"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.

Reuters said the phone is codenamed Transformer

AI integration is a “key focus” of Transformer, per Reuters’ sources, who said that Amazon wants the phone to drive usage of Amazon’s AI products

It’s unclear why Amazon thinks now is a good time to get back into phones. Even potentially low prices may not be enough to convince people to buy.

You ARE looking forward to this, right?

Fire Phone 2

It has not yet been officially reported that I'm developing plans to purchase a Motorola device with Grapheme on it. This project has been codenamed "Fuck Google".

A key focus of this effort is the synergy around a phone without corporate AI, without Google control, and readily available by preinstallation on the device. Research shows this "preinstalled" approach scores highly in the WAF scoring index.

Didn't they fail at phones once already

The only people that are asking for this bought the fire phone

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 36 points 3 hours ago

And I’m currently developing a plan to not buy it.

Don't forget they gimped all their FireTV devices lately, you would have to be mad to buy an Amazon phone.

[–] FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe 1 points 2 minutes ago

Wait, what did they do? Did I miss more bullshit?

Cant wait to hear how much of your personal data it steals

[–] MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 35 minutes ago

What do you mean by 'steals' or 'personal'? People who buy this are willingly giving everything to Amazon by buying this.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 24 points 3 hours ago

All of it.

Spend your time somewhere else. The answer is: yes

[–] jaredwhite@humansare.social 21 points 3 hours ago

Amazon apparently has decided it has way too much capital on its hands, so it wants to pile it up a ton of cash out in the backyard, douse it with gasoline, and then smirk like a little imp as it strikes a match.

More power to 'em, I guess?
