AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tim Cook will leave the Apple CEO post on Sept. 1 2026 to become executive chairman, handing the role to longtime hardware chief John Ternus, who is seen as a continuity pick but also a potential catalyst for an AI‑focused strategy. Analysts such as Gene Munster describe the change as expected and view it as an opportunity to reshape Apple’s AI narrative, while Dan Ives warns Ternus will face intense scrutiny to prove the company can compete more aggressively in artificial intelligence. The transition was praised by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, who called Cook “a legend,” and by Oculus founder Palmer Luckey, who referenced the viral “Tim Apple” nickname. Apple’s stock closed at $273.05, up 1.04% in regular trading, then slipped to $271.55 after hours. The leadership shift marks the end of Cook’s near‑15‑year tenure and signals a renewed emphasis on integrating AI into Apple’s devices under Ternus’s hardware expertise.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Apple announced that Tim Cook will step down as CEO on Sept. 1, transitioning to the role of executive chairman, with senior vice‑president of hardware engineering John Ternus slated to take over as CEO; the leadership change prompted rapid reactions from tech figures—OpenAI CEO Sam Altman lauded Cook as “a legend” on X, while Anduril founder Palmer Luckey posted a tongue‑in‑cheek “RIP Tim Apple,” referencing the 2019 incident where former President Donald Trump mistakenly called Cook “Tim Apple.” Cook, who has guided Apple for nearly 15 years since Steve Jobs’ resignation, will remain involved in the company’s direction, and the announcement comes after Apple’s 2024 partnership with OpenAI that integrated ChatGPT into Siri and Apple’s writing tools.

You want to understand who liberals are and why they’re not an alternative to fascism? Here’s them giving this son of a bitch a standing ovation after inviting him to present at one of their most sacred events.

(Yes, that’s Palmer Luckey getting a standing ovation after his TED talk.)

“[With Oculus] I was just trying to build toys that delighted people. There was no vengeance, there was no malice, there was no killer instinct involved. I think I didn’t develop that obsession or framing until I felt I was stabbed in the back by a lot of people who should have treated me better.”

If the most successful people in your system are out there writing their own supervillain origin stories maybe your system is a stinking pile of shit.

Palmer Luckey Is Our Most Terrifyingly Deranged Billionaire

The Silicon Valley “war king” thinks an uncontrolled arms race is the route to peace. He is so, so wrong.

Aral Balkan Apr 1

Folks to me a decade ago: Aral, what’s all this tinfoil-hat stuff about Silicon Valley? You’re being alarmist! What’s the worst that could happen? Etc., etc.

Meanwhile, a Silicon Valley billionaire:

> Some people are like “oh, but isn’t it terrible to celebrate the power of weapons?” and I say, you know what, societies have always needed a warrior class that is enthused and excited about enacting violence on others in pursuit of good aims. I think that it’s reasonable for philosophers to degrade those people and whine about how they’re sick in the head. But society needs them. Even if I’m sick in the head. We need people who are willing to fight for our country—and I’m not doing that directly, my life’s not on the line. But you need people like me who are sick in that way and don’t lose any sleep making tools of violence
