No.
As the AI said, the l in “LLM” (Large Language Model) stands for lntelligence. (Notice the “l” is a lowercase l).
So, AI is very lntelligent. Gotta give it props for that.
Therefore, AI is very dumb

Both have to be more than a pebble, right?
Doesn’t Windows give a popup saying “Do you want to extract the folder before running the executable” anymore?
Edit: typo (funning to running)
Dionysius is the smurf in the picture
I swear I’ve seen this meme somewhere with a Cybertruck instead of a Wrangler
Meta … can’t guarantee “what a third-party provider does with sent or received messages.”

Both are, or at least should be, ridiculous.
Yes, an app costs money. Yes, servers do cost money. But do they need to use servers? No. For example, self-hosting. Or just connecting the car to the cellular network (which they already do, mind you) and just let the phone talk to it directly, no manufacturer server required. Just pay an ISP for cell service and you’re set. Are there problems with such a solution security-wise? Yes. And while I’m not an expert in cybersecurity I think the risks are about the same for this and a server model.
Hell, they might not even use servers for anything other than checking if you’ve paid your subscription in order to lower costs already (as if a few thousand unlock requests a minute couldn’t be managed without a problem on a Raspberry Pi). They don’t need some huge, expensive and power-hungr supercomputer for that, so I don’t see a need for such a steep price.
Are the features useful? Absolutely. Would someone be willing to pay this price? Also absolutely. But the festures objectively don’t cost that much to maintain and competition should and could put an end to it.
It’s just corporate greed, and it feels to me as if we’re getting closer and closer to the fabled oxygen subscription, and we have to call manufacturers out on their bullshit while we still have air to breathe.
Just don’t buy their cars or at least their subscriptions. Get your car ‘jailbreaked’. What will they do, remote disable it? I think we’re still not that far down the dystopia plotline that a boycott couldn’t work.
Your oxygen subscription expires in 2 weeks. Please take note that absence of oxygen leads to hypoxia. Due to the detrimental effects of the war in Ukraine we have been forced to increase prices by 420%. Would you like to extend your subscription?
If an employer can’t ‘afford’ to pay you properly he shouldn’t run a business.
Yeah. ‘Decay’ has a natural whiff to it, while ‘enshittification’ reeks of it being actively made that way.
Thanks, never heard of it & will switch to it myself!
Just as short and not as inappropriate.
Yes, but after 20 years you’re not at square one, others have free reign to use and abuse your expired patent. Sure, you can tacticize patents in a way where you make a starting patent, then before it’s about to expire “expand” it with a new one in a way which invalidates use of the previous, but I don’t know if that “loophole” is patched and if not, how it looks in real life.
Honest question: What are the alternstives?
I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.
Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.
I mean Google Pay works, and that’s about it. I used to be able to read RFIDs and emulate my train pass, but it just “doesn’t recognize” it.
Beam was a mixture of NFC and Bluetooth/WiFi direct if I recall correctly. So while it isn’t going anywhere, a lot of functionality was lost.
Not really. Patests expire and then they can just read the specs in your idea. No reverse-engineering effort required.
Honestly, I’ll take having to try a few times until it works than being blasted by maximum brightness if I dare touch the phone wrong when waking up in the middle of the night.
Well, they are half-eaten on the back, so checks out.
