First sentence of your second paragraph illustrates the problem and also agrees with me.
This discussion is about what Apple would need to do to satisfy people with privacy concerns when it comes to third-party replacements for Siri on devices that Apple makes. Arguing that you don't trust Apple because parts of the OS are closed source is irrelevant, because you won't ever trust their device in the first place (or any devices, in all likelihood).
That's why I don't trust them, or anyone. You especially cannot trust phones, since you don't get the code running on the baseband processor even in the best cases — they're not allowed to give it to you.

That's always been a facile look at alliances. The enemy of my enemy is only my temporary ally unless we actually have a reason to be allied long term.
China is not your friend. They just want your money, same as OpenAI or whoever.
The anti-AI-DC attitude has legs because it makes sense, not because of ad campaigns. Maggots prove every day that you can agitate people to work against their own interests, but that doesn't mean that's what this is. If China is spending money agitating people against bullshit DCs, it's only working because they are in fact bullshit.
Yeah, you got a $900 box that can't open a spreadsheet, run GIMP or Blender or multitask, and it can't be modded much, but on the upside it'll play COD at almost the speed of a decent gaming PC.
And the gaming industry created this problem, by not allowing you to do something useful with your console once it's no longer useful as a console, by locking it down and never providing an unlock. Thousands of us hacked our Xboxes and used them as media centers, then Microsoft made this infeasible going forwards. Sony did the same with the PS3 and "Other OS." Nintendo has just always been locked down AF, but we used to have some freedom with some of the game boys... so much for that.
I have zero reason to buy a console because it has zero value after it's been a console for me.
Essentially. the Ai companies have overshot the commercial sweetspot for AI. You don't hire a PhD to deliver mail or repair a leak.
You also don't hire a PhD who might decide to enter an empty elevator shaft. But that's what every LLM is. You cannot expect it to do anything sane, it's just thoughts and prayers.
Existing open source, locally hosted models can do quite a bit of digital work right now, as is, at a predictable, fixed cost
The cost is unpredictable as long as the behavior is unpredictable.
Eventually it will be free and ad-supported
It's pretty hard to imagine ads covering the costs when the platform is erratic and might say the products being advertised are the best things ever, or it might say they will murder your dog and fuck your mom.
Well, that rules out 99.9999% of all mobile phones for you, then, with a +/-
I don't "trust" any of these providers. I expect them to fuck me. I just don't get the option to use none of them if I want to participate in modern society.
Open source is not even slightly immune to those sorts of issues.
Which issues? Not being able to trust that the code doesn't do things which are intentionally malicious? It's as close as you can get. Literally all closed source software is less trustworthy.
I don't forget. This shit plan comes from shit "people".

Indeed --- ICE is trained-to-purpose. Invading border-jumpers SHOULD feel terror
Get fucked, hipster shitlord.
As other comments have pointed out, there have been killbots since the 1970s.
This is just a cheaper killbot. That's news, it might even be a paradigm shift, but it's not a fundamental difference in what is occurring.
First we were told that Ukraine needed to DEFEND her territory.
As long as Russia is attacking Ukraine, attacking Russia is defending Ukraine.
This is not complicated.
All Russia has to do for the attacks on Russia to stop is stop attacking Ukraine.
Or is it just me, and going on the offensive against Russia is perfectly OK?
It's not just you. There's lots of other clowns just like you who think allowing Russia to continue attacking Ukraine is perfectly OK.
At least bots will have more training than ICE.
ICE has all the training they need to carry out their mission of terrorism.
Hey cultists: Where's the medical reports of when Trump was allegedly shot? How come he never talks about the people who tried to kill him when he cries constantly about people being mean to him? You fucking absolute clown fucks.
