  • I think it’ll be cool if it knew all of the safe commands on your phone and had a prompt to “return a list of commands in order from the user’s prompt”. So like, if you want to play a playlist, set it to shuffle but queue five songs, it should be able to do that. I feel like the people who make this stuff don’t actually use it. Like on Google Maps on Android Auto, some buttons like the direction mute button is so tiny and could easily be enlarged, even if it’s less aesthetically pleasing


  • I remember asking my phone to navigate for me as I often do. Far easier than opening up a map, looking for locations, etc. Just what Google Assistant was always supposed to be for. It was cold and I was wearing gloves also. But this time, it was Gemini on my phone. Instead of passing the query into Google maps, she just starts reciting directions to me using outdated bus timetables instead of using Google maps with the live times and delays plugged into it. Or when I asked it to set a timer and it started giving me instructions on how to set a timer on both Android and iOS. Thankfully I figured out how to set it back to assistant. Sure, an LLM is great when you’re having a debate in the car and need to ask it for info, but not for everything. It’s like the whole “chatgpt vs stockfish chess match”

    That was a referendum, but my point basically was that the government was like “we have a mandate to leave the EU fully” when the vote result was like… 52% in favour, and many people (including some I know personally) regret voting leave because they didn’t realise how significant the EU was.

    Of course, there was a 2019 election where the conservative party won on a “get brexit done”’ campaign under Boris Johnson, but their opposition was split between Lib Dems (wanted a second referendum and was quite clear) and Labour (run under Corbyn who already lost an election, was extremely incompetent and hard to elect, and decided for some reason in this crucial time to fencesit the entire Brexit issue. All I can remember is them offering free WiFi which has the same vibes of the 2024 national service campaign)
