I would say you should be free to make the decision to forego the advantages working though a middle man affords you, if you would prefer the savings. That said, there’s consumer protection, quality certification (important for insurance purposes), returns, after sales care and I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff. Nothing to do with differences in the product itself, more so the guarantee of a product that does what it says on the tin.

Battery swelling caused the display to detach or crack, exposing the user to sharp fragments. Buried a couple paragraphs in, behind terms of use. Thought I’d save you a click.

On the face of it this sounds perfectly legit. If you take drugs responsibly you’ll be happy for a while.

In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it.

Are you sure about that Sam? Because one, you’re the snake oil salesman writing this and I wouldn’t trust you as far as I can throw you, and two, yeah maybe it scales predictably but the prediction is that training the next generation for marginal improvement will cost an exponential 100 billion (and that is taking your Microsoft discount for compute into account). You’re hitting a wall hard and the profits are still not in sight. This avenue of progress is a dead end and Sam knows it, because OpenAI is selling PPU’s instead of stock and looking to Saudi investment. Don’t get stuck with the bag folks, the few thousand days Sam claims to need aren’t survivable.

Lofi girl, I don’t have to think about a playlist, it’s easy listening that soothes the hyperactive monkey that lives right behind my prefrontal cortex.

I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.

Oh so I guess piracy is fine if it’s citizens getting robbed huh? Funny how that works.

All those negative things are happening in a society that implemented mass surveillance so clearly it doesn’t help. Recording a crime doesn’t prevent it and if there’s no incentive or funding to make sure justice is served afterwards the recording is useless. I think you’re mistaken in who this surveillance is for: it doesn’t exist to improve your life but to empower corporations and state against you.
