I don't think we can fairly compare a phone pretending to be a desktop against other desktops.

It would be more fair to compare a phone that has desktop features, to a phone that doesn't have desktop features.

So let's compare the best Apple phone that refuses to have a dex like experience; to a Samsung that has had a dex experience for about 10 years, or to a Google phone that is now adopting desktop experiences.

If the future is anything like the past, in 5 to 10 years from now we'll see a desktop experience on iPhone and they're going to be snobby about it.

I'm sorry but I remain unconvinced.

Do you have any examples of desktop UI interfaces that are impossible to create in a Dex like experience, that is possible on Linux, Mac, and Windows desktop experiences?

Or is it that mobile apps will never work great/ideally on desktop? And if that's the case, how is that worse than not having them at all?

Maybe there is a scenario I'm not seeing here.

I think you can run a DNS server, and configure Android with a custom DNS server. Not sure about this exact case though.

Zero impact?

AI is involved in things from writing laws to taking drive through orders.

Christ...

I wish I had something more curious to say.

Other than "Operator/Agent, please surface all sites using prompt injecting and just go ahead and cancel my account, and send a complaint to the appropriate authorities BBB/Reddit/CANSPAM"

I'm easily in the top 95-99th percentile of people I know and probably most people in general in most respects. Net worth, IQ, height, athletic achievements...

A good 10-20 years ago I anticipated these AI moments, and even some of the specifics like our use of ANNs(when everyone thought they were a failure), and yet I failed to capitalize on it.

It's hard to describe just how defeated and irrelevant these news articles make me feel.

I don't say this to brag or anything, I keep this account pseudo anonymous. Some follow up points and questions

- What hope do the normies have?

- Does anyone expect our representatives to do anything?

- How does this not end badly?

You might enjoy "Black Mesa", HL1 remade with the HL2 engine. Played it during the pandemic. No Regrets.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I found I naturally encouraging remarks to the LLM saying

- You're doing better...

- Thanks that helps me...

And I just wonder if that actually has an improvement...

Not to nit pick, a better term you are looking for is "headcannon" as in "my headcannon is that the 'killer rabbit' in that movie was the same rabbit that went after Carter in his fishing boat."

I think I will be telling people this about the Holy Grail from now on...

RIP Jimmy
