This is a bit unnecessarily tough on independent content creators... what exactly do you expect them to do? Make no money from their content? How would they be able to make a living?

simply reading the browser agent isnt really security
It's not for their security, but for that of genuinely clueless people that are just running an actually outdated browser that might have known and exploitable security flaws.
It really feels like no matter what community you look at on Lemmy, every 3rd post is Windows bad Linux good. It's honestly a bit exhausting. And I've been running Linux for over a decade...
... Yes. Many AAA games this generation can run at native 4K on Series X and PS5, but in most games with demanding graphics you have to choose between that with a 30-40 FPS target, or 1440p and 60-120 FPS with VRR.

... you're getting into philosophical territory here. The plain fact is that LLMs generate cohesive text that is original and doesn't occur in their training sets, and it's very hard if not impossible to get them to quote back copyrighted source material to you verbatim. Whether you want to call that "creativity" or not is up to you, but it certainly seems to disqualify the notion that LLMs commit copyright infringement.
Sure, Patreon is great, but Patreon alone is not enough for most creators to make a living, considering how hard it is to get people to commit to monthly subscriptions.
