Comment Enough (Score 1) 165

Everything that had to be written (literature and perhaps philosophy-wise) has already been written. We need translators and effective ways to make intellectual production from forgotten places to be more widely known. New books suck and are largely unnecessary.

Quite the opposite, a modern 5G transmitters on the same frequency as a 2G transmitter will provide far better coverage thanks to improved sensitivity of the 5G receiver hardware.

Where are you getting this information from? The typical size of a 5G cell is way smaller than a 2G's. I can't say if the signal is better comparatively within the cell range (probably it is), but coverage is a completely different thing. Also, although the lowest end of the low frequency 5G band is 450MHz, they usually operate at much higher frequencies, whereas 2G works between 900 and 1800MHz. It's less sensitive to obstacles and it improves its coverage.

I have a bigger concern: This is literally rewriting history (from the AI biased perspective). Sure, most of the time this will be used for entertainment purposes, but there will be some cases that for some people -chiefly for those without prior knowledge of the context of the original material- the modified version will represent what actually happened. I can imagine future generations seeing History through the lens of a creative AI algorithm.

Take a look at the Google's Pixel line. Particularly 4 and 5 can be found cheap, they are compact, the camera is pretty good (the 4 even has a radar) and they run barebones Android by default, but you can also effortlessly install LineageOS, e/OS, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, or, if you are into it, shady ROMs from XDA.
