Sure, you can remain silent and refuse searches... not sure how long you'll be "detained" for that obstructing justice and/or interfering with their duties charge(s). And, not sure how good the butt of a rifle feels against your forehead. You can refuse to let the TSA rifle through your luggage... let us know how the cavity search goes.
You _can_ do a lot of things, the end result of doing those things might be good or bad.

Wonder if he could get away with it if he'd rebooted his phone into a secondary OS (like dual-booting Windows and Linux) that looked normal, just didn't have much to really show (complete with a separate /usr/ partition with some useless info stored in it)?

So, they'll just give up, then... like they have with cars' infotainment systems? Cool! "Alright, boys... let's pack it up and go home. The nasty AI won't be put in a toaster, after all!"

That's while the manufacturers still make the non-smart ones... when the only choice on the market is a smart fridge, well... I guess we'll get a smart fridge, then, won't we?
You're already paying for "Clod" or whatever from whatever Company... so you can work from home, have it give you financial advice on your bank accounts, keep you updated about your health and doctor's visits, your kids use it to do their homework, and it doesn't cost another fee to add that smart fridge to your account, it just costs tokens when you use the smart fridge for its AI.

And, yes... I do know that the AI Bros. (horrible band name) don't make the fridge... Kenmore or whoever does the fridge-making and putting a big Android screen on the door, then you (the Consumer) choose whether to attach it to "Clod" or Grok or whichever one.

Subscription-based AI on an appliance (with planned-out failures after a set time period included, at no extra cost) makes money for both companies, and the consumer has no choice but to buy smart-everything!
And, really... when was the last time a Company gave a flying fornication (said like the Scotsman in The Rundown) about the little people? "This is what you can buy, there are no alternatives, so you'll learn to like it."

Just tried 3.0.24, it seems to be faster to open... will try it on the big tower in a bit.

And, I have no idea what any of that means, being I haven't used anything AI more than Bing's AI Summary thing.
I'm one of those people who prefer to type stuff up myself.

And, even if it has a knob below the screen, it's a multi-function knob, and odds are that the option to change it's function is buried in a Settings menu in some specific screen that takes 20 presses and swipes to get to... so, instead of turning the radio down you changed screens ten notches back and approved a software update that'll shut down the whole dashboard for 20 minutes.

And, for those military grade components, you'll triple the price of the component you're buying.

The reason the car's crap keeps working is that the stuff like processor and GPU (maybe even RAM) is cooled a lot better than your phone (might even have it's own separate AC loop aside from cabin air).

The nice thing is that those older car radios were repairable (might be a little cramped, but you could get the cover off it and find a blown component or manually eject that jammed tape or CD), and they were built sturdy enough that they'd just about survive anything.

Well, when your fridge refuses to keep stuff cool or your stove or toaster won't let you use them because you haven't made your payment to the 'Bros' yet, you'll sing a different tune, and that's what they're counting on.
For now, you can use it somewhat for free (the first hit is free) to get you hooked, then they drop a metric long-ton of fees on you once it's integrated into every facet of everyday life (after that first hit, you have to pay).

They'll always have money. Once AI is baked into every single thing you use every day, none of that will work (fridge, stove, coffee maker, microwave, even your toaster) without you paying the Company a ridiculous amount of money.

And, I'm sure that the data centers will get priority over the little people's lighting and power for your fridge and everything, courtesy of the data center owners having their hands in the right pockets.

I 'spose if you run local AI, it might matter... but I would think if you're running local AI, you're probably not running it on a little laptop.

Just wait until you can't replace even a brake light cluster for the same reason.

And, it wouldn't surprise me if it's some weird formfactor so it can be held in with rubber bumpers or something.
They keep adding more and more RAM to the cars so that the car can do more and more processing and handle more tasks, maybe even run a local AI so you can talk to your chatbot lover while driving to work.

Exactly, and I'm betting that the car won't even drive without the infotainment screen working, and hope your pockets are pretty deep when you have to replace it (and, if you wanna try it yourself, I wish you the best of luck... willing to bet a bunch of data has to be copied a special way off the old one and programmed on the new one).

Remember the good old days where the radio and the environmental controls were separate things totally? Your navigation aid was a bunch of maps 'mostly folded correctly' in the glovebox.
Bonus points if the steering wheel had controls that worked with the radio!
