This is a war yes but Cloudflare already lost it. Cloudflare bypass is the hello world of bots, they just keep hobbists out, at most.

I'd rather focus on the fact that neither coal or gas seems to go own.

I don't see a path forward for valuations like Anthropic, either the hardware requirements fall off a cliff (and why would people pay Anthropic so much if it runs on a cheap laptop?) or either they don't and they will never have the capabilities to serve all their customers (and why would they be valued so much then?).

It's a lose/lose situation here for Anthropic (and OpenAI) whatever happens.

Isn't that similar to a Veracrypt volume as a file?

It's happening, although it's just the beginning

Pretty much the same thing inside tech, I love AI for my personal projects but the productivity return in my dayjob has been slightly negative so far.

I've covered that in the second part of my comment, even if you deliberately exclude GrapheneOS (not sure why you would as it's used by high profile targets), Apple still isn't #1

If it really is still on "Android 11 / Linux 4.4" as per the document, there's probably tons of root exploits

It isn't, the most secure phone is GrapheneOS.

And if you only take into account stock phones, stock Pixels are still above it as per exploit costs.

So they are basically 3rd or 4th place if you add some other Android flagships into the list.

> It's more that developers and FOSS enthusiasts are a vanishingly small fraction of their customer base.

Maybe it's because direct installs are too hard to do already? Fortnite tried to go to that route and failed, if Fortnite couldn't make it who can?

And let's be real, I'm not going to accept any talk of "security" from Google when I type "chatgpt" in the search bar of the play store and I have an app with a counterfeit logo coming up at the top spot.

They absolutely aren't "fancier launchers", they changed absolutely everything, they have the iOS settings, a fake appstore.. have a look on youtube on fake iphones.

IPhones copies didn't wait this project, some people already have a full iOS reskin of Android which is very close unless you really know what to look for.

The law has superiority over the EULA, they could probably get away with disabling online multiplayer with concerns of cheating but I don't see any legal basis on how they could take away purchased games. That would go against any consumer right laws.

I also don't think remotely bricking/banning the console is legal in the EU.

The software is absolutely terrible, I absolutely don't want to pay for that, it's not worth any money. Xcode jank and its lacking documentation looks like we're still stuck in 2005.

If they want to charge for an SDK, they have to invest some money to make it feel that we're paying for something.
