Content owners / data companies are going to all have to close up shop. If this is the direction we're now in - how can they stop their content being ingested into models/recalled …

You could start consulting / freelancing - use that to earn more for less hours (making an assumption thats true for you). Use the extra time experiment with finding a product busi…

I agree the desktop conference speaker/mic setups are really good - not just for your own space - but also for huddling with others. I've been using the Poly Sync line and I'm real…
