What do I expect? Mandating open bootloaders by law, banning device attestation and applying existing antitrust legislation. Then if they could give a few millions to some open source communities, that could be the cherry on top

Because tap to pay has nothing to do with Google? Some people just want a phone without the duopoly and nothing else.

I got an account warning on OpenAI (waved after I complained) just because I was asking it how to root some >10 years old Android device.

Have you even onboarded somebody at work? There's a big difference between the newcomer and the dev who's been there for 5 years, even at the same seniority level on paper. And that difference is in the memory. The LLM can work du

Depends what you mean by your comment then, if you want to say that you can direct LLMs to write maintainable code yes sure you can through very strict guardrails, if they can do it themselves, no they can't and need help because of th

I don't think they ever will on the "maintainable" part until their absolutely atrocious memory gets improved at least tenfold. (and no, the tricks we deployed until now aren't enough) They already are better than most h

Open source maintainers just want to avoid slop PRs and it's very easy to distinguish them

I've switched to Kimi personally and it has way less guard nonsense like this.

What a load of nonsense, I can debunk a few of the worst points : - "safe" AI doesn't exist, it's not a thing, AI providers can't distinguish between good and bad use of the AI, the filters they put in place are mos

As a user I can say that journald was a mistake, if you try to reinvent a database, you will reinvent it poorly and journald wasn't an exception.

I doubt Anthropic and OpenAI have enough weight to also make the EU ban open models, it would remain a US thing.

You are right, better locking them out of the Play Store, there's too much risk using it. We could also imagine a 24h delay to get Play Store access with a modal to make them understand the risks.

Well, also expect the next Pixel bootloader to be locked out if they become too big.

The announcement is very funny in that regard, devices with last update in 2023 like the Galaxy S10 are still ok despite having every root exploit under the sun available but god forbid you want to update it to the last version

If it become to big, it will go the same way as CyanogenMod, Google will send some people to pressure the manufacturers to drop them off

Indeed, if there's one thing China did well, it's that they heavily invested in education and have a very education focused culture. And in this field, having an army of well educated PHDs is making all the difference

by realusername 3mo ago
I also don't believe it, if it was as easy as that, we would have hundreds of competitors. The truth that Anthropic and OpenAI will not say, is that these Chinese labs have a lot of talented people.
