>The only other nodes that jump out is the `Comino.bundle` (15 MB), which has files like `20class_seqlen26_6p5h_20200302-095627_comino_android_production` Guessing these are some sort of model weights

Fuck you. A "toothbrush app" which shouldn't exist in the first place CANNOT justify AI anything.

What an indictment of our entire industry, nobody stopped this at any point. Nobody said "no we can't justify doing this to our customers", nobody said "this is an insane waste of the resources of everyone", nobody said "this is atrocious". APPLE didn't say "No you can't do this to the people we supposedly lock the garden for".

The management of our entire industry needs to be re-educated.

Also, how is it POSSIBLE to ship duplicate files in such an ecosystem? Apple could trivially and invisibly duplicate files in the file system and app submissions.

So it’s all just stupidly big PDFs used as images of the different models? Not what I was expecting. I was expecting it to be more like the Colgate app mentioned later in thread.

That’s insane. They should absolutely, 100% be pulled on demand.
