@daringfireball @gruber I don’t understand the appeal of scores-only apps.
theScore app is *mainly* scores but also includes basic highlights and AP’s written recaps without gratuitous “analysis” articles, etc. That balance is more useful and appealing to me.

@delric @daringfireball was the “prior bluetooth and car’s media player” a Tesla or a Rivian? I agree that my prior experience with anything *other* than those two was at least 10X worse than CarPlay. But those two are about 2X better than CarPlay in my experience.
@daringfireball I’m not advocating for the cars, but software-wise I strongly preferred my previous Tesla’s iPhone integration (just Bluetooth with remote control UI for phone audio) to my current Honda’s CarPlay. Much less finicky, persistently navigation-forward, and always the same UI.
CarPlay Ultra might be able to match that (I haven’t tried it) but I can’t see CarPlay Regular (a remote iPhone display-style alt UI) being popular a decade from now.
@daringfireball I agreed with you that the utility app icons are regressions because they’re less visually distinct from each other and therefore less glanceable — which is the whole point of icons!
But I don’t think the Safari or Automator icons are “objectively” worse. Less detail can be an enhancement to icons, but not in these cases because it doesn’t match with the macOS style. IMHO those would both be excellent iPhone app icons (though the utility app icons wouldn’t).
@daringfireball welcome back! Conan got straight to the point too: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOyqNKECZMM/
@daringfireball @gruber worth the Bookshop link too (same $2 for the ebook): https://bookshop.org/p/books/on-tyranny-twenty-lessons-from-the-twentieth-century-timothy-snyder/16520165?ean=9780804190121&next=t

@daringfireball I’m interested neither in whether LLMs are the “road to AGI” nor whether people find them “useful.” Only whether they can be trusted often enough — or *rarely* enough! — to avoid lulling us into an undeserved sense of trust.
It seems like their authoritative tone combined with 60-80% accuracy rate (https://originality.ai/blog/what-llm-is-the-most-accurate) is a dangerous combo: confident enough to build our trust, but not accurate enough to deserve it.
how is "6 Out of 5 Stars" not on Apple Music yet? #wwdc25
@daringfireball @gruber I’m curious to see what they make too…but the part of the video when Sam Altman says “If I wanted to ask ChatGPT something right now, think about what would happen: I'd like reach down, I’d get out my laptop, I’d open it up, I’d launch a web browser, I’d start typing, I’d have to like explain that thing, I’d hit enter, I’d wait, I’d get a response. That's at the limit of what the current tool of a laptop can do.” That made me truly LOL. Like…mobile devices and apps exist?
