If that were true then the Windows phones would've survived. You need the app ecosystem.

That would be a breeding ground for malware.

> WhatsApp is out of the question for a huge portion of the population.

What an insane take this is.

If someone is calling themselves a warmonger, they should be called a warmonger.

To go against moral principles purely for extra money is not "average human." And even if you think it's the case, it's equally as unacceptable as a fascist/supremacist/etc.

You're speaking as if the image of the US as a bully is anything new. It's only Europeans know that are getting a taste of US strong-arming.

That's great for you but unfortunately the overwhelming majority of people do indeed regularly use these features.

I never said it's universally true.

Right. But, unlike AI, we are usually aware when we're lacking context and inquire before giving an answer.

You can't "patch" LLM's in 4 hours and this is not the kind of question to trigger a web search

The timed-reveal aspect is also interesting.

This hypothesis is tested regularly by plenty of live benchmarks. The services usually don't decay in performance.

> But the reality is that the US benefits immensely from free democracies

Would you like for me to start counting the number of times the US helped install a democracy vs the number of times it installed dictatorships?

The poll you reference didn't ask a single country in the middle east (except Israel, of course!) or most of South American countries (half of which puppet governments were placed). I wonder why. And you really argue with a straight face that this is representative of "People globally"? I'd be more insulted by your attempt of slight if PEW wasn't doing the same.

There's no memory to be needed. The US is officially an unreliable ally. They have been for several decades now. They will continue to be so. EU politicians might've been overly ambitious but they're not naive.

Honest to god, everything that Trump is doing might actually end up being that the world becomes a better place. The US hegemony really ran its course.

Why should I bother to read an article that the "author" didn't write? Might as well just go prompt Claude. Or is this about saving tokens?

No I'm saying we can, unlike how it is in China. Besides that point, I think GP is arguing that China is villinized more than the US.

Perhaps they're pointing out the level of double standards in condemnation China gets compared to the US, lack of censorship notwithstanding.

It doesn't matter how it's stored. So long as it isn't E2EE, they (and anyone who can ask for it) will be able to access the drives

That 'Ad' text is literally the smallest text in the entire app listing UI

>advertising, regardless of scale, is the art of turning attention into revenue.

FTFY

You could tell the article is written in a way to try to calm against the major concerns without actually bringing those concerns up. "We won't share your chats and you can turn off personalization!" Hmm yeah there's a missing piece of info here...

"Best" is subjective. Proofs can get very long especially for the harder ones mathematicians are tackling these days.

This is exactly the kind of backwards thinking that pushes people against inquisition and consultation. They people in charge have a good idea of the playing field but it's always good to ask for input.

You do it as part of an international order, i.e. an impartial UN. Though obviously we don't have that yet.

Pretty sure there are plenty but non that have done so so brazenly

Gasses diffuse through the air very quickly. Having a few high-volume extraction points would be enough long-term.

tbf that user was indeed being a dick

English is also not my first language. I understand the challenge, but I'd recommend to write it in English and then ask AI to suggest rephrasing in wrong or poorly phrased sentences. Right now it looks almost entirely AI-generated unfortunately and does not show the thought you had when writing it. Cheers.
