  … My comment wasn’t disagreeing with you? Sorry it was probably worded goofy lmao

  Why does that even matter? Currently, if you have a locked phone and switch carriers, you have to buy an entirely new phone anyways.

  At least this way, a user can pay once, and then hop around carriers depending on what’s cheap.

  Also there’s no shot that locking users to phones costs that much because the unlocked version of a phone is only like 15-20% more expensive. Since when did you ever get a 70% discount on the MSRP of a phone for buying it locked??? They’re straight ass lying lmao

  My best guess is that they instead aggregate your data and serve ads based off of basic demographically information - instead of data they’ve harvested from your Google account. E.g. they’ll use your age range, gender, region, etc

  I feel like it’s more ethnocentric than racist, which is a bit less bad. Some developers have had negative experiences with offshore talent. I’ve personally had mixed experiences, and some of that comes down to communication issues and experience issues. Sometimes you get an offshore developer who is really skilled, but generally the very skilled developers get their work visa and come to the US.

  You also get absolutely garbage developers in the states, but of course nobody ever mentions that. Lol

  The reason that your favorite games are your favorite is because they aren’t soulless cash grabs. They’re made by people with imagination, passion, and ingenuity. AI simply can’t create something brand new from existing parts, it can only give it a fresh coat of paint.

  Furthermore, AI will always work like this, because that’s how the models are trained. I don’t think we’ll have a model that learns to create on its own within any of our lifetimes, if ever.
