This was an interesting article! While there is an argument to be made for an “AGI Manhattan project” I’m not convinced that companies like OpenAI or xAI will be of much value to a project like that at all. It would be like if the US government took over Joey’s Really Big Stacks of Dynamite Emporium in the 1940’s.

No means no leave OP alone jfc

It’s definitely possible. It’s possible with a custom Android ROM.

There are are also a few phones in existence now that do basically what you request: https://www.thelightphone.com/lightiii

Shorts should have been a different app in the first place

This is a guess but I feel like it was around the time that most coding was done for things that weren’t explicitly “programs”, like web design CSS/Java and smartphone “apps”.

They must be doing some voodoo since Tidal doesn’t let you use the same account for multiple concurrent streams.

What’s going on here? Is it just pulling from someone’s Tidal account?

That was actually super helpful, thank you.

That’s cool, it just… does those things? How does it connect to those apps? I can’t even get Gemini to set a reminder and that’s on a Google device.

OP said coding AND “some automation”, what is being automated?

Just curious, what does “some automation” entail? I thought LLMs could only work with text, like summarize documents and that sort of thing.

Calibre-web Automated is even better

Same, very seamless. So far I’ve only encountered one game (requires EA launcher) that didn’t run.

duck.com is great and I’ve only ever had a few times where it wasn’t accepted.

I understand their reasoning. There is a (good) argument to be made that orgs like this should stay on Twitter if only to remind people to delete Twitter (I believe Cory Doctorow does this with his account). It seems like they thought this through.

Commercial software can outrun open source temporarily but it rarely ever wins the race.

Oh this is kinda cool honestly

I read it twice and it still doesn’t make sense

This may be a dumb question but isn’t OTA TV still basically exactly what you describe?

How would they know? I assume they must track IPs used by popular VPN services?
