Even the system spell checker in Apple devices points out grammar mistakes. Vale works on the command-line, Grammarly was already a thing before publicly available LLMs. There are also editors like iA Writer (iA, not AI) which highlight clichés, adverbs, nouns, and more.
The legal history is a bit more complex. TLDR: assholes that were BASE jumping in Yosemite in the early 1980s did things like throw burning barrels off the top of El Capitan and take trucks on trails not designed for vehicle traffic.
Comparing the number of BASE jumpers (small thousands) and the number of hikers and climbers (millions) BASE jumpers just can't have the political influence for access.

I started a project this year similar to this with rats. It’s now two axis with tracking and a stereo camera with depth detection. The amount of hours I’ve spent on it is astounding but I’ve learned a lot!
Also, ended up swapping the Pi I started with to a jetson.
