You really believe that with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in charge of its initial parameters and training, bar any oversight? That stretches hope too far in my book.

Any new technology is subject to the same problems under capitalism, specifically maximising profits to the detriment of anything else. This is especially bad with centralised tools. An AGI wouldn’t just magically take global control.

It’s really difficult to recuperate waste heat spread across such a large space in a way that doesn’t compromise on cooling effectiveness.

Awesome thanks. Also avoids the awful UI and forced login popup.

I really wonder who’s in the market for this. Of course gaming on Linux is viable, but there doesn’t seem to be much reason to buy a dedicated premium laptop for that purpose. In between mobile gaming and handhelds, it seems laptop gaming is on the decline in general.

Same. I salute folks willing to do this, but it doesn’t actually bother me enough to join them even though I’m a regular touchpad user.

They can’t build them that cheaply. They don’t have the same scaling effects as the big brands, and they make an effort for sustainability which is a huge problem with cheap-ass phones.

93% after 1.5 years works just fine for most users who do not prioritize longevity or sustainability over convenience, unfortunately.

Don’t worry. They confirmed it’s highly effective with a third LLM.

It’s mostly to achieve higher IP ratings, and people with expensive phones also tend to pay for things like cloud storage upgrades and expensive bluetooth earbuds.

The people who internalize this would never engage with a chatbot in this way in the first place. To them this is another intelligence they’re conversing with, where you get what you need by following social decorum, and enforcing your will amounts to abuse.

This brings up the question if it’s only about size, or if e.g. dry cereal counts as “uncomfortable”.

The point isn’t to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn’t mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.

Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.

80% of the utterly ass things that Apple pushes on people are on iPhone. iOS is a purely consumer product, while macOS has a decent chunk of the prosumer market which has a lower tolerance for enshittification.

If you don’t know what to reply, then don’t. Seek out communities, posts, and comments about stuff you enjoy talking about. Especially when it’s a positive light.

So in short, this question could have been used in all sorts of ways to provide an answer that clarified the commenter’s position.

I mean, in the way it was asked not really. It was explicitly asked, or rather condescendingly demanded, as a simple binary choice stripped of all context.

That’s not how you engage with someone when you actually want to get their take on a complex issue. That’s how you engage if you want to score an easy win for upvotes. And I for one am done with that kinda hostile “debate bro” culture / popularity contest that’s defined many subreddits over the years. It shuts down any chance for an actual exchange. So let’s not act surprised at the result.

Yeah it was asked in bad faith and framed in a manipulative way.

That’s not a good thing and should be called out, no matter if you disagree with the person it was directed at. It’s called integrity.

The question itself was a cheap gotcha. Shockingly, it’s not as simple as that as I’ve been pointing out. Which you’d acknowledge if you were arguing in good faith.

It’s unfortunate that any attempt to insert some nuance automatically makes me the enemy in your simplistic position on the matter. And now ego prevents you from backing off of this kind of thinking by any means, no matter what toxic and regressive conclusions it takes you to.

I didn’t say the people of South Korea are being subjugated. Not sure how I could have made clearer that these are two separate issues.

You also won’t find me defending NK. Not everything should devolve into tribalism and dunking on whatever we perceive as the other team. Which is exactly what I’m criticizing about this question and the way it was asked.
