This will be my last comment here. I cannot in good conscience support this kind of bias. Fired off e-mail cancelling our team subscription, we will redirect the funds towards, unsuprisingly, actually useful stuff - more AI tokens.

Pointing out that there are huge externalities imposed on public resources by your "actually useful stuff" is bias? If so, then so be it.

Sorry to see you go; maybe you'd like to commiserate with this other reader about the biases in our reporting? :)

I'd suspect that snajpa's main concern (and also my concern, to be honest) is your lack of response to the preceding comment. This comment is, as far as I am concerned, utterly unacceptable.

I am sorry. I was very angry when I made. Will control myself better in the future. Just... Certain usage patterns advocated by people in the AI usage camp are, from my point of view, irresponsibly reckless at minimum.
