It’s perfect for what my sister in law needs, but it’s not something I would generally recommend
She really just needs a real operating system for her phone for school
We will consider a used M1/M2 used, but I would expect Apple to stop supporting those sooner than the Neo
I’m not a lyricist, but this is at least closer…
Who works for a place that licks AI’s taint
You need an equivalent of ACPI in the x86 space to catch on in ARM/RISC-V if you want a general purpose OS to be viable on phones
There’s sort-of kind-of SystemReady in ARM but it’s a far cry from the standardization of ACPI on x86 desktops
The current Hegseth administration has also removed the requirements for Right to Repair from DOD contracts, so Lockheed can charge as many millions as they want on repairs
You have to convince investors why your AI research won’t hit a wall like LLMs are now - they’ve poisoned the term “AI”
They’re a dead end, insofar as they do all they’ll ever be able to; if you can find use for them at their current level, great, but it does not look likely they will be able to do more than they currently can
LLMs are a dead end, and the massive amounts of money being wasted on them will make people too scared to invest in other forms of AI.
So we are currently at a local maxima that we won’t overcome in 10 years. It will take much longer before we try a different approach to create “AGI,” and the wasted money on LLMs will slow other forms of AI research, leaving us stagnating for >10 years
I currently do, maybe not twice, but about 20% more to avoid them
I also refuse to buy several cheaper car companies because of ads I saw years ago, and bought a more expensive car for my wife to avoid them
I don’t know the price difference, but there’s also a toilet paper brand I will never buy
I’m sure lots of ads work on me, but if your ad is annoying enough, I will pay significantly more to your competitor
I think it’s more a finance bro psyop… “Don’t worry about the shit he’s doing, just keep investing, he’ll give up anyway”
