Have fun cleaning Cornucopia.

Isn't Siri just a bunch of devs in a room editing conditional statements? They'd have to throw out the ecosystem once they embraced a real AI.

Don’t forget about how they desperately try to figure out what to do with their hands.

Personally, I always loved the way Tim Cook would always do this little bouncy thing while he talked. He kept his knees always bent a bit, and every few words would do a little tiny bounce. Once you see it…

I noticed in the cook years that presenters legs are often strangely spread apart. Looked very … weird like ‘stand up man spreading’

Since 2019 it has been a requirement for promotions above Senior Director, to be able to stand with your feet 24" apart while conducting a product review. They have a special ruler (titanium!) in the Apple Park basement to measure promotion candidates.

Did you miss the /s or are you serious? Wow

It is distracting. Just use your hands normally. It just feels a bit alien and scripted.

To Apple, files are an unsightly thing they need to sweep under the carpet, if you have to interact with files they probably believe they’ve done something wrong.

Look at Apple Mail, they used to bury attachments behind a button and even now they just drop them at the end of the email.

Ignorance of how computers work is a moat. One that Apple influenced the entire industry to adopt.

Same reason the Church didn't want to translate the Bible into the vernacular. If you can read the Bible you don't need a priest, or at the least you can evaluate your priest knowledgeably and decide to go to a different one.

> if you have to interact with files they probably believe they’ve done something wrong.

So it's wrong to be power user using mac.

shouldnt a mac power user be the best at never touching a file?

Then why did Apple keep the hierarchical file system when moving away from HFS? Could've gone with a kv-store kind of system.

Ugh...this is totally going to happen.

Not going to name names but it's already happening with the frontier labs as a revenue source.

I feel like you legitimately cannot say it for legal reasons, but I wish we would just name these freaking things.

Didn’t OpenAI claim they’re going to make a billion dollars off ads in a year or something?

True but they'll probably never integrate ads into the model's thinking (for now it's only a separate display in the apps). When tokens are a commodity you'll just switch to the one you can trust and since all labs are soon going to become tokenmeter companies (Sam's own words), I don't think they can afford to do that.

Yes, they promised ads would be separated from the answer and clearly labelled as such.

Just like when Google promised ads would be separated from the organic results and clearly labelled as such... Until they put them at the front of the result with a small grey "sponsored" label.

Answer engine optimization (AEO)

They gave it the same design language as their vacuums, and honestly I don't think they want people making that association. It's kinda ick.

Would be fun if it had a little dirt reservoir you have to empty of all the teeth gunk.

I was a little excited at the idea of a toothbrush that would suck my teeth and gums, and then was very disappointed when it turned out to be a camera in my mouth.

No, they're taking the heat because they VERY selectively acted on this as quickly as possible while other issues they are more than happy to sit on. Don't confuse this for anything other than kissing the ring.

Google can take months or YEARS to make updates but this one it makes almost immediately? Don't confuse this for anything but kissing the ring.

A bit hyperbolic dont you think? Even if you disagree with the politics, you'd agree that updating a random restaurant's opening hours is different from updating a national landmark.

For instance, I checked Nepal area and Google Maps already shows the area as flood affected. It didnt take years.

Really? I thought Maps was pretty constistently up to date with GNIS changes.

GMaps can be extremely slow when it comes to responding to user reports, or updating regional info like road networks or new subdivisions. A lot of that comes down to the fact that Google relies on government entities for authoritative information, which can mean waiting months or years for the local government to provide new info. The federal government updated this one quickly.

In my local area Google Maps is still missing some rather crucial elements of a high-throughput road, which were added to OpenStreetMaps almost two years ago.

Autocomplete aside, this is a pretty nifty tool.
