They’re kinda comparing apples and oranges, fairphone doesn’t really have a budget phone.

They just have one model, which they gradually upgrade the hardware of and gives a new number.

Right now there’s barely any sellers of a Fairphone 4 as an example, and you’re able to get it for ~400 euroes from refurbished condition sellers.

Most brands, continues to sell old models. Which ends up as the budget phone 3 generations down the line. But fairphone doesn’t, they only sell a fairly powerful phone from new condition.

And the consistency required, especially for steaming.

Disappear for a month and lose 30% of your audience, it’s brutal

need to crowd fund a comedy statue that will get them loads of publicity?

Because it gives them loads more of publicity, also people loves to be involved if they have a chip in it.

Why do people buy subscriptions for the biggest streamers, earning 10s of thousands of dollars in ad revenue each month? Because they want to be a part of it, they want to chip in to let the show go on

Garlic is an onion, other poster didn’t specify white onion

I used to work with a guy that’d make everyone laugh, and estimate tasks like he’d never get shit done.

He wasn’t the fastest developer, but his quality was alright. I’m pretty confident everyone else however got more shit done, simply because it was a lot nicer and calmer to work those projects.

Any large project needs the moral boosters, for smaller projects it’s a little more complicated

The same should apply to companies who build AI, if it’s used to hack someone or make CSAM.

Only if they host the model, if it’s a self hosted open source model, the entity hosting the model should be held accountable

Also to keep your analogy going, if I tell you how to make a grenade. You then go out to buy supplies, make the grenade and blow up your neighbour, should I be held accountable for sharing knowledgea? Because I’m yet to hear about anyone getting into trouble for distributing the anarchist’s cookbook
