@daringfireball I’m pretty pleased sbout getting the superior, slop-free iOS. With Siri relegated to the bin.

I do wonder how Google, Viboslop etc. keep getting away with ramming their own “AI” rod down people’s throats without repercussion. Begging for forgiveness rather than permission? Calling out the customary EU habit of toothless response?

@js no one would force you to use it though.

We who actually want it are left out because EU bureaucrats are making these stupid decisions on our behalf.

@nstrm If you think that, you haven’t been paying much attention to the slop-e13n that’s been going on.

Furthermore, its very presence, its existence, is harmful. Inefficient beyond scale, predatory, biased, deskilling, fundamentally flawed, and ecocidal to the core.

We need water, air, bees, and a bit of energy to survive. We need a functioning ecosystem. We cannot survive the whoever burns up the planet quickest gets to rule the ashes race.
