one thing that worries me with browsers is that they do need to be adding new features to compete with the native platform
but the selection those new features has so often been mid to say the least

There's the substance of the signal issue, and then there's the pattern of behavior that jay was responding to -- the constant, _constant_ off topic responses that make this tedious.
On the substance, it's really just that the guy didn't violate the ToS. I'm sorry, that's just it

i think the root of this is that at some point ppl forgot that copyright is a _policy choice_ in order to achieve outcomes that are agreed upon as “morally good”, not a moral good in of itself!
I am still agape in horror at the fact that people who grew up on "You wouldn't download a car" became such deranged, bloodthirsty copyright enthusiasts

the smartphone was successful because it was anchored in a very concrete purpose of communication between people
this device would be successful if it was anchored in a very concrete purpose to be a *answer* machine, but we know that the core machine can't be that, so they have to sell it like this

the “concept" does not matter because it’s chatgpt in a box and everything else is UX design to make it seem like something else
