@imdavidpierce hey what’s going on with the Apple Podcast feed for the vergecast? I can’t find the podcast from this story in overcast on the ad free or regular version feeds: https://www.theverge.com/podcast/897900/ai-trust-gap-killer-app-vergecast

Why people really hate AI

As companies try to put AI in more places, more and more users say they want less AI in their lives. Explaining that gap, plus the future of foldable phones, on The Vergecast.

Maybe Ternus can finally give me what I want - the everything device: A folding iPhone that is iOS when closed, iPadOS (or like it, i don't care that much on this point) when opened, and MacOS when docked to a display with KB&M.

I want a single device that can handle all of my most frequent computing use cases. Yes, I'd still probably need a beefier computer for high-power use cases, but I want 95% of my computing to be a single device. It's definitely possible.

Due to reasons, I consider the comfort of a bathroom very important. One of the most important aspects is toilet paper. And the Hilton Resort Sedona at Bell Rock should be ashamed that the toilet paper in their rooms is considerably worse than the toilet paper found at the bathroom at the trail head of Bell Rock.

I should start a review site where I review the TP quality of the hotels I visit while traveling. Most would get a 1/5.

I always return home with a… unhappy rear.

Good! They're laying off humans at a record pace in order to juice their stock prices and further facilitate this bubble. Take 'em all out.

Been playing PS3 a bunch lately and I’m reminded that system was like my favorite of all time. I never play multiplayer online much, but the only reason I have it connected to my network is so I can still sync trophies 😅

I really miss the form factor of the DualShock 3 controller. Yes, the weak point is for sure R2 & L2, but everything else about it is very good. A high quality controller that feels great in the hands and has probably the most input options of all modern controllers - pressure sensitivity for all buttons is wild.

Gunna start writing and recording myself saying things like “I am not alive, this is a computer simulacrum of me. Never forget that!” So that if I’m ever recreated by my family post-mortem they will hopefully be reminded by me that the thing they’re talking to is *not* actually me.

PepsiCo owns Yum Brands which includes Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut, in case that is of interest to anyone.
