I feel like some mysoginists would get stronger with the excuse of “you don’t like misogyny, then why are you still a woman?”.

but you can, it’s about as likely as having one from a thigh-job but is technically not impossible.

maybe if it was able to do anything useful (like tell me where specific settings that I can’t remember the name of but know what they do are on my phone) people would consider them slightly helpful. But instead of making targeted models that know device specific information the companies insist on making generic models that do almost nothing well.

If the model was properly integrated into the assistant AND the assistant properly integrated into the phone AND the assistant had competent scripting abilities (looking at you Google, filth that broke scripts relying on recursion) then it would probably be helpful for smart home management by being able to correctly answer “are there lights on in rooms I’m not?” and respond with something like “yes, there are 3 lights on. Do you want me to turn them off”. But it seems that the companies want their products to fail. Heck if the assistant could even do a simple on device task like “take a one minute video and send it to friend A” or “strobe the flashlight at 70 BPM” or “does epubfile_on_device mention the cheeto in office” or even just know how itis being ran (Gemini when ran from the Google assistant doesn’t).

edit: I suppose it might be useful to waste someone else’s time.

or over wired systems that are older

it also emphasizes the importance of knowing how the items built into your house work.

caller id is the thing that tells you the number. it isn’t cheap to forge, but it’s the only way a scan could reasonably effect anyone with more than half a brain. there is never a reason to send information to an unknown SMS number, or click on a link from a text message from an unknown number.

if the cellular carriers were forced to verify that caller-ID (or SMS equivalent) was accurate SMS scams would disappear (or at least be weaker). Google shouldn’t have to do the job of the carriers, and if they wanted to implement this anyway they should let the user choose what service they want to perform the task similar to how they let the user choose which “Android system WebView” should be used.

is Alaska included? or are we just ignored because of our small population?

not everyone is opposed to seeing gore on their racism app

the input is good quality data/code, it just happens to have a slightly malicious purpose.

fate news, a real truck would be at least 3’ taller

that 6 year old clearly needs to learn the importance of silence. A commercial airliner deserves no praise, flights are no more special than train rides or bus rides.
