I wish I saw more people realizing the build out promising being made by the big AI are physically impossible

not only is it impossible to build that much power generation on those timelines

it's also not possible to build enough GPUs to fill a purported tripling of US datacenter capacity

what's the ROI on giant empty warehouses full of empty server racks and no electricity?

That's why its increasingly more important to find answers how to build these models that work sustainably. The approach of training with HUGE amount of data requiring HUGE infra seems to have blinded the hype-bros that they are not planning to innovate to do it in a small-scale.

> but "banning installing" wouldn't have been correct here.

it would

and it would show exactly why it is absurd

But currently, the masses know it only as a button in the play store and app store.

Shows how much they valued 'AGI' wrt how we valued it in the textbook. https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/microsoft-and-openai-have-...

coincidentally, I uninstalled newpipe today (after exporting its data to local storage).Not for any bad reasons, but due to it consuming most of my screen time.

Anyway, really cool app and congratulations to the countless developers, maintainers and bug-reporters that made it possible.

Since when does a UI need GPU acceleration to be smooth? It certainly doesn't on the linux desktop. Many smartphones are powerful (non-general purpose) computers these days; is it just energy/battery restrictions preventing them from being useful computers?

But also: why does this matter? Android is a dead ecosystem. Smart phones are a dead ecosystem. Google literally just announced that no one is allowed to develop for it and actually have random people run their applications without paying a protection fee and doxing yourself for future leaks and/or government crackdowns. Just like Apple. On your "own" smartphones you won't even be allowed to run your own software.

The only reason anyone would ever keep developing software for such platforms is if someone is paying them. And that leads to crappy software. The smartphone platforms will be entirely commercial and lose all the "scratch my own itch" software. Becoming merely a fancy bank/video/navigation/shopping terminal you have no control over.

I understand your sentiment here, but > Smart phones are a dead ecosystem. is not true.

Google and Apple think they can do it because they know they are a duopoly.When they keep doing things like these, I hope we will see someone else coming forward to better serve their customers.

> The only reason anyone would ever keep developing software for such platforms is if someone is paying them Have you ever heard the name of f-droid?At least in android , this is not true. We can't let the bad examples be the only examples.
