Honest question, because I'm not part of that scene (yet) at all: I seem to remember that I have read mentions of GrapheneOS for years now, but does this news mean it has been practically vaporware the whole time? Google making Android

It does, assuming "world" is made up of humans (which it is, in its training data). It does however not have any model whatsoever of itself, apart from some superficial "I am a helpful assistant built by $X".

SO Apple just got granted that there effectively is no "outside the AppStore" when it comes to iOS. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and now they've attained it, they won't give it up voluntarily. You have to force th

LLMs output the average of their training data. On average, people are tasteless and clueless. So it's to be expected that average and especially below-average people find LLM output appealing. Or the tasteless work of an average perso

It doesn't scale as a consumer good. Letting go of consumerist habits is just as hard as breaking any other habit. Also, it could just as easily be faked, like so much else. Even if someone offered such an assurance, I wouldn't tr

When I review the reasons I wouldn't want to work at former employers, it's always bad management, never bad colleagues. If this is what it's like where you work, you should run.
