The Insta360 Luna looks cool. Amazing how relentless they seem to be about competing with DJI… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWscweuterk

I don’t believe there’s any legit demand for people wanting to generate sloppified fictions of friends & loved ones. By Jared White

Phone call audio output options that you probably don't want are now nestled in a second-level menu.

Bending Spoons is a pretty horrific company. They’ve basically destroyed the great experience of Wetransfer and Vimeo (though the latter has obviously gone down hill in recent years) plus many more.
If you hear them sniffing around your company get worried. https://mastodon.macstories.net/@johnvoorhees/116729935801873389

“Bending Spoons is trying to go public at $20 billion. I went through the S1 and there's some scary shit there. If your company gets bought by Bending Spoons, things have gone badly, and then they're not going to get better for you personally.” From Channels with Peter Kafka: Brian Stelter on the 60 Minutes Mess; Nilay Patel on Apple’s AI Problem, Jun 10, 2026 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/channels-with-peter-kafka/id1080467174?i=1000771997954&r=4032

A day later and I feel even more confident in this: Siri is going to be the AI that most consumers end up using most of the time (if they have an iPhone). It's the AI you have with you, with access to everything. And yes, it's finally good enough. https://spyglass.org/siri-ai/

Apple Wins Consumer AI By Default

As the iPhone becomes the first true AI device...

Trying out Indigo, which merges Mastodon and Bluesky into one app. Which means I’ve created a Bluesky account.

Please send me suggestions for people to follow on Bluesky, who aren’t on Masto. 😄

The teaser trailer for the sequel to The Social Network is here — they’re calling the movie "a companion piece" to the first film. Jeremy Strong nails Zuckerberg’s voice & mannerisms. The hint of Reznor/Ross at the end is great. https://kottke.org/26/06/the-social-reckoning

This is my annual reminder of the facts about Apple betas:

1. Different people have different experiences
2. Betas do not get linearly more stable with each release
3. There may be issues that don't reveal themselves in the first 48 hours

“These daily usage limits on image generation may seem harsh, but you should remember two things. First, Image Playgrounds relies on powerful server models which cost a lot of money to run. Second, if you begin regularly using Image Playgrounds in the way we showed in the demo, these limits will also be the main thing standing between you and all your friends starting a group chat you're not a member of.”
