularly regarding economic regulation and individual rights.

In several key decisions during this period, the Supreme Court often sided with states' rights and limited federal authority over economic matters. For instance, in cases like United States v. E.C. Knight Co. (1895), the Court narrowly interpreted the Sherman Antitrust Act, which was meant to regulate monopolistic practices, leading to a reduction in federal power to curb industrial monopolies.

The rationale behind the Court's decisions often reflected a judicial philosophy that favored minimal interference in business practices and economic affairs by the federal government. This aligns with the broader tendencies of the Gilded Age, where laissez-faire capitalism and limited government intervention in the economy were dominant ideologies among the ruling class and influential policymakers.

Therefore, the relationship between the Gilded Age and the Supreme Court's stance on federal power lies in the Court's tendency to limit federal authority over economic regulation and its rulings that favored states' rights and corporate interests. This era marked a period of significant judicial interpretation that shaped the balance of power between state and federal governments for years to come.

This is why companies like Apple are at least a tiny bit correct when they go on about app security and limiting code execution. The fact it aligns with their creed of controlling all of the technology they sell makes the whole debate a mess, though. And it does not excuse shitty behavior on their part.

But damn

And if they got this past Apple in their platforms. That’s even wilder.

They probally figure they can put a lot of this (or already put a lot of this) on YouTube and split the profits with Google. Cuts down on overhead.

I stopped vaping flower in early May and I’m feeling much better as a result. Far less anxiety, more time in the day and clearer thinking in general.

I’m back to a baseline I didn’t think I’d ever have again.

Having dreams again is really good for me.

If you are considering quitting, it’s worth it.
