"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.

Buying an Android phone is no longer enough — Google wants you to subscribe too (www.androidauthority.com)

Buying Android phone is increasingly just the entry fee for Google’s AI ecosystem.

The direction of travel is clear: Google is pushing AI harder and harder to redefine its ecosystem and bring new, powerful features to users. Android’s core OS remains free, but Google increasingly appears to view it less as a product and more as a delivery mechanism for its AI services. As those services become more central to the modern smartphone experience, many of the platform’s most ambitious features are also becoming subscription products.

I swapped my pixel a few weeks back, and it's been so smooth that I forgot I did

GrapheneOS has been a viable daily driver for most people for quite some time. I've used it for two years now without issue. Even banking apps and the like work apart from some very unusual cases which don't affect me personally.
