Well, if that's how it worked before, they must've changed it. I installed it last night without paying and it never blocked me.

Doesn't sound that weird. More people means more people to serve, so more service jobs are needed.

I distrust crowdsourced recipe websites (allrecipes for example) because 95% of the time the recipe is plain bad so

I would say that's just a flaw of recipes in general. There's so much variability in the ingredients, especially when it comes to whole foods, that you'll rarely be able to just follow a recipe exactly and get what you intended.

I don't know how experienced you are with cooking, so I'm not sure what kind of advice would be appropriate. Assuming you're completely new, I would recommend just starting with roasting or boiling with oil and salt. I would say 90% of my vegetables are done this way. It's extremely simple, which makes it great for most home cooked meals. It also greatly reduces the number of variables you need to tinker with to learn and get things right.

I don't see how going from car to proper city planning is any harder than going from not-car to proper city planning. This just feels like an extra unnecessary step that could be taking resources away from the city planning part.

That would be nice. If you're talking about generative AI, then call it "generative AI" instead of simply "AI".

So you should really stop calling it laziness. It's doing a disservice to yourself and anyone else suffering from the same issue. An inability to complete simple tasks when your brain is actively working against you is not a character flaw.

we can only do that in our fiction

At present, yes. The hypothetical is in the future, possibly in one where we've developed interstellar travel and we can be the ones visiting the alien planet.

Another one of the million projects in my backlog that I'll never get to.

There's one major problem with this kind of website that I've been wanting a solution for, and it's that people often only leave reviews when they have an exceptionally bad experience. So when you see a product with lots of negative reviews, does that mean it's actually bad? Or is it just a very popular product, so lots of people will find issues with it? I think the solution to that is some form of review pre-registration. When you buy something that's intended to last a while, inform the review website of that purchase. Then if something goes wrong and you leave a negative review, you can see what percentage of purchases are affected.

since they are by definition far beyond our technology

How so? Aliens aren't going to suddenly come into existence and have super-human technology in that same instant.

Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.

I've heard a lot about the Rwandan genocide, but this is my first time hearing of OP's thing. It's more interesting to read about something novel, which is probably why you see more of this being shared.
