They want to turn redditors into instagram whores haha.

I wonder how battery usage compares on a MacBook between these 2 and Safari.

Why would they incur the cost of retrofitting their factories or production process for a small minority that wants removable batteries. If there was enough demand they’d know because they’d market it as a feature and profit from it. Truth is normies don’t care or prefer the look/feel of soldered batteries and unibody slim phones. I’d personally like all phones to have an unlocked bootloader but I know that’s not what the market wants and manufacturers rarely offer it. I can’t force them to make one for me so I just ignore them and buy the one with an unlocked bootloader.

The market has spoken. If there were enough normies who would want bulky phones with removable batteries they would buy them. But they don’t… They want shinny unibody phones with locked bootloaders and proprietary connectors. Only a small minority cares about these issues.

Your “bot generated shite” position wasn’t compelling at all.

GPT doesn’t prevent you from doing whatever you want.

Do you think humans don’t just “churn out text” at a basic level? Do you think humans don’t make mistakes or don’t confabulate? The confusion is not that we think too lowly of LLMs rather than that we think we are very special as humans. LLMs like GPT-4 have “sparks of AGI” in them, they are not just stochastic parrots. There are several academic papers that prove LLMs uderstand meaning. GPT-4, the full model, not the crippled chat variant for consumers, demonstrated superhuman coding abilities when researchers probed it’s abilities. It passed Google and Amazon coding interviews with 100 out of 100 score and finished the 2 hour assignment in 3minutes surpassing all human candidates. And it took it so long (3m) only because a human had to paste in the tasks.

Unlike reddit this is a free speech zone so no.

A short story of about 10 to 20 pages.

Something that can’t be stolen is not property. You can only copy a stream of bits not steal. You can also replicate it to infinity. A pound of gold is real property. You can definitely steal it and you can’t replicate it.
