There was even a movie with Antonio Banderas about it! (The 13th Warrior)
In the TV series Vikings they reach the Muslim kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula

Good. It's difficult to imagine a worse use case for LLMs.
Yes, there is. AI assisted homemade neurosurgery

Thanks. Got a plain made: “The content is not available in your region”. I’m actually happy the website content is a simple html document instead of JavaScript bloated with capitalism surveillance trackers
The lengths people will go to to cheat in sports is super interesting - sometimes more interesting than the sport itself! There should be a global all-sport annual prize for red-teaming (against the cheaters).
And the black maillot for the most powerful doping chemicals goes to…

Everyone wants you to install their app these days. Install my app to turn on the lights, install the app to see the menu at a restaurant, install the app to read information about an archaeological site, install an app to open the automatic doors.
As you said, it's 100% the wrong approach.
You will soon be unable to cross the intersection unless you manually turn the light green from your mobile phone or wait until another authorised driver does it, in order to protect the children

And it literally blocks users from using messenger in the mobile browser, I need to ask for desktop website
Websites shouldn’t know if you’re on desktop because they are clearly gonna abuse that bit of information.
Web browsers were designed by naive, pre surveillance capitalism developers
A same day flight to Mexico is $1000 where I live. Other countries seem to have figured out healthcare. The US can too.

Here is the experience when clicking a link on mobile:
* Page loads, immediately when I start scrolling and reading a popup trying to get tracking consent
* If I am lucky, there is a "necessary only". When unlucky I need to click "manage options" and first see how to reject all tracking
* There is a sticky banner on top/bottom taking 20-30% of my screen upselling me a subscription or asking me to install their app. Upon pressing the tiny X in the corner it takes 1-2 seconds to close or multiple presses as I am either missing the x or because there is a network roundtrip
* I scroll down a screen and get a popup overlay asking me to signup for their service or newsleter, again messing with the x to close
* video or other flashy adds in the content keep bugging me
This is btw. usually all before I even established if the content is what I was looking for, or is at any way useful to me (often it is not).
If you use AI or Kagi summarizr, you get ad-free, well-formatted content without any annoyance.
I send the link to another browser, one with JavaScript disabled
What an asinine response.
Why though? You demand a service that you can get cheaper abroad. You can’t change the health system but you can travel to a socially developed country that hasn’t yet fallen victim of corruption

What if people just paid for services they use and depend on frequently
If people were just paid for services that used them and manipulate them with tracking and behaviour profiles
