Sustainability seems hard for most people to understand.
Ahhh look Alliance trying to make it look like it's the governments fault their premium is this high by listing the same tax twice, once in bold.

AI ate my homework
Only Microsoft would release a tool where if you search for something by text you have to specify that it should be an exact match...

"Former journalist and Liberal staffer Charlotte Mortlock has launched a new political party named “Something Better Australia”."
Adviser: The name could be something better...
Mortlock: OK then we'll call it Something Better Australia!

A lot of people are pretty rude to people who are trying to understand and evaluate the current llm AI firehose of both hype and substance. There are things that are useful here, there are many dangers. You don't balance this by screaming abuse at people.

@hsza@social.tudbut.de @ryan@m29.us it's not crippled, they offer the ability to rebrand your copy and add some corporate stuff. Corporate users who want this can pay and help the open source project survive instead of sponging off their work.
Also it's open source, you could change the branding (note, I haven't looked at the licence)
