I’m sorry for being late in Spanish.

Disregard arithmetic, acquire uwu.

Spec bumps are pretty irrelevant now anyways. Phones are currently in the land of diminishing returns for performance. They’ve been ‘fast enough’ for some time now, and the only thing that breaks them is software, not hardware. Newer hardware is marginally more efficient, so that’s the only real world benefit.

I miss the old days of android where they were trying all manner of wild ideas. I want variety where one company has an eink screen protector. Put a laser pointer on a phone because… Because. Where are the projector phones? Maybe some crazy transformer phone with modules that all clip together to turn into a robot. Sure, they never sold well, but they were cool to see.

I forsee a lot of psychopaths in the future. Kids are going to grow up with LLMs and learn to manipulate them as just objects. They may not draw a distinction between other people and AI and just act extremely manipulative with no sense of conscience toward actual consciousness.

Ha! These look so old. I don’t rememb- fuck. 4.

The trend seems to be that capitalism works great for new and emerging markets. It incentivises optimization, and businesses will naturally try to min/max profit. Once the product/service/resource is ubiquitous enough to be nearly mandatory, the min/max of capitalism tends to push for conglomeration. Once that happens, number must go up, so they cut corners and dilute their own service or product to enshittify it to extract more profit.

I say once a service/product/resource is a staple of the society and effectively mandatory for a person to have, a free, socialized, option must then exist. It must meet the minimum demand for a person, while still having better/higher tiers available- but the encroaching free option is then the main driver of competition.

Right now, a lot of capitalism markets don’t have any real competition, so they have no real incentive to genuinely improve.

Market self regulation assumes informed consumers that are smart enough to know what things mean. Also it assumes healthy competition and companies that are competing to make the best product at the chrapest price. It ALSO assumes brand lotalty isn’t a thing, and consumers are judging things purely objectively.

Like, i understand the idea, but in practice there are a ton of caveats.

That’s why all the AI are trained on six fingered people- it’s Inigo still looking for his father’s killer. It’s like some kinda terminator spinoff.
