Samat suggested the next phase will go deeper by “re-architecting” Android itself so AI can handle tasks more intuitively and naturally.

Please stop. Get help.

Why would we care what he thinks about phone cases?

The fact that he considers sideloading to be "drama" really tells us why we shouldn't care about anything he says.

You've read the headline but not the article, clearly, and you lack the critical thinking skills and life experience to surmise that he at no point called it "drama" and that's just what the website says.

You've just read a headline and posted an agitated, antagonistic comment about the situation without any basis on facts.... You're the drama that the headline is referring to.

The phone case bullshit is just a diversion to dilute public attention pn the other matter

"We will have a flow that allows more sophisticated users to install software that has not been verified,” Samat said, confirming that this process is still being finalized."

Cool ambiguity until it's too late

“I think Android 17 is moving from an operating system to an intelligent system”

Is he learning nothing from Microslop's bullshit? Who exactly is asking for this shit?

I was thinking I may get a new phone this fall as I'm still on a pixel 6, but maybe I'll wait it out a few more years for this AI shit to get better or die off.

The only thing these dirt bags listen to are investors.
