I run a small VPS host and rely on PayPal for payments, mainly because (a) most VPS customers pay that way if you aren’t AWS or GoDaddy and (b) very good fraud protection. My prior venture had quite a bit of chargebacks from Stripe so it went PP-only also.
My dad told me I should “reduce the processing fees” and inaccurately cited that ChatGPT told him PayPal has 5% fees when it really has 3-3.5% fees (plus 49 cents). Yet he insisted 5% was the charge.
Yes, PayPal sucks but ChatGPT sucks even more. When I was a child he said Toontown would ruin my brain, yet LLMs are ruining his even more.
In Dune, thinking machines are banned. Not even calculators are allowed. Complex maths is done by trained savants. I’d argue a calculator is AI, since it’s a humanmade device that can extrapolate information from information. That’s the definition of intelligence.
