From what i can gather I think it's about travelling, and returning home to have a barbecue and drink white wine.

Maybe outline:-1px solid #000; and then bump the border?

I think that the American muscle car approach of chasing AGI with more compute, and synthetic data is doomed. The industry needs to pivot towards an efficiency driven with smaller more specialized models, a lot of cursor's could be done on device and only call the server for complex cases

Euggh, I hope it respects the OS accessibility prefer reduced motion setting

Copyright the mechanism by which we currently disallow plagerism

Under that model then all culture becomes highly vulnerable to censorship via the platforms? Protection of Freedom of expression then would require democratic control or open sourcing of the content recommendation algorithms?

Do you believe someone will be able to make a living when people cannot find their work because there are thousands of slightly worse knock offs that are produced for almost zero cost gumming up the search results?

Yes, not strictly true, artists need money to live, & copyright is the mechanism by which they get it & a lot of suits on their backs too. We could have Arts councils & grants instead, that requires higher taxation & a bureaucracy to administer it instead, so more state intervention & higher taxes

Those are consumerist, and based on tangible physical needs. How does intellectualism, art or democracy work in that case, cultural is intangible and cultural workers need to be able to pay for food, shelter and clothing too

If you can't sell creative works, without them being digested and regurgitated, then how do people make enough of a living for new creative works get made?

Environmental concerns aside (which are grave and awful) it's a speed up if you use it as as a tool.
You don't need to ask it to decide things, you can just make it do your typing for you. It works best when you do the architecture, it does the syntax

The republicans are now anti-republican

I haven't seen it yet it all. Just a hollow simulacrum, for technical writing it's helpful but nothing creative of the worth of even a poor human writer. I think that the people who are working on tuning the model know what good programming is, I don't think the same can be said for literature

It's only really helpful for computer programming and engineering stuff, and it sucks at creative endeavours... So I think it's very domain specific. It's an awful writer and is toxic poison to tone, brevity & style
