> I'm really sad that those people keep releasing those tools to other people via cookie-cutter websites filled with misinformation instead of just enjoying them privately

I have been feeling an increasing self-imposed pressure to get more done with AI. Similar to the feeling I get when I play factorio too long. It's like the frontier of possibility has radically shifted and I feel almost guilty for not jumping into it. Tugging at me..

I just experienced this in a conversation. An analogy offers an opportunity to engage with the straw man and miss the forest for the trees.

Why would Apple be a party here at all? Would Sony be a party if someone records another with a walkman?
