@daringfireball Re Tahoe, I don't think it's unique in 'vandalism' of macOS, just a more visible symptom of the rot that's been there for years: iOSification of macOS.

Safari on Sequoia got iOS bookmarks wholesale for eg, inc interaction model (try renaming a folder), with extra bugs, despite Mac approach still being there! (⌥-⌘-B)

Now Tahoe adds incoherent iOS UI.

Rot will continue until macOS has identity + leadership. Until then, just dumping ground for half-baked feature "consistency"!

@daringfireball re AI art that's Actually Good™, see this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NeuralViz . It works because the *writing* isn't AI — AI video brings the writing to life & makes it funnier. Perfect balance IMO

> law is the field least likely to use LLMs

Law is one of the hottest industries for gen AI startups (spellbook, harvey, hebbia, etc)

@daringfireball Citing *Bill Kristol’s* ode to “keep[ing] our nerve and our principles against all the pressure to abandon them” is perverse. It’d be like righteously quoting Steve Bannon as a defender of all that’s right and true in 2044, except Bannon has less blood on his hands. Surely you could find literally anyone else to quote?

@daringfireball Truly baffling bit. I feel like the bigger story of team-switching though is that the Nuvia acquisition seems to be paying off, with claims of 2.6x perf per watt vs. the M3, if those claims are to be believed.

Taking Apple's CPU crown jewels to the competition & then coming out significantly ahead (supposedly...) seems like a big deal! :)

@daringfireball Pretty epic miss for Apple that it was OpenAI and not Apple that demoed next-gen Siri, next-gen Mac-based AI, and next-gen iPad-based tutoring.
