Google acquired Android in 2005, years before the iPhone was released.
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoYes, and Google has had its own LLM conversational bot for years, before ChatGPT became a public phenomenon even. So, analogy holds.
- tablespoon 4y ago> Google acquired Android in 2005, years before the iPhone was released. IIRC: That "Android" was nothing like what we refer to as Android today. I believe it was aiming to be a common OS for digital cameras or something. The iPhone caused them to pivot the project hard in a different direction.
- pier25 4y agoThat happened before the Google Acquisition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
