Well, the poor seem to have smartphones as well XD — Uganda for example has 54% smartphone ownership. But in terms of vaccination rates, education, access to clean water, access to electricity yes things are ever improving if we look at statistics on global wellbeing. "In 1981, 44% of the global population lived in extreme poverty. By 2019, that figure had dropped to just 9%." So inequality may be huge today, but it doesn't mean the bottom hasn't also risen dramatically.

New benchmark shows top horses struggle in real guard dog behavior

Eventually going to end up in a landfill because no part is replaceable or repairable. And if the app/software support ends, it becomes an useless piece of plastic. No thanks.

AGI? No, although it's not there. LLMs? Yes, lots.

Any other application of machine learning such almost instant speech to text? No, it's useful.

> Every time I shared Wanderfugl with a Seattle engineer, I got the same reflexive, critical, negative response. This wasn't true in Bali, Tokyo, Paris, or San Francisco—people were curious, engaged, wanted to understand what I was building

Believe me, the same reflexive, critical, negative response is true for most of Europe too

> AI renders their disagreement moot by violating the premise they shared. When your talents become training data harvested without consent, when your creative work becomes parameters in a model, you’re being used as a pure instrument.

I wonder if the "vibe coders" can fix their own code. Or find a very subtle logic error in it. Hell, I wonder if someone with access to AI can fix a bicycle if they haven't even touched a spanner.

Since when GitHub is a blogging platform?

It’s not, but it ranks better on Google than any blogging platform. If you search “Filezilla Pro Download,” it appears on the first page. Since the goal is awareness, strong visibility on Google is essential.

It's more of a Yelp review platform in this case.
