At least with an Android i have the option of Graphene, and have access to a terminal, and for now can sideload apps.

With apple there's no choices, so I'll continue to take my chances with Android


Possibly... but the extension of this to Android and Apple is going to be the entire internet shuts you out. And everything else will be a giant Dead Internet crawling with bots.

The sites that require you to log in are precisely the same ones that are crawling with bots. The personal internet or "small web" is, and still will be, full of real content. There are also lots of bot websites that are trying to be small web, but since it's an actual social network and not a giant pool everyone pours stuff into, they don't get traction. If you do find a website that seems to be human but links to a thousand AIslop sites, you'll stop following that guy's links.

Can Graphene OS pass this kind of Google attestation challenge, though?

Aka "the behavior of having no money in public" i.e. laying on benches or sitting on trains etc

The people you think are "temporarily" living in vehicles are not doing so temporarily.

I personally have close to a dozen friends who have spent between 2 and 6 weeks of their life (but not longer) living out of their car in a state of actual temporary homelessness. Almost always due to financial issues.

Temporarily living in vehicles is absolutely a thing.


Utterly and completely untrue and you should be embarrassed for saying so

Oh yeah, 60 years of arresting people in the US for drug crimes has gone so well. Couldn't be better! Cities that decriminalized have better outcomes.

I hope people like you lose every election for the rest of time.


Which specific cities are you referring to that have better outcomes and which ones have worse outcomes?

They would be better if they were given support. Locking people away is not a solution to anything. You've been sold a lie about the mentally ill, and the homeless, which isn't true.

An LLM is a large and complex machine, not a screwdriver. Large and complex [physical] machines are built with safeguards to prevent misuse, injury, etc by regulation.

LLM's are in principle text in / text out machines. If the user extends its capability to have agency over a production database or a machine, there's nothing that can safeguard the safety.

Imagine I ask an LLM to instruct left/right/speed up/slow down while driving. I can simply bypass any safeguard by stating i suddenly became blind while driving a car. While in fact i'm blindfolded and doing an experiment on a highway.


A bulldozer is a large and complex physical machine, yet it has (almost¹) no safeguards against misuse or injury. It's all operator training. Lathes tend to not have doors/enclosures, in particular large ones. You get taught where to not put your fingers, and to wear safety goggles. Cranes don't have a lot of safeguards either, you better know how to attach things; hardhats aren't gonna do sh*t if you get a ton of concrete dropped on you.

etc. pp.

I'm not sure where this "tools are made to be safe" belief comes from. This is only the case in "consumer" environments. Of course you don't intentionally make things unnecessarily unsafe, but — in a professional environment there is an expectiation that the operator had training and knows what they're doing.

Maybe that's what we're missing: training in safe AI use. With a certificate that has to be periodically renewed. At the current rate things are going, I'd say 3 months is a good renewal cycle ;D. </s>

(¹ it beeps when it goes backwards. Honestly, I'm not sure that counts for much.)


Funny enough Omaha, Nebraska does this more or less citywide. Aves are always West of their corresponding Street, East of the next highest Street, and some of the subdivisions out west get real whacky with things like 178th ave/ct/place/lane/drive/road/trail/plaza/terrace/...

Pretty common here in Chicago, the unrelenting grid makes it pretty easy to just tell someone what major cross streets to target, or directions from an L stop.

Chicago does pretty good in general, the intersection of North Western Ave and West North Ave is always the most obvious, it's easy to get Central Ave and Central Park Ave mixed up too, they run parallel to each other and they're both pretty far west. There's also Lawrence and St. Lawrence, but they're like 25 miles apart so nobody really gets them mixed up.
