• I want to start hanging in those forums and offering to sell “how-tos” that answer these questions. Just scrape all of the old posts and run it through ChatGPT for a summary, and sell it like an ebook.

    There are only two things stopping me: first, I’m just barely held back by ethics; and second, I am entirely uninterested in learning enough about it, or in spending any time lurking in the forums reading posts.

    I suspect it’d be a relatively easy income stream, tho.

      I would have no qualms about doing that ethically speaking because they don’t pay their child support and their kids are referred to as their biological property and end up in foster care with massive cavities.

      • Yeah, I get it. But they’re still people, and probably generally not on high end of the intelligence bell curve; it feels like taking advantage of a handicap. I dunno; it’s about me, not them, and I don’t want to be a grifter.

        If you steal my entirely original and patented idea, I ask only that you report back how much money you’re making.

          I will file IRS form 5B/W00-5H stating that my LLC is using your LLM in a non-commercial voluntary transaction between two non-person independent and stateless entities not subject to US Corp Patent Law.

          • See, you can already talk the talk, and recite the secret magic incantations.

            sigh. Now I’m going to have to see what I can get out of an LLM in terms of material. For science.

        Plot twist: Bones is the real mastermind of the entire SovCit movement, creating content on both sides. Writing up the entire “legal theory” that they buy into on one side while also posting here mocking them. An arms dealer of idiocy.

        /s

        But if you ever do go into that business, do you want a partner?

          I feel like I could by now totally write a series of books or something, sell them to sovcits and make a killing. Wanna come along?

            Hmmm. Like a how-to manual with testimonials and all? Sounds fun. You’re right that it needs to be a series- a small audience means that you have to hook them as repeat buyers.
