Well, the alternative ROM scene has been active as long as Android has, so I kinda doubt Google hasn’t thought about whether their software is actually soft and squishy like the name implies, and easy to remove or modify.

I think you might be right, but it’s a little silly to think Google would only install spyware on a tiny fraction of their phones that they somehow had a premonition that GrapheneOS would be installed on.

The user base of Pixel phones is small? What?

Lol I think I struck a nerve

I kinda love that response though, I’m going to save it. You can tell it’s not even from a chatbox, it’s just kinda too unhinged. Like ‘oh you are curious how I view the ethics of my actions? You must hate cancer survivors.’ I think ai bros do like to think of themselves as pushing the bounds of science, they don’t see themselves as consumers.

I mean, machine learning is great. I was replying to someone talking about using generative ai to make photos, not a doctor or a data scientist, to my knowledge.

What do those pictures add to the story? Do you believe that because you’re privileged enough to run it locally, that makes it ethical to use for you specifically, but not others that rely on datacenters?

That’s not true, the eggs in mayonnaise are usually pealed first.

Yeah. Sorry I didn’t see this.
