Oftentimes I am badgering ChatGPT to give me links so that I can double-check that its answer is correctly grounded in reality. This "Search" seems to be a mode that prioritizes that.

Making life difficult, expensive and unprofitable for patent trolls benefits everyone, not just Cloudflare. I expect that many of these people didn't see themselves as helping Cloudflare, but the community of everyone who might be targeted by patent trolls.
We don't know how different, and how good, things can be until we try.
Until some of us invest in discernment, invest in the art of it, and the rest of us give it a listen or a look.
Some cultures end up adopting the new level of discernment wholesale.
And in some cultures, the refinement slowly slips away and things revert back to the sloppy, lazy, easier-to-sustain base level.
As others have noted, our time and attention are finite. Both as producers and consumers of culture. I care about some things and ignore others, both as a producer and a consumer. We individually and collectively choose which aspects of life get the attention and the love.
That's absolutely right. The problem can be mitigated by focusing on specific roles and locations, though. You don't need that many candidates if your client only hires SWEs in SF. Our approach is to capture a maximum number of companies per vertical before expanding.
