"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Reuters said the phone is codenamed Transformer

AI integration is a “key focus” of Transformer, per Reuters’ sources, who said that Amazon wants the phone to drive usage of Amazon’s AI products

It’s unclear why Amazon thinks now is a good time to get back into phones. Even potentially low prices may not be enough to convince people to buy.

You ARE looking forward to this, right?

low prices.

Oh. That's the angle.

Amazon will basically give these away, like Prime. And at least some people will lap them up because they can't help themselves.

With absolutely zero offense intented, I just saw another Lemmy user complain about ads on Prime Video, apparently unaware that they're now gated by an additional subscription. And any Lemmy user has to be in the top 1% of "enshittification awareness." That was always the plan, but our monkey brains often cannot help themselves when we see a short-term deal.

If the great people at LineageOS or GrapheneOS or wherever else manage to create a ROM for this thing, maybe it could be a good deal
