An elitist dog whistle built to “other” the “poor” people - people that may have otherwise been successfully socializing or “passing” with wealthy people to the point of the first text message sent. Also a quiet tool for labor discrimination.
Only took them about 20 years of oppression to finally announce they would potentially end the practice.
Walled garden, overpriced exploitation of that locked ecosystem ($5000 monitor stand kind of shit), green bubbles/blue bubbles, dominating all tech with their middle of the road/copycat approach where Android was eventually saturated with same type of execs and “gave up” on differentiating until everything was the same sealed back glass rectangle without MICRO SD expansion memory, leading the charge on “brave” feature killing enshitification like removing the headphone jack, plenty more…
Yeah, feels like that or some sort of mock speak miming that the actor does so they can then dub over during post production in Italian, French, Japanese, etc.
I feel like there’s something like that in older 2D animation as well, right? Where they’d animate a character’s mouth to generally move so that when an actor added voice later it was convincing “enough”.
One of the biggest thing is the actual swipe detection success rate - I have tried heli and others and I find that you need to swipe slower and more precisely for words to register. Also, when wrong word is detected, Swype will typically have the right word suggested in bar above keyboard for a one tap correction, not the case for me on others where no word is often the wrong word is suggested to correct. For example, almost like some of them suggest too literally and lack context - this is tough to describe, so bear worth me, so I try to swipe the word “she” let’s say, and the board detects “the” and the suggested words to correct have more of a relationship to “the”, so think “then” “them” “theirs” maybe, but the logic isn’t starting with other derivations of three letter words ending with “he” that have relevant letters near the “T” on a qwerty keyboard (which Swype feels less likely to do in my experience).
Otherwise, there are customizing options and other UI choices that I prefer with Swype. It’s definitely gotten worse over the years since it stopped being actively supported, but I’m so glad it’s still functional in some capacity. I wish everyone with FOSS skill would really deep to replicate the Swype experience with the APKs still floating around.
Nothing can replace the original Swype for me. I want something new, but all alternatives are deficient
You get the FUCK out of here, you god damn monster.

So crazy that humanity has so far allowed the idea of “hallucinations”, even just the term, to be normalized and acceptable to any level into a product that’s being forced into every layer of our daily existence.
Stop just going with it. Call out hallucinations on their face.
IME this just leads to “yeah, but ours will be different/better!” type responses like…
“Politicians suck, but ours are good”
“Stop giving out all these services with our tax dollars but don’t touch our Medicare”
“Gay marriage shouldn’t be legal, but my gay daughter is fine.”
“Immigrants are evil, except for the waiter at my favorite Mexican restaurant, he is one of the good ones”
I/Me/Mine is ALWAYS the exception to every rule for them.
So the NEW mainstream, MY mainstream, will be different and tell the REAL truth.
You know, Capitalism is a choice.
Can you please give an example of a well reasoned argument that’s relevant here?
I’m not sure of the relationship of reason to people that aggressively disregard objective fact and fluidly move the goalpost of their burden of proof.
Except AI doesn’t say “Is this it?”
It says, “This is it.”
