ITT: Downvoters don’t know that latest iPhones have a satellite messaging component: https://support.apple.com/en-us/101573

“This blogger” is Simon Willison, who has been doing LLM benchmarks and other LLM-related things since before it was cool

Not a random substack grifter

Not at the same scale as mobile traffic

Bluetooth by definition doesn’t go much past 10-20 meters

Is there a master list of ships that support genocide, so that I don’t end up on one?

It definitely has specific blocks on what it will output.

And more is better so people get used to using them and skip the telcos and other stuff that can be tracked

Meshtastic requires bespoke hardware, it’ll always stay a marginal tool

This requires: an iPhone.

And someone will make a bridge from this to Meshtastic in a while anyway

This is nothing like the ones you list, this is local only no internet

And LocalSend

Briar doesn’t have an iOS client an never will

This doesn’t have an android client 😀

LLMs are shit at current events

Perplexity is kinda ok, but it’s just a search engine with fancy AI speak on top

Wrong 70% doing what?

I’ve used LLMs as a Stack Overflow / MSDN replacement for over a year and if they fucked up 7/10 questions I’d stop.

Same with code, any free model can easily generate simple scripts and utilities with maybe 10% error rate, definitely not 70%

I want loitering munitions with face detection, all targeting Putin, his oligarchs and their families.

Your Instagram or TikTok?

Because mine is full of TikTok reposts and AI slop

I bought a Venta LW25 and couldn’t be happier. Simple and functional, good old German engineering

LTT isn’t small (Linus is tho) and they have their own site, Floatplane

They still make most of their income from YouTube

Nope, nobody is. Case in point: Twitch.

Multiple people have tried moving out, but they always come back.

YouTube ads pay a fuckton of money compared to any sponsorships. And sponsors pay more based on views and demographics, which YouTube also provides.

You just can’t make YouTube moneys by hosting an mp4 with sponsor ads, not ever.

Arch forums have seen a massive uptick in users

Are there other incurable states of mind that would require people to be shunned forever?
