“Finish” as in beat or best, not as in complete a development work to be shipped
- Comment on i have a fantasy of marrying a divorced dad and being the young cool stepmom 1 week ago:
What a weird thing to want or wish for. You have to think, a shitpost doesn’t come out of nowhere. Someone has to go to a shitpost community, misread the vibe, and completely go off the deep end with therapy speak in front of real people. There are social issues, vibe checks failed, etc. Posting serious comments on a shitpost is a stereotype for a reason.

I guess I’m not sure how hallucinating and reading from source code are overlapping. Do you think these models are just barfing back garbage nonsense?

Yea sorry but I think this misses the point entirely. No one is arguing etymology, nor does the word carry a negative connotation inherently
The issue is that using the term sideloading makes it seem like you’re doing something other than “installing software,” which is truly without editorialization what is happening. Referring to it as “sideloading” is seen widely as editorialization.
So fighting against this new understanding of the term is either pedantry for the sake of it, or you have some sort of stake in Google perhaps? Either way the worst case scenario is people use a word you don’t agree with - but the upside is someone might realize they’re being lied to when told they don’t own their hardware and the decisions associated

I don’t think they invented the word
It’s naive to think Google doesn’t have a reason behind the popularization of a term that indicates to the user they’re not the one in ultimate control of their own personal device
Keep getting upset over it though if that makes you happy

I do not agree with your reasoning, tempting as it may be to believe that Google is neutral

Can I ask you why Google has deliberately chosen to ALWAYS use the term sideloading? Doesn’t that seem weird for an internet company - who should know better - to not just say “install?”
How do you think this came to be?

Sideloading isn’t a real term - there is only loading a better OS than whatever spy-tech google is offering.
You can’t “sideload” hardware you own - you just install whatever software you like and prefer

Well Opus 4.6 got it exactly right. Makes sense as OpenAI / chatgpt are trash

ChatGPT is trash. The latest Claude model - Opus 4.6 - nailed this question. So I guess that tracks lol

Doesn’t cite which models were used, and I’m not sure this isn’t entirely faked as a “dunk on AI” post
I just tried this with two latest models and they both are like “duh, drive”
