Humans are trained by reading things. Why is it unethical for another form of intelligence to learn the same way.

Poor sleep is a widespread problem and very few of those people are cognitively doing it intentionally as some sort of "tradeoff". The number of people "grinding on a startup" is tiny compared to the population of people who suffer from this problem. Instead it's caused by things like general anxiety, too much screen time before bed, or not having consistent sleep schedules. And other health related reasons that compound the problem.

I had a FreeNAS I bought around ~2010 and didn't use it for a couple of years at one point and when I went to use it again I could no longer update it, which meant I was on an ancient version of FreeBSD and none of the modern software ran on. So this literally happened to me already.

Then you need a NAS, a backup process (backing up large collections of movies to S3 is actually pretty expensive). You need to keep your NAS up to date. You need to install / configure Plex, oops that's closed source now, uninstall that and get Jellyfin. Eventually your NAS hardware will be outdated and you'll have to get a new one and migrate your files over.
Even for technical people this is a pain over time. Nothing like just having a disc that can last 50+ years if properly stored.

I'll go a step further, you probably don't need zsh at all. Once you install Starship there's not much difference if you just use bash.

CDs skip very easily so they're not good for portability. So that limits their use to in the house, and they're you're competing with vinyl. Cassette fill a niche in the nostalgia world being something you can more easily use on the go.

One great thing about Forejo is that you can have a FreeBSD builder and on GH you cannot, have to spin up a slow VM.

Also framework laptops work (mostly): https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/freebsd-on-framework
Even if true, not having great support for laptops doesn't mean "no one uses FreeBSD". Obviously it's supported by essentially all server hardware and is used there, as well as many routers and the Playstation.

Everyone who makes this argument always assumes that every website on the internet is a for-profit business when in reality the vast majority of websites are not trying to make any profit at all, they are not businesses. In those cases yes absolutely they want them to be brought down.

The difference is this actually happens, a lot, unlike your straw man. It happens enough that there's a website dedicated to it.

They don't have arbitrary access over your file system. They ask permission for doing most everything. Even reading files, they can't do that outside of the current working directory without permission.

They might not be capable of ingenuity, but they can spot patterns humans can miss. And that accelerates AI research, where it might help invent the next AI that helps invent the next AI that finally can think outside the box.

Yeah I agree, this idea that people won't change jobs if they are on the verge of a breakthrough reads like a silicon valley fantasy where you can underpay people by selling them on vision or something. "Make ME rich, but we'll give you a footnote on the Wikipedia page"

Because it's valuable training data. Like how having Google Maps on everyone's phone made their map data better.
Personally I think AGI is ill-defined and won't happen as a new model release. Instead the thing to look for is how LLMs are being used in AI research and there are some advances happening there.

I've used both, and wound up using Jellyfin mostly because it also does movies/TV and I mostly listen to music from external apps, so a music specific server wouldn't be adding much benefit.
