The problem is that if you made this claim about every messaging app, you'd probably be right more than 50% of the time.

!confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world sort of, we won't know for sure until whatever time frame "soon" is has passed though
How the fuck is this even mansplaining?
It's not overtly, as the guy doesn't seem to care whom he's talking over. The guys just an ass.
However, because it could be mansplaining, someone's gonna decide it must be; can only be. Like some fascist screeching "anti-semite!" at the drop of a hat, calling every ass a man-splainer cheapens the term, chills actual discourse and increases the man-splanation amount.
Buckle up.
I hate that I can't block them without making a fucking mastodon account
You reactionary, habitually incel-adjacent dorks realize their pfps and names are in the post, right.
It gets worse:
I have the benefit of heighten pattern recognition
Wow, his brain must be truly amazing to see that ai is being added to almost everything when no one else saw it.
Why did you have to post this follow-up? Now I'm all angried up.
I don't agree with hitting children as a means of discouraging bad behaviour, but I'm convinced some adults would benefit from being hit a bit more.
I have said before if we invent time machines their sole legal purpose should be to only travel back in time to when some ass’s mom was pregnant with him and to point at her and say “see this bump? in 25 years he’s going to be an insufferable asshole.”
then we offer mom a pill.
Direct action can be surprisingly effective
Gotta love how people don't understand that "nonprofit" doesn't mean "we don't pay our employees and do everything for free"
I guess i have the "benefit of heighten pattern recognition," because I sense a douche outline.
I also have the "benefit of heighten pattern recognition" when I'm playing Bejeweled 3.
Damn, this dude is so high off of huffing his own farts...He's insane and chauvinistic because he believes that his opinion has more value than the woman who is a driving force behind Signal.
He is a LLM simp that is so desperate to see it implemented everywhere, so that daddy shareholder can make more money and tell him he's a good boy for believing in them. ROFL
He is a LLM simp
Actually, that apparently isn't true. It just seems like he's recently developed a grudge against Signal and is trying to discredit it.
I wouldn't go so far as to characterize him as an LLM evangelist. It is important to keep Hanlon's razor in mind.
Hmm, by that reasoning and the history presented in those Mastodon posts...It would make sense that this was an attack of credibility instead of simping for LLMs. Strange, I wonder what happened that made him loathe Signal and want to see it lose credibility. Thank you for sharing a bit of the truth behind this odd situation.
I have the benefit of having hightened pattern recognition
I gotta start using this.
No, it's "heighten pattern recognition." The incorrect grammar makes it extra convincing.
I wonder what other settings he doesn't accept 'no' from a woman.
He's an idiot.
But if Signal wanted to, on the next Apple OSes and current Android version, you can invoke a small, local LLM without sending user data off-device.
Personally, not sure where the value is: composing messages? summarizing them? Both have been tried and they're pretty useless.
Google and co have been trying to extract information from my emails for years. It's presented as a way to automatically make appointments etc but in reality is probably used to build a thorough profile for advertisement
Comes from Apple and Google? It will absolutely send data off device.
His grammar is terrible
Unlike his 'heighten pattern recognition'
😆
I mean, I do appreciate his argument, as it has been a very common trend for tech firms to say one thing while doing the exact opposite.
If he had said, "I don't believe you. I think you're denying it publicly, but in secret you have probably already directed your engineers to lay out the groundwork," that would be fine.
He would be accusing her of lying, rather than assuming she was an ignorant female nobody whose knowledge could not compare with his insight of, "but other companies did it."
The guy's an idiot, no doubt. But he does have a point.
People on social media come from all walks of life, and have many different voices, some of them retarded. If you don't want to engage with people like him, that's entirely understandable, and probably encouraged. If you DO want to engage with them, however, you should try and actually understand the message, instead of sneering like a fool because they didn't phrase it in a way that is pleasing to whatever social sensibilities your clique favours.
But well, you see, he has the benefit heighten pattern recognition skills because penis.
Still won't be surprised if this happens though.
Signal will waste resources on anything but making the app more usable lol
Kinda like firefox
Isn't it fine as it is ?
Communities like WhatsApp or topics like Telegram would be great features
It works sure... But the development has largely stalled.
They could try to level it up with features to march a modern messenger but they are not doing that. I am not sure why.
I'm not sure what you are referring to. Features such as what ?
Such as proper group call support
Whatevet whatsapp crowd is always whining about.
ah, right. I don't use calling at all, I even forget it's a thing. To me they might as well be text messengers
I like this guy. He's got spirit
And heighten pattern recognition
A real spunkbubble
