Also, take the opportunity to also attack freedom of the press, dehumanize trans people, and delegitimize scientific research and healthcare.

To shreds you say?
At this point, it's just better to boycott all large or for profit companies by default.
Yeah, most of the open source models that do the upscaling were meant for anime waifus. Also, cartoons don't often have things out of focus in a frame like live action does.
I've tried upscaling an old cartoon from 1080p to 4k using some open source models and it worked quite well. However when I tried to add frames with interpolation, it added a bunch of frames that were quite horrific, especially during quick movements.
I also tried to upcale a 90s live action class so I could see some of the details the instructor was showing. It was not near as good and even without frame interpolation, there were a bunch of new artifact glitches that were added so I didn't keep that version.
I see the logic, and I'm not really sure if I disagree with it. But is it possible that the time you took with those books you decided to continue could have been better spent? Even if some of those you didn't initially like became favourites later? I am going to assume that you also have favorites that you did actually like initially and didn't have to push through an initial burn in phase. If that's true, then you would have missed out on the slow burn favorites but might have found more favourites that didn't have the slow burn which you haven't gotten to read yet.
If you don't want to keep reading, then don't. I'm not your mom.
There's so much media that I'm sure can hook people and if something fails, then just move on to something else. We have the world's knowledge accessible to us and more information than any one person can ever hope to consume. It's OK to be picky about what you spend your time doing when time is your most valuable resource.
If you want to have commitments, make them to communities and those important to you, not to media.
If you want to use large language models or other generative predictive models (I refuse to call it AI) then I suggest considering self hosting those models for ultimate control of the information you provide.
1, if you don't like it, then try something else. You could even read a book.
Ponzi schemes require someone to make a profit as they return a portion of the investments and keep the rest. As a public service, there's no profit to be had during the distribution of funds. So no, it's not.
