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."

And maybe backup those logs to a thumbdrive if you feel comfortable with that.

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.

This is how distopias happen. Hell this is how fascism sneaks up on people if they aren't paying close attention.

I wasnt disputing your margins report but that it makes for perfect competition. Why are you assuming low margins necessarily lead to better competition? With low margins, volume dictates the winning business in the unregulated marketplace. Big businesses monopolize and then one day have more leverage over their margins than the marketplace itself. Not a problem when antitrust laws are enforced but those laws have had their teeth pulled for the last 30 years.

You seem disturbingly fine with allowing children who legally aren't old enough to listen to directions, or assume personal risk, to work in places where not following direction gets you killed.

accept and understand that

No, don't accept and understand that. Question that and investigate the implications with a modicum of critical thinking.

They won't be releasing anything until the depositions or criminal investigations force them to disclose all the grisley details.

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.
