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.

The fact they chose india is probably for the low wages. So I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Given the state of the world, those volcanoes are probably already owned by foreign investors to use as land banks.

Speaking metaphorically they basically have to create "doors" for the hundreds of "walls" they made to originally prevent this.

I say "doors" since they will probably make them oddly shaped and hard to access to still make it difficult to allow you in.

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.

The Terminator in the first movie used a phone book to hunt down and kill all the Sarah Connors it could find

I am guessing noone is suing discord for hosting these groups were Nintendo might be threatening a lawsuit for hosting these devs.

So not a matter of morals but self-preservation.
