@kaye the juicero was expensive and drm locked but my understanding is that at its core, it in fact *was* a very good juicer.
Unlike LLMs.
I mean if not juicing anything makes it a good juicer. (It just squeezed DRM capri sun-like pouches)
@Maverynthia @kaye the point is that there is a useful, though expensive, machine inside all the enshittification of a juicero.
LLMs don't even have that. There's no way to jailbreak one to make it useful.
How is it even useful? It didn't juice anything. People were getting better mileage out of cutting the pouches open (which had DRM on them) and squeezing them by hand.
DRM circumvention involved scissors or a knife... so.. it'd be silly to put someone in jail. Then again DRM circumvention legality changes by state, country, etc.
@Nentuaby @travisfw @Maverynthia @azonenberg @kaye Nobody was arrested for Juicero circumvention because A) it’s not clear that you are “making a copy” by juicing fruit, so the thing you are circumventing is arguably not a copy-control mechanism at all, and, more importantly, B) juicero the company never had any significant amount of economic or political power.
Plenty of people went to jail or were economically ruined by equivalently trivial and ridiculous DMCA circumvention cases.
