Remember when malware pretended to be a little guy? Why did they stop doing that? If Discord promised that you could be friends with a cartoon gorilla, people would be falling over themselves to give out their social security numbers

I work with Instructional Designers and faculty/professors at the college level, and the amount of time spent in our collaboration meetings talking about how students are, or could potentially game their education with AI just keeps increasing.

It's exhausting.

It feels analogous to game designers trying to figure out how to prevent cheating.

None of this is a new observation. But I can say experiencing it really wears one down.

Hell yes it has. I love TextSniper.

Noticing how poor my iPhone battery life has gotten (I’m on my second battery).

Me: “Hey Siri, when did the iPhone 12 mini come out?”

Siri (HomePod): “A visit to Apple.com should be able to help you with that.”

The second person was more helpful. But they also waffled on why I can't connect MyChart to Apple Health, eventually just falling back to “we are not participating.”

MultiCare bought out the office I am currently going to. And it seems they are playing their own enshitification game with healthcare in Washington State.

It's a bunch of nonsense, likely due to a lack of due diligence on some administrators part. Or, it's to somehow cut costs with MyChart/Epic.

I've had OK experiences with my doctor so far. But this situation is really silly. It took two calls to confirm things with MyChart support. The first person I talked to lectured me on how Apple Health is insecure. And then hung up on me when I explained how that didn't make sense.
