I'm still looking for ways in which this is better than ChatGPT. It says that it's different in the sense that it doesn't shy away from giving you malicious content that might otherwise be useful in harming someone or some system. Let me know how you found it different than the normal GPT.

if it's good for blackhat hackers, it's gonna get banned or censored. it's a fairly consistent litmus test.

This has been the case. It's just expanding.

Often times you'll find former members of the military or government start a `private` firm, just to turn around and use the connections they made to land a government contract, or two.

It's only a bad thing if you're one of the hundreds of millions of people not invited to the party and cut out of the deals because you didn't know the right people.

I don't see the problem? /s

Interesting, I've had 2 Garmin Smart Watches and never felt like Apple was restricting them.

I am curious what things the iPhone does that others aren't allowed to do.

Most of the differences between Garmin and Apple Watch seem like they were conscious decisions where they each decided to take a different direction.

It's one of those weird things where it seems like the case has a bunch of holes. You can use an iPhone with some but not all non-Apple Smart watches. You can use a non-Apple phone with non-Apple smartwatches. There are other non-Apple smart watches that those manufacturers have decided can't be used with an iPhone, no different than Apple. Lots of choices in the market, I certainly don't feel restricted.

I am not sure how requiring something like WeChat to break into multiple apps would be a big issue. Apple even breaks it's own apps up into different apps.

Yeah, there are some inconsistencies with Apple products interop-ing with non-Apple stuff.

I've noticed this with wireless bluetooth headphone pairing. Sometimes it works, othertimes there are odd limitations and devices unpair randomly.

Also Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging sends lower wattage through the cable if it detects a non-Samsung device. So Apple is not the only offender here.
