People want big phones for some reason
Bigger battery, better for content consumption and overall usage if you use it frequently. It's not that weird, yet you treat it as if we were talking about aliens.

I wasn't referring to whether the LLM commits copyright infringement when creating a text (though that's an interesting topic as well), but rather the act of feeding it the texts. My point was that it is not like us in a sense that we read and draw inspiration from it. It's just taking texts and digesting them. And also, from a privacy standpoint, I feel kind of disgusted at the thought of LLMs having used comments such as these ones (not exactly these, but you get it), for this purpose as well, without any sort of permission on our part.
That's mainly my issue, the fact that they have done so the usual capitalistic way: it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
Let's not pretend that LLMs are like people where you'd read a bunch of books and draw inspiration from them. An LLM does not think nor does it have an actual creative process like we do. It should still be a breach of copyright.
Those 7 corporations. Would those be companies whose products we keep buying?
The very first comment I replied to :). Shifting blame from the corps onto the customers. Once again, feel free to sort yourself out.
Yeah to those 3.
However, I wasn't intending to argue with someone with such a simplistic view of how the system works, anyway. If you think it's all up to the customer and the corps nor the system have no blame in comparison, it's just a lost cause, so sort yourself out.
All long as the vast majority of people are not willing to make changes in their own life, then everything else is pointless, and it will all fail.
The "vast majority" can't make big changes in their life because they cannot afford to. The vast majority live either in poverty or paycheck to paycheck. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you are going to buy the cheapest stuff because that's all you can buy. And the cheapest stuff is usually that which is produced by the worst companies. "Voting with your wallet" is fine and dandy, but it doesn't work at all if there are not equal opportunities both for new businesses to flourish as healthy competition (without being squashed or bough by the already stablished corps) and for the customer to choose.
If we want to introduce actual change, it's faster and more effective to regulate in some manner the behaviours of those companies and the system that enables them, but of course, that is no easy task either.
Yeah, I read the title and was like: if the babies are with the iPads, it's because their parents are not spending time with the babies.
Now the reason behind it, that's another story, but I agree that it's most likely having to work like a slave.
It's easy to blame them because it's true.
At this point, many of them are too stablished to just go away with the power of the wallet.
It would be easy to sacrifice those rich assholes in a slaughterhouse
Yeah, if people really wanted, they could make their own phones and all they own by hand. These damn socialists!
I've had both iPhones and Androids at several points in my life (just recently switched from and iPhone 11 to an S23 Ultra).
For the most part, I find Android devices to be plain better. More features, more freedom... you know, the usual. The only thing I find to be better on the iPhones is that, as a frontend developer and someone who loves seeing nice UX on apps, I feel like 3rd party native apps are usually much better and much more frequent on Apple devices than on Android ones. When I participate in macOS development communities, it also feels like devs enjoy much more developing for macOS/iOS/iPadOS than the alternatives.
But as said, as a device, I much rather prefer Android phones.
Yeah, my bad there, I understood the previous comment as somewhat of a "Well I don't understand how people can like big phones".
My guess is, as with many other things, corporations pushed towards a certain thing (big phones in this case) enough to make it the default and then the bigger audience just stopped caring as a result.
It is interesting indeed, but I guess that's just it, aside from the obvious fact that the bigger the space, the easier is to design stuff (my previous comment + better heat dissipation + more space for cameras), so probably a mixture of all of these things together and a couple more.
