They could be more clear and more specific but I would not be surprised to see licensing for this as a means of creating yet another compliancre ceiling and quick cash for state government to pinch out of the productive elements of society (those pinching, mostly lawyers, being glorified parasites that offer nothing to productive society other than pay-to-win access to "justice" and serving as time-shared mouthpieces for plutocrats while claiming to represent everyone within whatever unit of representation they hold).
And when even very intelligent, but excessively conceited, people hear the echo of their own reason9ing from conversational autocorrect and assume it is somehow akin to intelligent life, the normies will go with whatever the plutocrats push with their media outlets too absorbed in their own domain specific knowledge (and cowed into intellectual laziness by other media products they consume eagerly) to ever subject it to much thought that Claude might not be Skynet after all.

The twist is that AI is pushing all white collar jobs further into bureaucratic work. Nobody is losing their jobs and it's not quite a revolution, but despite all odds and headlines the younger generations are actually much better educated and positioned to do the right things as they take over.
An optimistic take is that since this is the middle class we're talking about, we get more productivity and more justice as a result. The only people upset about this are grifters and charlatans whose time is up.
You could use a separate project, which sounds nightmaroish given the ecosystem evolving so fast and devs that are let the LLM make beheaded chickens seemm orderly and rational.
Or you can use one of the two to create a common source of context that includes code base mapping and depending on your mileage vectorization of the code itself, which I implement as an init command in oopencode as a first step with a project. The skills specs are universal, agents are too, the rest I am not 100% sure but its mostly just markdown descriptions of things until you get into advanced use cases with SDKs so you can set up a skill or agent using a skill+tool to go "file by file, method by method" then write a bash script or find a bloated multimodel harness to have each use it for your purposes.
I still open Neovim, or yazi at the very least, just as much as before, gotta see what OpenCOde has been up to or it will slop the whole NixOS configuration to hell while you are looking away. And that is for my personal declarative OS set up being homeless and been on an unlucky since right before COVID but had the ability to learn all this niche crap and now LLMs make it possible to keep learning in ever less stable conditions. You are being reckless as all hell with the code you with take the `git blamne` for and could hurt more than just yourself if you are being as careless as this suggests...
More easily because in a democratic society there is absolutely no risk of having something like that come out and the need for the autocrat to save face and jealously assert the civil servant acted outside of the will of the autocrat thus behead the arbitrary civil servant to cheering crowds according to popular demand.
At worst the person gets fired and is prohibited from public sector jobs at that tier of government afterwards for a period of time while the story is fresh in peoples minds, in the rare case the plutocratic owned media let's such a story come out of its mass media products about the not-paid-for bureaucratic elements of government in hopes of reducing polarization that comes from over-promoting one of the arbitrarily different parties as a means of providing the commoners what Orwell called "Two Minutes Hate" or a means of obtaining cathartic release from the tensions that making them believe they are somehow co-authors of the government to keep them engaged as willing participants.

This explains the current state of US mass media so well...
Since these things can be made into forks with minor difference relatively easily, instead of playing along with this tech company + creepy government data grab because California says so
So much for privacy I guess, hence pulling out this protecting children BS that I saw too many kids at my urban CA highschool get stabbed to fall for. The fact these tactics still work, where we limit our toothless privacy protections that the firms that don't comply the state might eventually sue when someone with more money than I presses the Attorney General, but then dial it back marketing it as protecting children and people still buy it? Absurd these same people work at such bleeding edge tech firms but then again LLMs can do that busy work they actually are doing better most of the time....
See the rest the comments for examples pedantic discussions about terms that are ultimately somewhat arbitrary and if anything suggest the singularity will be runaway technobabble not technological progress.
1. More cellphone companies is a good thing, especially if paying lipservice to what consumers want. Which may not be ideal but steps in the right direction, consumers themselves need to take the next step their since it is their money.
2. Feeling like your phone is listening to you implies you lack self awareness to deduce why the things you think or discuss with others are reflected in your metadata. You use the internet as a sounding board for thoughts, there is a pattern to it and that is all happening non-verbally. Turning the mic off is unlikely to make this go away.
3. If this makes you paranoid, it should and that paranoia only becomes medically relevant if it impedes your ability to do things you want to do but is otherwise a healthy adaptation that in many contexts would aide in your continued survival. This might be worth keeping in mind, not trying to run away from. Quick fixes in life generally are just traps.
Honestly if you care about privacy, leave your cellphone at home. It will do wonders for your mental health also not having a dopamine generator in your pocket.
I just want to point out that it sounds like the privacy switch doesn’t disable the cellular radio. Which I guess makes sense in a way because if you are disabling all signals from your mobile device, what’s the point of even carrying it? Might as well leave your phone at home.
Basically: "Watch me apply the UNIX philosophy to LLM agents. Look Ma, I am figuring stuff out! If I don't point out that's what I am doing, no one ever notices!"
Given that sugar pills still have a curative effect on some portion of patients and that 100% effective sounds pretty unscientific as a figure (nothing is 100% hence the need to use statistical confidence). I pray that I am wrong in smelling something being rotten in this lot but only time will tell.
