i think the root of this is that at some point ppl forgot that copyright is a _policy choice_ in order to achieve outcomes that are agreed upon as “morally good”, not a moral good in of itself!

I am still agape in horror at the fact that people who grew up on "You wouldn't download a car" became such deranged, bloodthirsty copyright enthusiasts

the smartphone was successful because it was anchored in a very concrete purpose of communication between people

this device would be successful if it was anchored in a very concrete purpose to be a *answer* machine, but we know that the core machine can't be that, so they have to sell it like this

> "The concept is that you should have a friend who’s a computer who isn’t your weird AI girlfriend . . . like [Apple’s digital voice assistant] Siri but better”

the “concept" does not matter because it’s chatgpt in a box and everything else is UX design to make it seem like something else
