Yes, your examples make sense in their own context, but are not relevant to the case of scraping publicly available data.

In short, who's getting put out of business for redisplay or derived data uses of publicly available data?

a service exposes some capability without authentication, ergo you're authorized to use it

How is this different from scraping publicly available websites? i.e. why would you get in trouble for one, but not the other?

Terms of service for various companies and other long and boring documents.

OK, fine. Do you have a working example of this? e.g. he's a contract, and please find me the unfavorable and / or non-standard terms. People have tried this before with no success, and it would be great if someone finally made some headway here. Even more points if the GPT things find onerous terms, but says, "hey don't worry about this non-compete bit, it's not enforceable."

Salesforce will print money for a few more years until someone makes a less awful CRM solution and just crushes their business.

This statement undervalues the lock-in Salesforce has. One should probably make migrate-from-Salesforce tool and sell to all the new VC funded CRM shops. You could be selling shovels during a gold rush.

This floored me. One because in my mid Atlantic area nearly every house has a heat pump. When house shopping many years ago we never saw a listing that didn't have one.

Is this really possible? Is every house in this area less than 20 years old, or occupied by a well-heeled and environmentally conscious homeowner?

I agree, it's impressive. But still not at the level of useful. For example, I would never use any of these generative art images in company ads or marketing materials. They're not in the uncanny valley, but closer to that than something one would commission from a designer.

We use other signals as well: time of day, ip address, new cookie logs out old cookie. At the end of day we are dealing in probabilities, but we can definitely find the most aggressive sharers.

I hear you what you are saying, but the counter argument remains: The only way you can get ESPN is purchase ESPN (plus the rest of basic cable). For the most part, you can buy basic cable over the top (sans ESPN). So given the state of play, it seems the inelastic demand for ESPN and its one purchase venue is the subsidizer.

So tell me Johnny, why did you leave Amazon?

My boss told me to go back to office, and I said no f'ing way--fire me! And they did.

Probably not a great conversation to have on your next interview.

We’ve included diagrams, illustrations, challenges, and over 600 new interactive examples.

600! It's hard for the competition to keep up with that.
