It's the first iteration of what will eventually be an on-device Siri/openclaw that not only has full access to your messages/docs/emails/life, but also has live audio access to what's going on around you. Reme

They just know they can't afford the power right now to do it. They would if they thought they could get away with it.

Hoping that one day they'll let me go through the identity verification process so I can use it again. Tried to upgrade my subscription, triggered identity verification, verification fails to even start, and now I can't even use t

Upvoted but felt bad for not replying. Yeah, I initially read it as a generic "big corps exploiting open source devs" take as well. Not often someone actually says "whoops you're right" so kudos - not sure I would&#
