1- When I was younger) I thought that the lessons of #WWII would forever inoculate us against overt fascism.

Some Visions Aren't Worth Having

I watch Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) keynote every year like people watch the Superbowl β€” snacks, celebratory anticipation, the works. The greatest ones over the years remain memorable long after, conveying master showmanship and a clarity of vision for technology that makes life better. Ironically, while introducing a device called Vision Pro, this year’s conference felt like an aimless stumble towards dystopia.

APPLE VISION PRESENTER: "Jesus Fucking Christ! Tell me you did NOT let an AI assemble these memories!"

AI: "Death is an important moment."

APPLE VISION PRESENTER: "Shut up, Siri! You're not helping!"
