TLDR: Who gives a shit?

A. Is it really necessary to split hairs like this here? You come across as just looking for a pointless, pedantic argument.

Obscure characterization of someone else’s motivation != anything useful. (Am I doing this right?)

B. He fixed his list so it doesn’t matter. And if you did see his original list, then you could just RTFA they linked and figure it out.

Being able to say something != Something should be said.

(Yup it looks just as pretentious when I do it.)

I appreciate the correction, but there were two names on that list that were mentioned in the article you linked as having turned down the money. 🤣

This list is fucking inaccurate. Nice job posting bullshit and muddying the waters.

Bing Crosby, of White Christmas fame, was accused by one of his kids, for using a bag of oranges to discipline his kids.

Ok, Bing, no one was asking you for advice.

My company actually got their own internal use AI that supposedly is safe for client information and is firewalled and not scraped.

It is not very useful, constantly is out of service, and I don’t trust for a second that it is secure/not scraped.

Thank you for the reply!

Why this change?

You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

I am glad you have had a better experience than me. I am pretty happy with Pixel now but I am going to try the Graphene route this weekend.

I appreciate your response.

It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I’d have to constantly reset.

The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc…

When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)

I just upgraded to the 9 and assume it’s scraping every bit of data it can from me. I will do it this weekend.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

Not really worried about any Tumu carriers.

Fucking Bravo.

This seems like an incredibly effective operation that simultaneously limited loss of human life (even if that wasn’t a metric or the intention).

Machines killing machines.

That blimp would be particularly vulnerable though.

It would need a pretty robust defense to protect it from missiles/other aircraft

Ooh, more baseless claims of China’s technological advancement.

I’ll file this in the bullshit folder with the rest of their bullshit claims.

Google has gotten so fucking dumb. Literally incapable of performing the same function it could 4 months ago.

How the fuck am I supposed to trust Gemini!?

I only want to disagree about Facebook not monetizing private data in 2008.

My wife was in politics/campaign management. They were already selling fairly sophisticated targeted ads by then.

I was shocked/terrified by how well they were targeting and it wasn’t even close to what they have today.

FUCK CORPORATIONS.

That’s because you looked “other”.

Just don’t do that next time, you should be fine.

(/S, just in case)
