  • It’s a greed problem. I was perfectly content paying for Netflix but then they doubled the price and halved the content. Ok, sure, whatever, it’s still better than cable. Then other players also wanted a piece of the pie so they fragmented the content by making their own shitty services. Now you have to have Netflix, PrimeVideo, Disney+ and HBO Max just to get a semidecent experience. And yet, despite paying for 4 fucking streaming services, 90% of the movies I wanna watch are still behind yet another fucking paywall within these streaming services.
















  • You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a mathematician does. A mathematician doesn’t do math, a mathematician makes math, so no, WolframAlpha cannot do what average mathematicians from centuries ago did, let alone “genius level” mathematicians from decades ago.

    I like your analogy, though, if all the math you can do can be done with WoflramAlpha, then you’re not a mathematician. Hell, I have a math degree and I wouldn’t even call myself a mathematician even though I can do more than WolframAlpha can. Now, if someone were to use WolframAlpha to develop new math, then I would still call them a mathematician, just like I would still call someone who uses AI to make art an artist.

    As for your theft angle, all art is derivative. Good artists copy, great artists steal and all that jazz.
