can't wait until this is just completely bypassed and we can ignore Google again.

There's not really a way to bypass Google if they don't want there to be, and that's what they're moving towards. The only long-term solution is to cut Google out entirely.

Motorola with GrapheneOS is an interesting prospect. The space is ready for disruption and the tools to do it are more available than ever. Maybe it will come from the EU. Who knows, but Google overplayed their hand, IMO.

Also, let's be clear about the mobile landscape right now. Many apps aren't written in Java or Swift, but instead are being transpiled from other languages like TypeScript and using UI libraries that aren't locked to the mobile platform itself.

When a new mobile platform enters the space it will require some react-native and capacitor glue code and we are in business.


Motorola with GrapheneOS has all the same failings of any other custom ROM.

Which failings in particular?

Not being able to use tap-to-pay, various banking apps, some work apps, for example.

I have seen tap to pay work before with other ROMs

basically every app is a tab. this is how I run i3wm. full screen tabbed layout. smaller modal windows still appear in their normal smaller windows in front of the current full screen app.

Louis XVI would not disagree.


Technically, I think the blade did most of the brain damage to Louis XVI.


no, it is because of the public perspection of Anthropic holding a principled stance against allowing their software to pull the trigger and kill humans. ChatGPT still has the bigger brand name recognition.


Anyone who's used both Claude and ChatGPT will instantly agree what is better by a large margin. Theres maybe a brand recognition long tail but its more likely theyre the rare occasional users who use the free tier. Thus ChatGPT is becoming the shitty free AI app while Claude is what you use to get real work done. Time (in months) will tell yow this will go.


If that's entirely the case, there could still be interesting implications, as people who switch to Claude are unlikely to switch back to ChatGPT in the near future. (If, that is, they regularly use LLMs for any technical or professional task.)


Open AI had first mover advantage.

Sam squandered it.


I guarantee you the people downloading these apps aren't thinking about that. They use what works best.



How would most people know what works best? Most people are only using one.


they were having a sale on jock straps.


As usual, the corporations benefiting from supporting war and subverting the rights of everyday citizens is rewarded by massive subsidies by the capitalist state.

Anthropic currently is winning the public sentiment war, but OpenAI is being established as another to-big-to-fail capitalist regime institution.


Nobody believes that.


coming soon to a town near you: indentured servitude.

hopefully they will at least have nice bunk beds in the corporate dorms.


Soon? Most people pay taxes on their income and have a mortgage for their home, or even worse pay rent.

Slaves used to have the option to purchase their freedom.


Nah, they can save money by buying larger beds and making employees share the beds. A single king-size bed can fit 4-5 employees.


> A single king-size bed can fit 4-5 employees.

... at a time.

So if you also run three shifts that's 12-15 employees per bed!


Exactly right.

On top of this, they're going to have mandatory bed position assignments. Just like you currently can't choose which desk you're going to sit at, and have to put up with the most annoying person on the team as your deskmate, in the near future you're going to have to cuddle with him/her at night too, whether you like it or not, and regardless of his/her bad hygiene, just because your manager decided to stick you two together.


> in the near future you're going to have to cuddle with him/her at night too, whether you like it or not

A solid solution to reduce heating costs. Maybe one can go a step further and remove the bed though, a large mattress (or let's say rubber mat) should be enough.


It's most efficient if you can figure out how to get them to sleep standing up.


Stand on Zanzibar


This has already happened. During the industrial revolution sharing bed shifts was common. You just rediscovered the reason why worker protection laws have maximum working times and forbid employers from demanding outside of working hours.


Don't worry, the employers will make sure these worker protection laws are all rescinded, so we can go back to workers having to share beds. The workers are happily voting for this, because they believe regulations are bad.


The smart ones have to share a bed and start a family together so we can have better future employees.


That reminds me of the grim lodging houses described in Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier.
