The internet is not the web, as you should know if you are still here in 2025. Videos with and without audio as well as music are all on the net. AI, including LLMs with the right interfaces, can watch humans, listen to humans, and perceive music just as well as we can. Stop and think before you post next time.

Bullshit. Einstein didn't observe that nothing can move faster than light; he concluded this based on his thought experiment and then formulated his theory.

You mean it spouts a bunch of words it strings together, never saying anything intelligent, and having no idea what an intelligent person will make of it? It seems AI is more like you than you realize.

It's pretty evident that you have never had a discussion with Carl.

Your argument then is that people cannot think, since people are biological machines. Of course, you can argue that that statement is true or not depending on your definition of machine, but of course this is the same problem as trying to say something can or cannot think without having a scientifically testable definition of that word. In short, you either get that I don't need to prove you think and you can't prove any significantly complex neural network based system doesn't, or you aren't any better at thinking than an LLM that is at least as useful as you might be in any given scenario.

I see what you did there. We know that we say people can think, but most would see that you clearly don't. That was clever.

Where, prey tell, do you think humans get the vast majority of their "knowledge" in 2025? The question of if the internet is the right place to find information is completely separate from the question of if an LLM or any random human is capable of independent thought and critical analysis. News flash: neither the LLM nor the typical human under 30 years of age is capable of thinking, and experience shows that at least the LLM I have used is far better at holding an intelligent conversation than the typical "modern" human.

Look, it's not just that iOS 26 has bugs. Bugs are fine. All software has bugs.

But iOS 26 is incoherent. It makes the system less intuitive and harder to use. It reneges on design principles laid down in Apple's Human Interface guidelines. I don't even mind how flashy it is--the glass effect really IS cool sometimes. But touch targets are worse, information bleed-through is confusing, and it does the EXACT OPPOSITE of the claimed design intention to show you more of your content. The UI is bigger and more in your way at every turn. You can see less of what you want to see at any given time in a measurable way. (Seriously, people have measured it.)

Try this out: take a screenshot. Go into the screenshot interface. The control to delete the screenshot is under the checkmark, not the X. The X dismisses the screenshot but also deletes it, though it doesn't give any indication that it's going to delete the screenshot. Now if you take a screenshot of THAT screenshot, it adds a second one, fine. But if you go into the checkmark, your option is to delete BOTH. If you tap the X, NOW there's a control to delete just one.

Apple's stuff really did used to be simpler and more usable, based on tested and measurable design principles. Design wasn't just a look, it was also a science that included usability and interaction.

Alan Dye has ruined every interface he's come into contact with. I was on board with the iOS 7 flat-design revolution even with all its flaws, but we're in a whole different, unusable space now. Bring Scott Forestall back.

Anonymous Cowards, always stupiding up the comments.

We KNOW from survey data that people with trucks in North America rarely or never use the truck bed, and 70% never tow anything with it.

If that's true, they're not buying a truck because it's good at truck stuff, they're buying it for reasons that are superficial, because a truck is worse at literally everything to do with driving on roads than cars UNLESS they're towing or hauling something.

You can look it up yourself.

The Meta AI(s) that regular people will use are being thwarted by this dipshit. The next time you think you have something clever to say, just trust me, you don't.

No, you can't.

It is nearly impossible to do the things you said unless you don't want to have a job, or eat, or participate in society in any way. I buy food at the farmer's market (when I can, which is to say, in the summer), I buy shampoo bars and get refills of various things in my resealable (plastic) containers. But my medication comes in a plastic pill bottle. I'm a programmer, so my computer has a certain amount of plastic in it. Even my bikes have a certain amount of plastic in them that I have absolutely no control over (or if not plastic, carbon fibre). (I have bikes because I haven't owned a car for 15 years now.)

There is no way out. The problem isn't us. We've been given no choice in so many of these matters. Particularly in North America, where train coverage is abysmal and the cities are built for cars. We KNOW who the 100 biggest polluters in the world are. We KNOW that carbon footprint is a scam concocted by the oil and gas industry to shift the blame from corporations to consumers, so people like you will do their propaganda for them. I want to keep living, so I buy things made out of plastic because I'm simply not offered a single other choice. I'll wager that my 'carbon footprint' is in the bottom quartile, and it doesn't matter, I still have to buy this shit and prop up the 'demand'.

He is clearly able to just block the queries. Intentionally making systems that humans who have no connection to Meta will use isn't pissing in Meta's cereal bowl ... which I am for 100%; it pisses in everyone's bowl.

LOL ... When I read the "we have the technology" part of their post I immediately thought of the intro to "The Bionic Man" as well. For those who are constantly misusing the term meme: this phenomenon is the result of a real meme.

I get that you are new here but this is literally the reason for the "Ask Slashdot" category on Slashdot. Complaining that some one used "Ask Slashdot" to ... wait for it, ... ask the Slashdot community a question, is completely asinine.

This isn't going to happen because anyone with the skills to do it has already learned the lesson: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should."
