So it ranks higher on social networks that are ad financed. These networks will usually „shadow ban“ content which references illegal things or contains swear words and rank it much lower since advertisers will not wanna put their ads next to it. It’s pathetic.

Also kinda dumb since this post is still about cocaine and whichever ad is next to will still be next to „bad cocaine content“ or whatever.

I‘m glad that the US is progressing in this regard but I just looked up the numbers for DB in Germany to have a comparison: 1.8 billion passenger trips / year and that with a population a quarter the size of the US.

Keep in mind that Amtrack is serving much longer distance routes, so this is far from a perfect comparison.

Open AI‘s newest model is priced at 200 $ / month since they have been bleeding money and desperately need to earn some cash. This is probably the first sign of the bubble collapsing.

The default web interface is very poorly designed and looks uninviting. Sure, there are great alternative interfaces but people will be turned off before they could check them out. Also, it’s usually the first thing you see when someone’s sharing a link.
