  • This is really interesting but it doesn’t surprise me.

    AI and implementation of AI tend to be inherently good at optimizing efficiency of a system, and they can be exceptionally good at it. Look at Nvidia DLSS realtime AI upscaling for video games for example, it’s fundamentally a conventional TAA pipeline (a normally computationally expensive Antialiasing technique) that’s super boosted in efficiency by AI in only one of the steps of the pipeline, and it’s so efficient that it can be use to make image even more clear than original and in real time. And many of the actually practical machine learning systems that have demonstrated good results in scientific and engineering applications are fundamentally conventional algorithms that’s efficiency boosted so that the computation takes merely hours instead of many decades so they became practical. Not surprising the same approach can be used for business systems and give you actually good results.

    But I fortunately majority of the snake oil marketing for AI products and services seem to focus on claims for generating new content with AI, which is exactly what the marketing people would want LMAO



  • Yuck indeed.

    People tried many ways to get around it, back when I was still using an US variant Samsung Note 9, people went as far as using a leaked engineering/preproduction ROM, which can be flashed using Samsung’s official tool because it does have the correct key for the locked bootloader to accept, being built and compiled by Samsung, and because it’s an engineering ROM it would give you root and everything despite of the bootloader still being locked.

    But it was an exceptionally rare leak, and it was only meant for preproduction for a reason, it is very VERY unstable and not exactly usable for a daily driver lol

    So happy I am leaving all that BS from Samsung behind with my current Sony Xperia 1 VI which is bootloader-unlocked and rooted and deeply modded and truly my own device lol
