  If we took the words at face value, I don’t think we could label anything we’ve built AI.

  I remember 9/11, but not the fall of the Berlin Wall. And I was about as far away from both as you can get.

  I know. And some of that money, funds development, and some of that development includes security.

  Yeah, I’m not so young. Like, I agree with you on one level,.it gives the company less control to rug pull on you and slide in a whole heap of enshittification. It’s the shitty behaviour of some companies that makes subscriptions painful.

  Yeah. I’m on a two year streak. Pretty close to letting it go and moving to something else. The free version is getting completely garbage.

  I think a robot with sentences is just ChatGPT.
