Or leave Android altogether and get a Linux phone. You’ll have more control but it won’t be as slick.
At first Google does plan to offer something called “advanced flow” that will let you install what you want. But this doesn’t address the chilling effect for developers (some are just getting out of Android rather than registering and paying Google), or the censorship power it hands to Google to make “undesirable” apps harder to obtain and install. And there’s no guarantee they won’t just withdraw “advanced flow” one day.

Technology@lemmy.world•Companies Are Throttling Employees’ AI Use Because It’s Too ExpensiveEnglish
71·8 days agoMaybe you’re confusing tokens with the “credits” you pay for. Tokens have a technical meaning, but some companies are charging per AI credit, where they don’t tell you the conversion rate of credits to tokens, so they can change this at any time, or vary it between models, etc.

Technology@lemmy.world•Stuart Russell: 'What Hitler Did, AI Could Do Faster, Better and More Efficiently'English
3·11 days agoI think you’ve missed the point a bit. It’s “better” only from the Nazis’ point of view. Stuart Russell is not saying that it would be better. He thinks it would be worse, because people or AIs being better at Nazism is worse for the world overall. He’s saying AI is a threat because right now it’s in the hands of people (many of them fascists) who ignore the dangers.
Here’s the whole thing without paywall:

13·17 days agoThere are all kinds of zines. They’re really just cheaply produced magazines for a usually fairly niche interest group. They don’t have to be leftist, though right-wingers usually lack the imagination to produce an interesting zine.
