    trying to think of the past here. nobody told anyone they were crazy for not using a smartphone or using a desktop. it’s nuanced but today shilling for AI means shilling for large corporations.

    it’s too bad this tech is built on social media algos. i’m still interested in seeing its use for offline training data.

      Lol, I can tell you weren’t around, because this was an extremely popular sentiment.

        i had a flip phone for the longest time before i got a smartphone and it felt more like i wasnt part of the ipod/iphone group. if anything i remember the data plans were low usage and the early adopters just had rich parents.
