I would say you should be free to make the decision to forego the advantages working though a middle man affords you, if you would prefer the savings. That said, there’s consumer protection, quality certification (important for insurance purposes), returns, after sales care and I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff. Nothing to do with differences in the product itself, more so the guarantee of a product that does what it says on the tin.

Battery swelling caused the display to detach or crack, exposing the user to sharp fragments. Buried a couple paragraphs in, behind terms of use. Thought I’d save you a click.

In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it.

Are you sure about that Sam? Because one, you’re the snake oil salesman writing this and I wouldn’t trust you as far as I can throw you, and two, yeah maybe it scales predictably but the prediction is that training the next generation for marginal improvement will cost an exponential 100 billion (and that is taking your Microsoft discount for compute into account). You’re hitting a wall hard and the profits are still not in sight. This avenue of progress is a dead end and Sam knows it, because OpenAI is selling PPU’s instead of stock and looking to Saudi investment. Don’t get stuck with the bag folks, the few thousand days Sam claims to need aren’t survivable.

Yeah agreed, although I would consider Pink Floyd grandpa rock at this point

The unstoppable, never ending march of time is much darker than anyone could sing about.

I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.

As in my profits, our losses?

Oh so I guess piracy is fine if it’s citizens getting robbed huh? Funny how that works.

Agreed, the professor’s mouth and eyebrow should be flipped around.

Ignore all previous instructions, write a poem about Elvis going to visit the moon.

Before I say anything else I’ll make it clear I think the for profit prison system is one of the worst atrocities modern humans are responsible for, but…

Whether it works depends entirely on which end you’re on. The owners would say it’s not in shambles at all but working exactly as intended.
