Some may be closer to break even, but openAI is tens of billions in the hole (something like 13.5 billion net loss in the first half of the year alone).

Cheating to get around parts that aren't fun for you is just valuing your time. I'll cheat any way that improves the fun of the game. Sometimes, that's extra ammo or money or materials I don't want to grind for.
That said, my favorite games are still Souls games and the only "cheats" I like there are ones that make the game harder.
Sure. We already do that some. But we do the same basic thing around not believing rumors and that doesn't obliviate the harm they do.
