Paging Mr. False Equivalency…

Two reasons why I’m not interested in letting AI ghostwrite for me:

1) Writing is how I think things through and come to conclusions.

2) Above all, I am motivated by the possibility that I have not yet written the best thing I’ll ever write.

Independent writers are using AI agents all throughout their reporting process. What’s the value of a human journalist, anyway?

I’ve never once wanted to use Siri in order to use ChatGPT. The whole idea of one AI being a gateway to another seems like an unhealthy stopgap. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-26/apple-plans-to-open-up-siri-to-rival-ai-assistants-beyond-chatgpt-in-ios-27

The memories in this story are so precious, and I’m very grateful to the 23 people who shared them. Some were teenagers when Apple was born, but most were in their 20s, 30s, or even 40s back then. https://www.fastcompany.com/91514404/apple-founding-50th-anniversary-apple-1-apple-ii-jobs-wozniak?mvgt=E5Loo3fO74zl

Among the things that surprised me as I interviewed people for our oral history of Apple’s origin story is that several people referred to the very young Steve Jobs doing things that are more technical than I associate with him. https://www.fastcompany.com/91514404/apple-founding-50th-anniversary-apple-1-apple-ii-jobs-wozniak?mvgt=kiimQhPOTihz

I can’t begin to tell you how much fun I had talking to people who were present at Apple’s creation—Woz, of course, but so many more. I learned so much, and really did feel like I was there. So will you, I think. Here’s a gift link which you’re welcome to share: https://www.fastcompany.com/91514404/apple-founding-50th-anniversary-apple-1-apple-ii-jobs-wozniak?mvgt=E5Loo3fO74zl

I’m getting way more spam calls lately. At least they are in English and seem to be from actual humans. Anyone else notice an uptick?

Presumably it wouldn’t be too hard for Google to quickly stand up a Sora clone.
A Nora Banana, or Nano Bannora.

Oh, sure, Sora, RUB IT IN.
