Not with a DoD contract they won’t

I agree, they start to sound desperate to keep their current momentum going. I think the bubble will burst soon. Things look solid until they’re not.

This seems just as toyish as did dinnerplate sized drones 2y ago. So chances are I’m wrong again.

I’d say not before the bosses and shareholders agree to take 50% of their compensation in the form of AI tokens.

These fucking leeches…

It is quite obvious that it’s AI

I like how you make your point, but the soft power of the US is over. As pointed out by others, the current administration is a sympthom, not an aberration.

US may have military primacy and the reserve currency, but neither can restore the loss of the appeal it had between post-ww2 and 2020. When tourists get deported after months of incarceration and we see videos of masked federal goons shooting people in the face, that is something else. When allying with the US gets you humiliation, threats, or even missle and drone attacks, that just does not seems like the smart move. So, respectfully, with friends like the US who needs enemies?

Wishing you best of luck getting your country back tough.

AI generated sh*t will be our doom but fck it, we’ll go down :rofl:

But… they’ll operate on builtin mini nuclear reactors, just like submarines. They’ll go years without recharging!

– emusk (probably)

Yeah, and the next scene is where a bunch of obese federal goons climb out of their unmarked suvs to kidnap a few brownish kids and shoot some of the parents in the face.

No, wait that isn’t fiction. Those things did actually happen.

This does not sound plausible.

Whatever may come, there is one sure thing: nobody will trust the US ever again. It may take the old allies a while to find their footing and they may still be dependant on the US. But that relationship will be more like that of the abusive caretaker vs abused teen. Biding their time until they finally can exit the dependance.

Seeing the source (FT) and the Rubio directive, that anonymous qoute from the “European military official” may have come from some hungarian puppet.

Source code of what? Unfortunately, none of the above is anywhere near enough.

We need locally available ai models that can run off-line. Also: the ai context and history must be kept separately from the model itself.

If the ai model needs to communicate with the outside world, user needs 100% transparency and control what data the ai sends.

Great news for the EU! But don’t anybody think this is it. There are powerful interests behind mass surveilance. And selling more ads is just one of the least malevolent. These interests are probably not done trying to earn a € or $ more.

That’s easy. Just a matter of leaving them off. /s

Seriously, be careful what you wish for! Hw vendors have been trying locking people out of their own devices for decades. Throw in the current trends of big tech and in a dystopian, but possible future you may not be allowed other devices than approved by the powers that be. Russia’s Max(?) app, anyone? Or the Chinees counterpart? Different kind of computerless, but there you go.

In other words, this is a self-defeating wish. I hope not many people fall in the trap of adopting this standpoint. Wishing reality away is not a good strategy.

Of course OP may have just attempted sarcasm. Which is fine.

Who knows, in a year or 2, when tech has moved forward, they FP may release a camera module with better specs. Because of the phone’s modular assembly, that camera could be swapped. I think this is a beutiful concept.

Subjectivity was implied, stating the obvious does not add new insights.

You could have, e.g. by pointing to some of the things you don’t like. This way other readers could decide if they care about the thing. For example, FP6 is does not have a folding screen, which would have been nice. On the other hand, that would have added anothe couple 100s of €s to the price and would have ruined servicebility. So I’m glad they decided to focus on an affordable phone that gives the owner the option to replace parts that they legit sell via their site.

Wel that is subjective, but I’m happy with my FP6. ymmv

Based on the limited experience with a few devices (LG), the SoC in TVs are not new pieces of tech. At all. They seem old and underpowered crap. Similar to DVB-T sticks available for the price of 2 pizzas and a pack of gum on AliExpress.
