| I wish LLM never existed. At this point I wish smartphones didn't either. |

| There is nothing that guarantees they will exist perpetually. In even a slightly moderate global crisis (man made or otherwise) LLMs and the like will probably one of the first things to go. |

| There are communities and people, like the Amish, who do not engage with technology. In my offline community the people do not use AI and rarely smartphones. At dinner we park the phones or don't bring them to the table. |

| Get rid of your smartphone! It did it eight months ago, no regrets. |

| ▲ | sodapopcan 42 minutes ago | parent [-] | | That would be great, yes. I'm "semi-loud" about it (I'm trying to avoid be obnoxious about it) to hopefully "convert" a few people. But ya, I really hate smartphones, especially now that I don't have one. Now that I can't also stare at my phone in a group of people also staring at their phones, it's become so in my face about how much people do this. I always knew they did, but it's even worse than I thought since I would just do it myself. |

I have standalone camera but with a decent lens it's just too big to have on me at all times and unfortunately I like taking photos. | | |

Just get the APKs of Signal and Google Cam (or just use Graphene's cam app, it's not bad, supposedly). Pixel 10 has 3 camera, wide/normal/tele. Pretty decent imho. |
