IT folken! If corpo borporate boss ever tells you to erase the security footage and/or logs, remember these magic words: "Sure just send the request in writing and I'll get right on it."

Nope people are just acting like ChatGPT is making commercial use of the content. Knowing a quote from a book isn't copyright infringement. Selling that quote is. Also it doesn't need to be content stored 1:1 somewhere to be infringement. That misses the point. If you're making money of a synopsis you wrote based on imperfect memory and in your own words it's still copyright infringment until you sign a licensing agreement with JK. Even transforming what you read into a different medium like a painting or poetry cam infinge the original authors copyrights.

Now mull that over and tell us what you think about modern copyright laws.

Not sure what industry you're in but that sounds like a fair wages and training problem, not an ambition problem. Most people are content to advance in an industry for the sake of job security and professional development, even if they don't have a particular passion for the specific job role, as long as they are being compensated fairly and see a path for advancement or transferable skills.

It's a catch 22 because if you already know the seller but are opting for their Amazon vendor e-commerce channel you're undercutting their business by taking Amazon's promo discount on shipping today and forcing the seller to make up the difference in vendor fees. Then when your favorite reasonable merchants that balance price and quality get squeezed out of business by cheap knockoffs competing on the same platform in 1-5 years you'll wonder why you can't find quality products of that type anymore except from niche boutique merchants who have to charge even more to ship quality to your door than they used to.
