It's not a LLM, it's a much smaller model (~3B) which is closer to what Microsoft labels as a SLM (Small Language Models, e.g. MS Phi-3 Mini).

No phones can run "LLMs" currently because by definition, large.

Some Android phones however can and does run smaller models locally. Gemini Nano runs on Pixel 8 and can run on Samsung phones.

I do think it's a useful distinction considering open models can be more than 100B+ nowdays and GPT4 is rumored to be 1.7T params. Plus this class of models are far more likely to be on-device.

ASUS is terrible not because they make bad products (in fact many of them are good), they are terrible because of their horrendous support.

There is no shortage of customer service horror stories because of this company. I would not give them money.

The head of Google Search

FTFY

habanhero ,

I get your point but from a business perspective Google is doing pretty well (see last quarterly earning and they announced dividends for the first time). It's good to be a shareholder and from that perspective the CEO is doing a good job.

Time and time again markets have shown, within reason, poor user experience and anti-consumer policies do not negatively impact stock price.

habanhero ,

Sure but Google Search has been crappy for many quarters.

I'm not saying thats how it should be, I'm just pointing out what is.

habanhero ,

lol I don't. The earnings report is public.

habanhero ,

Yes, again I'm not saying that's how it should be, I'm saying what is.

Enshittification won't be a thing if actual user experience matters as much as we like it to in business.

To be brutally honest, many times I see Reddit / Lemmy proclaim, "Product X is dead because it did Y" - these claims are usually followed by surges in revenue / stock performance by said company and soon no one really talks much about it. Example - Netflix Password crackdown.

habanhero ,

Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?

habanhero ,

But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

My personal observation is that people have been fed up for quite a while, not so much by the Instagram app itself but by Meta's brand, their untrustworthiness and the general vapid and scammy nature of the hordes of Influencers and "hustlers". It's just regular folks aren't aware of decent alternatives or the alternatives aren't quite there yet.
