Comment I agree with Apple. (Score 1) 17

Being able to create a run time app in another app is a huge security hole.

I remember back in the day when Flash was not designed for object oriented coding I could interpret text as code objects. So basically, I could do anything. And due to the nature of browsers at the time, I had to learn to check for a variable in a browser window to make sure I wasnâ(TM)t running code after a window was closed. Meaning; I had access to every window of a browser until the app itself was exited.

I did not abuse my power but i could have done a lot of abuse.

I expect targeted surge pricing. Like plane tickets will go up in price if they know you searched before, or if you mentioned a wedding or if someone close to you is also buying a ticket.

And the it might get so random as to base prices on willingness to pay. Already this is happening with delivery services and taxis.

And then it might be; late at night, last store open and they can raise the price of baby formula because they know you are out.

And then it might be that you said something in social media that suggested we raise taxes on the wealthy. So you end up paying more at the grocery store.

Once an AI agent can be assigned to track and connect each customer to a profile, the profit potentials are endless.

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

Theyâ(TM)ll block porn right after the ability to create it with AI is easy to download and use.

Humans are notoriously clever at getting around censorship.

But also , I donâ(TM)t want to be around the USA when itâ(TM)s run by Christian Nationalists. Iâ(TM)m not that much of a freak. Thereâ(TM)s no hate like Christian love and no perversion like the repressed.

This is all about control and continuous warping of minds.
