@gruber I don’t expect you to answer this. Totally fine if you don’t.

I am just curious if you have a vibe about what the legs are on this “falling out.” They clearly took your reaction to the AI stuff personally. Enough to make a choice that makes them seem pretty petty to a casual observer.

I am certainly hoping they get over it. Not so much for the Talk Show live. Just disturbs me to think about the years you have defended them when you thought they deserved it. That should be worth a lot more than one pretty reasonable criticism.

Amazing column from Dan. Huge loss for Macworld and its readers, but he goes out with a fucking bang!

Apple Intelligence – Smug and gross

Today marks the release of Apple’s foray into generative AI that all the kids are talking about. Now, I’m not exactly an Gen AI booster, but I do see how it can be valuable for certain tasks (I’ve …

Blankbaby
@blankbaby It’s amazing not a single one of these companies can make an ad about AI that doesn’t come across as anti-human.
Much more than what? Complete and utter vaporware? A slick lie packed up by a disingenuous white supremacist trying desperately to save his failing company and keep investors from bailing? A service or product resembling anything even remotely real?! https://flipboard.com/@theverge/the-verge-5hobbaa8z/-/a-ah9efq6UTXinDiB-ck0Vpw%3Aa%3A43611565-%2F0
The Tesla Cybercab is a cool-looking prototype that needed to be much more than that

Elon Musk promised a brighter future, but believing him requires an enormous leap of faith. Tesla CEO Elon Musk could have taken the stage at last night’s “We, Robot” event and put a lot of fears to rest. He could have released comprehensive safety data for the company’s Full Self-Driving feature …

Trump threatened to abandon NATO allies in his Detroit speech “I will not protect you.” This is but one small, but critically important, data point if he becomes President again. All of Europe is endangered by Trump and his insane MAGA stance.

He must be defeated for this and 1,000 other reasons. #USPolitics

@mikahsargent finally catching up on Clockwise. Your pick of Adventureland caught me by surprise and pleased me greatly. Such an underrated gem.
@siracusa my brother, the button on the iPhone and the cases is sapphire, not quartz. It doesn’t matter, but I can’t help it.
