"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage... I don't trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I'm doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn't loaded with shit even exists.

Previously I've used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.

Hadn't heard of Ulephone, but I like what I'm seeing so far!

What model do you have? A lot of their phones look like they have a thermal camera, which could be really useful (temps get pretty extreme where I live, so being able to see heat-leaks in my home could help to insulate them).

Also thermal aside, how's the camera? I used to think more megapixels = better, but have since found there's a lot more to image quality than just pixels (focus accuracy, good color saturation, etc).
