    I also dislike when the underdog genuinly starts off as an underdog and is just given a cheat code which is played off as “hard work and determination”.

    Like the main character of My Hero Academia. A person born without super powers in a world full of super heroes. You get excited at how he will overcome his limitations… and the answer to that is be given the strongest power in that world and get even more super powers on top of that.

    It is especially annoying how the surrounding characters act like it isn’t a cheat code.

    Funny thing is in that universe there is a character called Lemillion who had powers with drawbacks and had to learn to take advantage of them. A true underdog making the most of the cards he was dealth with. He should have been the MC of the show.












  • Not sure what the surprise is. It is a device that needs you to sign into an account and have an internet connection. Ie it is just a dumb terminal. Kind of like how Alexa speakers are useless without an internet connection. All the processing is done on servers.

    Even if it was not an android app, you probably could have made a clone of it since you are basically interacting with a web api.

    In their defence the device has the advantage of giving you instant access to their ai through the touch of a button whilst on phones you would need to physically open the app as the “assistant” functionality is already reserved to Siri, Bixby, etc. EDIT: I wasn’t aware you can change assistants.

    Personally I like the concept if the processing was done within the device, but considering you need monster machines to run llms I guess we are least decades away from that reality.

    Well it has to do with culture/educational systems.

    For example in Japan they still teach the abacus(soroban) as they see it helps visualise calculations which makes mental mathematics easier.

    On the flip side Japan barely teaches spoken english and focuses mostly on written tests. So the typical japanese person can read/write english but can barely form an english sentence when speaking.
