no, no, I'm certain I've seen this dish before. That's ratatouille!
seriously, though. That looks good.

Maybe it's too close to the popularized MCU iron man depending on what you want, but I enjoyed the 6 part Extremis series beatifully illustrated by Adi Granov. It came out 05/06 and you can see how much the movie lifted in origin and appearance and of course they derived the iron man 3 stuff from here. Very science fiction-y.
I don't think you can reply to a text message using a third party watch on iOS but you can with your Apple watch. I've seen that cited as an exclusive API.
Something is stopping another messaging app to have sms fallback and be the default messaging app on iOS. It's iOS.

Do you think the color difference is just to mess with android users or something and is otherwise meaningless? It represents differences in abilities. The abilities are the "degraded" part.

I don't disagree with anything you say. I think it's worth mentioning that the cost of enforcement directly informs the cost of a lease/rental situation. The cheaper they can enforce the contract, the less they can theoretically charge. If they had to get a court order to lock your phone or repo your car, they'd make it more expensive or be much more selective about who they lease/rent to. This maybe enables more people to have phones or get cars?
I swear I'm not rooting for team "aggressive manipulative business behavior widens opportunities for the less well off". Gross. Kind of how I hear about globalization of manufacturing stuff - "they get paid pennies!" "yeah, but that's more than before the factory came? look what they can buy now" I know that's a overly broad generalization but you see those arguments.
The meta bit is that specifically here, it's sort of a derail of the main topic. Some downvotes I'm sure are for that. As for why this essay might generally attract downvotes? I'll follow your locomotive off the track.
I mean, 1. It's a frickin' essay. 2. Comes off as a little cold and sorta "I know better than you do", and 3. seems to completely miss the point of what I interpret as most folks dislike of AI in the current incarnations we are seeing (which isn't a real sci-fi type general AI that gets society to the end point of your essay). I don't think I've ever seen anyone worrying about "what will I do to find purpose in a fully-automated-gay-space-luxury-communism?" (overemphasis mine of course). It's now and the next so many years, not some far off future that (I interpret) folks seem to be worrying about. It's income stability now, careers to go into now, disinformation now, degradation of the internet and media now. I think the zeitgeist here is that it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. I don't think anyone on Lemmy really has high hopes for major players in current economic systems to use AI-as-it-exists-now to make anything better of the world in aggregate. It ain't the tools, it's those who wield them.
Not bad, Jupiter. Considering you have 120x the surface area of earth, that's a lot of moons.
Looks good! Something fun to try is frying up the potato peelings (long strips) with some seasoning for a crispy topping.
