"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I hate that I have to use WhatsApp to communicate with my international friends. I wish we could use anything else but they will not

I've heard that in many countries Meta subsidizes a lot of the cell plans and many regions still have metered data but Meta apps don't count towards their data limits.

I'm not sure the veracity of that, but it would explain the wide adoption and insistence on staying within the Meta ecosystem.

Here WhatsApp data don't count on the major cellphone provider, but it doesn't even need it because nearly all of the people use it.

For my country it's not just Meta apps, but all the major social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, YouTube) but it's just certain plans that offer this.
