Is that something that is actually needed for something or just money "laundering"?

It's pretty much only money laundering. Supporters use the privacy euphemism but I've never heard of a legal use case for it, hence the tornado mixer sentence

Ask a bank. Banks do not keep individual piles of cash for each depositor. Why do they put everyone's money into one big pile? See the movie It's A Wonderful Life for the famous monologue justifying the practice.

I'm not sure, for example a lot of people talk about Ford as being a known brand, but see what they did with the powershift fiasco.

A few weeks ago I was in a dealership and they had 5 cars that were basically abandoned by their owner because of problem with the transmission.

Not saying Chinese will behave differently, but big brands aren't as reliable as you think

Maybe they should create an API for llms to use.

I blame google partially for this because when searching for bugs/errors I stopped seeing SO on results and instead I got sites that regurgitated SO's content

Can you blame AI? It's just using all the copywriting "tricks" there are, recommended by the snake oil salesmen that dont' mind tricking people to sell more.

You must have clicked some at some point, all I get when I have ads on is outdoors gear because I've clicked a few of those ads in the past and my "suggestions" are related to that category.

yea all i see when im there is sweaters and sneakers

This is wonderful.

1- Are the birds actual birds species or just randomly generated? How?

2- Do you plan on doing some sort of classification on the messages later? It could be interesting.

Same problem here. In my country at least, the handling fees for the local shipping are around USD10, you can avoid those using a courier but that shipping method is much more expensive.

If everyone decides to do the same activity we die, that's not a really good argument.
