This! China is full of problems. But at the very least, it manages to serve its people over capital (as flawed as that service is). America can’t seem to do anything to hold capital to account, which is why people are terrified of AI taking their shitty jobs.

This should be at the top. I’ve been arguing this for months, that the issue of AI acceleration is an economic problem, not a tech one. That’s why the Chinese aren’t so afraid of it, compared to Americans who have zero faith their government will do anything to redistribute wealth from the future AI trillionaires.

Same. GPT-6 has been a huge breath of fresh air for me. Fixed 80% of the issues I was having with Sol. I just gave it the same task I gave to Sol a few months ago, and it knocked it out of the park comparatively.

Apple did that… eventually. Early iPhones weren’t very secure. Apple only got serious after they dominated the market and reducing the theft value of iPhones became a priority.

Even the cheapest commodity encryption chips have had this capability for well over a decade now, Unlike Apple, Flock are not a hardware pioneer, not by a long shot.

The Android documentation has an example of how to use hardware keys, and a Chinese OEM (IIRC) was found using the example key provided by Android sample code - and yet that was more effort than Flock applied, since their ARM SoC support it.

I was upset and felt like I did something wrong.

The original iPhone was amazing to use. Yes on paper the Nokia destroyed it, as my roommate thoroughly tried to convince me, but browsing the web with multitouch was a revelation and just made the Nokia feel like an archaic tool.

The new phone OS destroyed them along with a few features integrated into the original iPhone all the existing companies were caught completelyflat footed and they spent the next three years debating on what they should do and by then it was too late.

The only reason Google and Android took off? Well it didn’t hurt to have a mole/spy Eric Schmidt on the Apple board.

I mean, is that even a strawman? You can oppose mass AI surveillance and acknowledge the price of that is more crime.

Exactly. Freedom isn't free. If I have to pay for it with locks on my doors and having to be discerning about which truck I buy $5 steaks out of the back of lest my house get burgled or I get ripped off that seems like a pretty fair deal.

Better five guilty people free than one innocent in prison.

I'd like a national poll on this principle. My guess is a vast majority would disagree with it.

I saw Sonic 2 and 3 at a dollar theater this summer with my kid. Both were shockingly entertaining.

Killed my dad the same year he retired. Really stuck with me about how important living for today is.

The alternative is chemotherapy which is even nastier, on average.

I'm not sure conventional chemo actually is nastier than this drug. It sounded really bad. Conventional chemo is less effective here, though.
