I can’t really stand behind and defend boycotting every defense tech investor.

I can. Easily.

By that metric, you can argue Kasparov isn’t thinking during chess

Kasparov’s thinking fits pretty much all biological definitions of thinking. Which is the entire point.

That entire paragraph is much better at supporting the precise opposite argument. Computers can beat Kasparov at chess, but they’re clearly not thinking when making a move - even if we use the most open biological definitions for thinking.

Apple is significantly behind and arrived late to the whole AI hype, so of course it’s in their absolute best interest to keep showing how LLMs aren’t special or amazingly revolutionary.

They’re not wrong, but the motivation is also pretty clear.

Certainly depends on where you live.

Unlocking a Samsung phone is trivial here.

not generations before

If by “Generations” you mean the literal previous generation that was advertised as backwards compatible and where many of the games won’t receive specific patches precisely because running natively and better was one of the key features of the new console… Sure, I guess.

with consoles, it’s 100% of the time

Several Switch 1 games are facing issues on Switch 2, including broken textures, crashes and weird behavior. This whole “consoles are 100%!” idea has been dead since the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation.

I couldn’t give less of a fuck about any company or their “projects”, selling a product is not a mission to empower users and help the world or some bullshit like that.

The promise was that people would literally stop going to real life music shows to watch them on Second Life, buying fake cans of sponsored Coca-Cola and inviting friends to one night stands on their digital flats. Going on for 20 years is not the norm, but not unusual either - RuneScape is older and my neighbors have no idea what it is.

The reality is that we forgot about the game in less than two years and the surviving community is small, even if they pay a lot.

That’s exactly what’s going to happen to AI agents promising to replace an entire department or the creative team in a studio.

Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than your house in the future, this is the world wide web bro

The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internet commentary? I’m shocked!

Just ask Grok to fix the servers, AI is so much better than humans right?

Make sure users trust it so much they can no longer discern hallucinations and lies from reality, then keep the AI training on content generated by itself.

You realize there are Linux distributions that don’t use GNU software at all, right?

That’s the most specific and irrelevant example I’ve ever heard in my life lol

“This car is unusable and nobody will ever like it! Did you know that under the trunk, if you look at it with a UV light, the paint pattern is using a slightly different hue than the rest of the body?”

X is still the single most important platform

No it isn’t.

A guy I know started selling AI push notifications.

Your app signs up for his service, and he uses what’s essentially ChatGPT to find the best time slot to send you custom push notifications. That’s just his third party service working with limited data and system access.

Just imagine when Google and Apple start selling that as a service integrated to the OS.

Or they just want to pay their bills like everyone else
