I give EU regulators a hard time for being too conservative in tech regulation but I’ll always give them credit for at least understanding the problem space.
The real AI risk is discriminatory algorithms not Skynet becoming self aware and dropping nukes.
US regulators on the other hand are either mouthpieces of lobbyists or regurgitating viral tweets
100% recommend watching this #wwdc session. Special shoutout to all the animations that helped make a more complicated topic easy to grasp.

Awesome job @cocoafrog! 👏
@airspeedswift @Migueldeicaza previously I think we used to think of startups in terms of "making it" or "not making it". Like, maybe they'll be a Google or maybe they'll be a Yahoo.
But the reality is actually that if it checks all the boxes of:
1) basically a middleman
2) free (or running at a loss)
3) propped up by venture capital
Then the question is not "will it succeed or fail?" but rather "will it fail before or after becoming a worthless rent-seeking leech that everyone despises?"
I don’t think I’ve said how intriguing I find SwiftData.
Everyone I’ve worked with over the years had *scars* from CoreData, so when I started my developer journey I just avoided it. Don’t need to tell me twice. My apps have modest data needs so I use PropertyListEncoder.
*Eventually* I’ll need to use something more substantial and I hope SwiftData can be it. I’ll be more than happy to let @twostraws light the path here.
