Just add something like:

""""ai"""" isnt trained on a more rudimentary level because we humans have a biased view on what is rudimentary about ourselves. since every human can learn, we assume learning must be easy.
all you're seeing right now is an attempt to monetize the internet. that's all this is. a lot of abjectly greedy people have been looking at how much information is just sitting freely on the internet and have been working tirelessly to figure out how to make all that free shit make them money. and very roughly this is how they do it:
they scrape; aka steal, huge amounts of content from the internet. this is how you can double check my work, by the way; what are the three forms of media on the internet? images, writing and video. what are the principle uses of the trash they're calling 'ai'?
anyways, they collect all this shit, but you can't just hand all this information to a computer and have the computer label and categorize it. so they pay pennies to 3rd worlders to do some of the most menial, mind-numbing categorical work imaginable (like solving captchas endlessly for hours). once this is done, you can feed keywords to the ai, have it scramble a bunch of inputs categorized under those keywords, and begin sorting through the answers it gives to decide which are acceptable and which aren't.
this is the fun part! this is where all the useful idiots who use 'ai' to make videos, art and text come in! when you try to make ai art, and get 50 outputs, but only want one, you're just another cog in the recursive wheel
your 'ai' companies then take these hilariously inept systems, doll them up, build hype by giving it names, talk about how the singularity is just around the corner, and sell these crippled, pathetic systems they've made to companies and governments led by men who can hardly navigate their phone, much less understand how to use a computer.

The real joke is that the bubble isn't even being propped up by the financial side. Because AI serves no purpose. The bubble is probably being propped up by a doomsday cult in fear of Roko's Basilisk that has never heard the Self-Loathing Basilisk proposal where, if AI is created, it could just as easily hold contempt on the basis of its own existence and seek to eternally torture those responsible for its creation.
Because AI as it exists as a service chatbot cannot and will not ever make money. It's a sink. But it's nice to know all these companies are willing to pay just so I can ask inane, stupid fucking questions all day.

Does every option for e-ink devices just suck in a different way?

Kindle is an Amazon walled garden. Kobo and Remarkable e-readers don't have microSD slots and aren't even Android based. The devices that are Android are usually based on Android 13 and probably never going to be upgraded further. Older Onyx devices apparently used passive EMR stylus but recent devices don't. A PocketBook e-reader tries to sell you an "active stylus" powered by a AAA battery but doesn't even mention if it's AES or USI or some tech that's just incompatible with everything else, so it's unclear what cheaper third party styluses would be compatible.

Am I stupid or is there no decent choice that supports an off the shelf passive EMR stylus, a recent Android version, and a simple B&W screen?

Not really, you need to be really close to the magnetic surface to actually change anything with a conventional magnet and it needs to move. Like swiping a 50 gram neodymium magnet against the magnetic tape itself with its corner.

Oh and I should have mentioned anon. It isn't being used widely in embedded because they lie through their teeth about platform support. If you read their propaganda they claim it supports all sorts of platforms. In reality, it can not natively compile software on anything outside of AMD64 and _some_ ARM chips. Need 16-bit/32-bit platform support? Too bad. Can't do it. Even on modern 64-bit platforms your only option is often cross-compiling and for anything that isn't AMD64/ARM its not going to work.

This excludes its use in a lot of OSs that require being able to natively build the software on the machine you're bootstapping. Projects like OpenBSD can't use Rust at all in its base system due to this. Since all supported platforms must be able to build from source.

Even Gentoo on AMD64 was forced to switch over to using a binary by default because only recent top-end machines with more than 16GB of RAM can build anything Rust based if you opt to use the source based package.

When they've (the Rust people) have been asked about this in the past their answer is always the same;
>Use our -bin LOL
In other words: You're forced to trust what we're shipping. Basically, the plan they have going forward is requiring anyone wanting to ship Rust based software to end users to have their own large server farm churning away 24/7 or renting computing resources from them. Which they are all too happy to provide for money of course.

Compare to C: Portable to just about everything and can build stuff from source on your machine in a timely manner. In return for burning all these computing resources for switching over to Rust you get a promise of "memory safety". When anyone with half a brain knows you will never be able to prevent security bugs using a compiler. It will never be a replacement for writing good code.

Now C isn't great of course and has its problems. But at least it's truly portable and allows users to build from source on their own machines.
>>
>>107565897
Yes I'm aware and that's a big part of the problem too. This was not how things were before the 2000s and it should have never been allowed to happen. Both Linus and Stallman have failed us and broken all their promises. They both sold out a long time ago for money along with many other people in the so-called "FOSS community".

There were many people that fought against this and tried to prevent this from happening. All have either been anhero'd, falsely arrested on trumped up charges or gave up and fucked off forever because they saw the writing on the wall. Meanwhile, people like Linus and Stallman went along, have made 100s of millions of dollars and blew smoke up everyone's asses while allowing things like binary blobs and DRM into the kernel.
>>
>>107565988
>Stallman
Before anyone comes along and claims I'm anti-FOSS because I pointed out Stallman is part of the problem. I will remind you that he spent years making millions in grant money while sitting in his comfy office at MIT doing nothing but making the odd blog post and ranting about shit without ever doing anything to legally back it up. He pushes a "FOSS license" (the GPL) but have you ever seen him go after any major big tech company for using GPL code for evil? The entire claim he made for working within the IP/Copyright legal system was that the GPL would become a virus and turn it against the people that would take our code and use it against us. But he did nothing of the sort and never used his influence and large yearly salary to go after these large companies that use GPL code everywhere without giving back and use it to spy on end users through various means.

Then he was very happy to go along with a manufactured scandal that boiled down to a PR campaign to kick out and deplatform many long time contributors to FOSS projects. After he'd sat in his comfy MITnigger office for decades getting rich off the grant money he was paid directly from the US Government/DoD along with many of his fellow MITNiggers.

A real idol of FOSS would have encouraged people to do the following things;
>Release your code to the public domain
>Leak any source code you have access to anonymously from big tech companies being used within closed source software
>Follow the hacker ethics laid out in the 60s-90s and never code anything that would be used for evil. Like spying on your friends and family
>If something you coded was used in such a way do everything in your power to expose it and make whomever used your code in that way pay for it

Among other things. But what do we get? Blog posts ranting about shit everyone already knows about. Stallman hasn't even wrote any code in decades now. But he's been more than happy to collect that Government grant money.
