Oh god, it's so painfully accurate.

My point is that just because you find the success of Tailwind Labs surprising does not mean that it "shouldn't" be a multi-million dollar business. Neither you nor I get to decide that.
> Money laundering is a criminal offence by which the proceeds of criminal activities, such as fraud or bribery, are converted into assets that appear to have a legitimate origin.

Such a move would also presumably be incompatible with Apple's highly lucrative search engine deal with Google.
If you're more likely to be caught due to the surveillance, logic would dictate that it's the greater deterrent.
I'm unclear what you consider reasonable due diligence in this case. Should the protagonist have assumed that the gym API was unauthenticated, and that the agent would discover this?
The point is that different people have different priorities, and retiring in your mid-twenties to enjoy your many millions is a perfectly reasonable choice.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) have accused Jane Street (JS) of market manipulation, JS claims it was legitimate arbitrage, and the case is still ongoing [1].
As I understand it, the ban only applied to Indian securities (not Asian markets as a whole), and was lifted back in July 2025 after JS paid ~$560 million (the alleged ill-gotten gains) into an escrow fund. They don't appear to have resumed trading, though [2].

The original comment states that the person in question already had a suitable graphics card to hand, so it did not require a monetary investment.
GP clearly states that "someone who is into that that stuff" was guiding the process, so it did not require a significant time investment.
> I'm particularly calling out the hypocrisy of the original comment. Being Anti-AI, and then spending hours on setting up a less than frontier AI model.
I see no hypocrisy in the original comment.
You've also assumed the skeptic in question doubts the capabilities of AI. That may be the case (like you, I have no idea), but they may also have privacy concerns, in which case a local model is the appropriate choice.
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of AI.
It's quite clear that the author means AI writing is now good enough to cause confusion and speculation as to whether a given piece of writing was human-authored.
The confusion and speculation caused by your nude transit adventure is about what the hell you're doing and why.

It's easy to do the right thing if you use the right tools, as they were designed to be used.
It's incredibly difficult to do the right thing if you insist on using the one hammer in your toolbox.
If you want to move the goalposts to suit your argument, go right ahead; I won't be participating.
I have no idea if that's accurate, but let's assume for a moment that it is.
- Vue supports JSX, but it is not the default.
- Angular does not support JSX.
- Svelte, which you neglected to mention, does not support JSX.
- Solid does indeed use JSX, as of course does React.
So two out of the five main SPA frameworks don't even support JSX, and another doesn't typically use it.
As I said, you may have stabilised on JSX, "we" have not.
I have no idea what this means. The World Wide Web itself is quite literally hypermedia.
The fact that a lot of front-end frameworks appear hell bent on ignoring this fact doesn't make it any less true.
> Again, the reason we have finally stabilised on JSX is because you can't really "Declare" away HTML or sophisticated data and event management...
You may have stabilised on JSX, "we" have not. React is one way of building web applications. It's appropriate for a certain subset of highly interactive SPAs, and completely inappropriate for many other things.
> Anyone in Europe can download and run a Chinese model and serve it up on the open internet to people in the US.
That's a very charitable way of saying "someone with deep enough pockets can ignore the law and get away with it."
2. There's incredible value in what they stole.
3. IANAL, but I don't believe "but now everyone can write like a terrible version of the writer we fleeced" is a valid legal defense.
As to the argument is that (only?) the Chinese labs are training on my data, I find this almost comical given the amount of highly-personal data companies such as Meta and Google have been harvesting for decades.
This does not bode well for the entire AI industry.
