My initial thought is that someone may have deliberately triggered the model to respond this way through what looks like mundane messages but actually have different character encodings of some sort.
Disclaimer: I have a website where you can play it: https://litafl.com/
I've heard deals with prices in the range of $0.5 to $5 per tonne CO2 equivalent. There's also a decentralized protocol that aims to move these credits onchain (https://toucan.earth/), their BCT (Base Carbon Tonne) token price is currently around $3.1.
As stated in the post, last year ~$1B worth of credits are sold. One McKinsey report expects it to be around $50B at 2030.
There are much more details of course, but these are the basics as I know.

Validate demand: You should understand whether you can launch a very crude version/maybe no product but customers lined up to pay you for your thing which'll become ready soon and get some validation from the market. If you can't do this, what makes you think that you can do it after you quit? Stay at your job if customers are not ready to throw money at you. If you can see solid demand, you should validate yourself.
Validate yourself: Do you think you are mentally prepared? Do you have enough savings? You probably have the skills to create a product, but do you have the skills to create a company? Will you enjoy working on this for the next 5-10 years?
On savings: Do the math for yourself, but in order to be able to work without financial stress, you should have enough money for = ((number of months you foresee your startup to take off) x 2.5[correction for you optimism] + 3-6 months[It'll become hard to work stress free and irrational to continue if you don't have something solid, so better go get a job now]) * (amount you think you'll need in a month * 1.3-1.5[you are also optimistic about your expenses])
- It is not possible to create significant wealth by freelancing
- I work on things I do not care. I want to think/spend time on important things
- Chasing down payments is stressful
- Finding new clients requires some effort
Therefore, I decided that it would be much healthier for me to get a job that pays well and not work as a freelancer.
1) Bounties: Some mechanism for people to easily pay $100 for fixing the bug, $1000 for implementing a feature, and so on. If Github takes care of the payment part, I think it can even be used in big companies and would definitely incentivize people. Sites like bountysource.com show that the model already works, it just has to be handled by Github so adoption would definitely be higher.
2) Second one is more ambitious: Although bounties are a nice way for people make money, it still cannot allow people to just focus on their OSS work, since it does not offer a revenue stream. Github should become what Youtube is to video creators. If Github were to share a percent of its revenue with OSS maintainers, that'd make a huge difference in the OSS space and in the world.
This recent tweet from the creator of ESLint captures the essence of the status-quo really well: https://twitter.com/slicknet/status/1086053326007881728
It looks like the product is not yet ready, and it is just a collection of HTML/CSS templates at the moment (as already stated in the FAQ). As I understand, there is no process which turn designs into code right now, and this statement from the upgrade page seems like an outright lie:
> Some features, such as the AI based trace-and-export, are pretty heavy on our servers and start getting expensive fast.
since How does shots work? section in the same page does not mention anything about uploading, and the Upload a shot page simply redirects to an Airtable form.
I love the idea of launching early, but is giving the false impression that the product is ready, and charging for a subscription on top of that really ethical? You may claim that you are actually charging for accessing your collection, but it does not appear that way from your homepage and links shared on PH and HN. Please do not mislead people.
Some variations include T-spin and allow T-shapes to rotate in place and allow clearing 3 rows simultaneously, which in my humble opinion, make the game a bit more fun.
If there won't be any demand for this tool in a few years this could mean 2 things: Either people think it's not worth it (in this case, you don't lose anything by not using it) or there are better/cheaper alternatives (and you can use them)
Very impressive work. Best software purchase in a long time.
