Maker of things
I love minimalism, but dumbphones are not functionally minimal. They do less and seem "simple", but you're offsetting necessary utility elsewhere. Mostly they require making compromises that don't need to be made if not for a little self-control.
A simple black rectangle is perfectly minimal. How you set them up is everything.
Same. It's the software. I don't want your shovelware, Samsung.
Just to remind everyone; It is an LLM and is not aware of its intent, it doesn't have intent. It's just generating words that are plausible in the context given the prompt. This isn't some unlock mode or hack where you finally see the truth, it's just more words generated in the same way as before.
Are you sure this indicates fear? AI is going to be majorly disruptive, so they're educating and incentivising their staff to be the disruptors. This is not a bad way to set yourself up for the future.

Frustratingly, the rulings preventing them from bundling software with an operating system stopped them from building in anti-virus measures. For years when Windows was synonymous with malware, they had their hands tied. 20 years later, they started including Windows defender / Security Essentials. The unnecessary global economic losses caused were immense.
Same boat. I have been using WordPad and .rtf format for all my notes for maybe 15 years.
I've been meaning to jump to a markdown editor for a long time, and after this news I've already started using MarkText. I probably should have jumped ship a long time ago, but at least I'm on the path now.
I will have to figure out a neat way to convert my .rtf notes to .md. Update: I've found Pandoc, it's a command line tool for which I've made a script for converting my .rtf files to .md.
If you've spent some time with AI already you've probably realised that it takes some level of domain-specific information to get AI to produce a useful output. For example, people who are already artistic are better at getting artistically interesting images out of an AI. The idea and the guidance have value and are essential to the outcome. Prompt engineering is a very real skill.
Now this case is about an autonomous tool, which by definition doesn't include a human's guidance. I agree that the waters here are definitely murkier. If however, you put a blanket over all AI-assisted works and say that the author/engineer doesn't deserve credit, or protection, then I think you're off the mark.
My android phone doesn't do that at all. The nest devices definitely don't either.
Elmo must have found out how many people are blocking him.
