>> Question can be marked as duplicate without an answer.

> No, they literally cannot.

You missed that people repeatedly closed question as duplicate when it was not a duplicate.

So it had answer, just to a different mildly related question.

LLM are having problems but they gaslight me in say 3% of cases, not 60% of cases like SO mods.


Please feel free to show examples.

> It is as though people think they are being insulted when they are immediately given a link to where they can get the necessary answer, by volunteers.

Multiple times my questions closed as duplicates of question that was answering a different question.

Even when I explicitly linked that QA in my question and described how it differs from mine.


> but it's just silly to imply that everything it can produce is slop

that is why people use slop qualifier, rather than not using qualifier


> Google has been announcing quarter after quarter of record revenues and profits and hasn’t seen any decrease in search traffic.

this kind of things may take some time to spread across population


where?

> What is Amazon doing in country X that should be taxed?

its profits within that country (income minus actual expenses)

in practice expenses are fakely inflated to transfer tax payments top jurisdiction with near-zero taxes


How can profit be calculated if a significant component of expenses is intellectual property and brand awareness which was paid for somewhere else?

Amazon can add up the costs to install and operate a datacenter or warehouse in country X, but most of the demand for services from that datacenter or warehouse will be due to expenses incurred in country Y.


Would you take 5% chance of earning 100 dollars if it would cost 1 dollar?

You cannot just scale down the numbers and pretend like the world around you doesn't exist. There isn't much I'll do with 1 dollar. There's a shitload Microsoft could do with 10 000 000 000 dollars.

Opportunity costs are a thing.


There actually becomes a point where there’s not that many things you can do with your money when you have so much of it.

This is especially true when your investors/owners expect you to generate better returns than the risk-free rate.

> The new Trump-class battleships will replace the Navy's previous plans to develop a new class of destroyer, the DDG(X).

both of these are NOT documentaries, they wildly misrepresent reality and are basically fiction


"unquestionably"? Given that vast majority of ads are for harmful self-destructive projects or misleading or lying or make place where they got spammed worse... Sometimes multiple at once.

Spam alone (also advertisement) is quite annoying and destructive.
