"We're the last people in this business who give a shit about making great computers."
I already shared this clip on X and Bluesky earlier today, but I wanted to say a little bit more about it. I think that this newly discovered footage of Steve Jobs congratulating Apple employees at an outdoor all-hands meeting at the Infinite Loop campus following MacWorld New York in 1999 is some of the most important that exists of him. It’s awfully rare footage, not just because it’s an internal meeting but because it shows a behind the scenes look at life at Apple in those early days of his return.

Uwe TrenknerFrom the article: "This breach is one of several recent high-profile incidents caused by the increasing use of AI agents within US tech companies. Last month, a report from the Financial Times said Amazon experienced at least two outages related to the deployment of its internal AI tools."
Amazon employees later said, that AI integration have led to "glaring errors, sloppy code and reduced productivity".

Martin De WulfTIL that Madagascar is NOT "a little island in the Pacific".
In reality Madagascar is 20 times bigger than Belgium and has 3 times the population: https://www.woatlas.com/compare/madagascar/belgium/
@siracusa Also, is this deterministic? Or will it be the Grand Theft Auto Vice City of rendering where if you look away and then back, the rendering will be subtly or obviously different?
@siracusa the “original” image looks like it’s a render from 15 years ago. Is that intentional, to make the result look even better?
