See who you are not allowed to criticise and you will see who rules you.

It has “AI” but idk what it does exactly.

It inflates LG’s share price

No one asked for this

But it us kind of insulting when America did incredible violence to the global south to get them to open their markets only throw it all out the window.

Also a ‘I hate you but, you build a nice ethnostate that I want to adapt over where I live.’

I wonder why a ceo was recently gunned down. They all seem to have fantastic moral character. Why someone would do such a thing escapes me. /s

America didn’t lose its leadership. America sold its leadership for the billionaire oligarch class.

On the plus side an immortal ruling class might actually start caring about climate change.

My biggest concern is durability. I keep my phones for a long time (5-6 years). I have serious concerns that folding phones wont hold up. Especially considering that they oldest amongst them are only just now reaching the age of my last phone that was a champ up until I retired it.

Here’s how I see it. Gen AI and LLMs are really good for things that I won’t pay money for. It’s undoubtedly impressive tech, but it really deserves to remain as a cool research project rather than an actual functional product.

It would probably be wiser to implant a bullet in your brain then let that man do neurosurgery on you.

Struggling to roll out products that don’t immediately break. Struggling to keep pace with competitors after blowing a huge lead. Facing new threats in the form of arm and risc v. I know, let’s lay off staff that’ll help.

We can do that, but first let’s make sure everyone on the planet has clean water first.

Nah, but if you’re planning a climate protest or are about to whistleblow some warcrimes/corruption you’re absolutely fucked.

Fun fact. If you come to Australia the border force can basically do the same thing. Take a burner with you when you travel, it’s not worth the hassle at the airport. Bonus points, if you lose your phone or get it stolen it won’t hurt as much as if it happened to your main device.

I agree with your point, but I think it’s important not to forget just how shitty tech media is a holding these companies to account. Half the shit most mainstream tech journalist publish borders on hagiography for these companies.
