The word of the day is "schadenfreude"

Just as soon as all his buddies buy up stocks

$5k is at least one order of magnitude too small

I'd rather move to Linux than give any more money to Microsoft

The solution is quite simple: don't voluntarily give any private information to chatbots. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy when using chatGPT or any LLM hosted online.
