This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Its my computer device. Only I should have say on what shit is installed on it and runs on it.
All this chatgpt and Gemini etc shit is a front to get government surveillance Ai data centers built.
None of this is about us, it's about New government and transitioning to a modern digital age of profiling, surveillance, and control.
We are being played out.
It's like nuclear arms race for the future control of the world.
God is dead. Universe is dead. We are slaves already and our last thread of connection to natural humanity and essence is going to be taken.
And everyone that complains about it helped fund it for decades buying all the stupid shit that they never needed to entertain themselves instead of seeking truth.
Even the debates against chatgpt etc are a distraction... They are building the surveillance state while everyone complains.... Because they know that's how psychology works.
I wouldn't doubt it if some of the healthcare info hacks happening are sponsored and that data is being used to beta their new profiling. Kind of like how they torrented for llm.
That's alright, they'll suck it up eventually. Along with 'age control' de-anonymization.

I'm not going to embrace the spyware, thanks.
If we put aside the environmental damage and the capitalist aspects of LLMs, I fail to see why I should change the way I use my devices to let some hallucinating algorithm do stuff. The only times I use it is when I'm really stumped coming up with relevant search results, and even then there's more than 50% chance that it's not gonna achieve some break through.
I don't want Gemini. I want Google to Keep Android Open.
The biggest use case for Gemini is the enshittification of Google Search.
I hate to say it but most the time I use chatgpt is for saving on something that frustrates me so much. Search something, let's say... What temperature is chicken good to eat at, the first few articles will be a life story and why undercooking it is bad and about 800 words later is your answer. So frustrating.
all I want was improvement to Google Assistant. I don’t want Gemini. I don’t want AI I don’t want any of this. I just want basic improvements to Google search and Google Assistant. Is that so hard to ask for?
But but but that's not going to turn any billionaires into trillionaires, now is it? Honestly.
I have a Pixel 10, first thing I did was to install LawnChair 16 launcher to remove the fucking google search bar, and I never use assistant/gemini, I have never talk to my phone too. The only thing I used that is nice is the "press and hold bottom screen then you can circle anything to search for it" I must say this is useful, instead of screenshot and going into google lens or whatever.
Go grapheneOS! The best thing to do with a damn pixel. No more battling with google.
I know, but I use tap-to-pay with NFC for like 10 years now and could not live without it :-/ I have no more wallet.
Else I would use any phone with a custom ROM, I agree...
I would think it would still work with the sandboxed google installed. Not tried though but it would still be vastly better, as Google's severely castrated in their sandbox 😁 Worth a shot if you hate the rest.
