I figured this was the case already for all models.

You seriously don't know "Maryland Man's" story. Wow. You really are just in a information vacuum.

They aren't. This is democrat propaganda. "Maryland man" is an illegal immigrant with a deportation order.

That purchase was the beginning. The people fighting hard against Musk are the real authoritarians for hating free speech. Then they use their imagination to claim he did a nazi salute when he is waving to a crowd. The left wants you to stop believing your own eyes. Doing something that looks similar is not the same as doing said action. When you literally denounce everything about nazis, then the people still call you a nazi and start burning your vehicles, then you know who the real authorizations are.

You can literally get an AI to say anything with the right prompt. It's extremely easy.

The biggest and primary purpose of the U.S. government is to maintain its borders. Going after people who crossed into the country illegally is very much within scope of our democratic laws and actions for our democratically elected officials who happened to run their campaign on doing just that. This is not Big Government, it is the will of the people.

The government shouldn't take an ownership share, nor should it be propping up a failing company in the first place. While actually owning a piece of what you are spending money on is 'better' for the government than just granting/gifting money away, both are two sides to the same coin. Intel is a failing company that makes slower, more buggy, and more expensive chips. You can have one of those fault but not all three. The government may as well still grant the money instead because the shares of this company is going to be worthless.

Well yes they need pick the right horse to survive the turmoil, but its still gambling because no one knows the the winner right now. All options are not equal and will not have equivalent capabilities in various capabilities and who does the leap frogging is not known. For example Grok 4 greatly exceed GPT 4 in every metric and even after the release of GPT 5 later on, Grok still remained ahead in nearly every intelligence metric. Point being that leapfrogging is not a certainty even with the most popular and powerful models. You could say they should choose Grok then but by just choosing the leader, you are shooting yourself in the foot, like they did with GPT3 for Apple Intelligence.

The problem with picking ChatGPT, Grok, or Gemini to power Apple's AI and Siri is that we are in a period of high growth and significant change where these models leap frog each other every couple of months. If Apple gets committed to a single provider they are basically gambling on a horse, and as they did with the first version of Apple Intelligence based on a early version of ChatGPT, they will have a high change of falling flat on their face. Anything they do now will be a step up from their current last place position in AI however as a device specialist the best option is to give users their own choice of AI that works best for them.

These kind of click bait studies and articles look too far into the future to have any actual relevant information. Even looking only 5 years into the future the click bait articles are usually wrong. As an example, we've been "5 years away" from the ice caps being totally melted for around 20 years now. The beaming tech is based purely on theoretical uses and even if they said EU would be at 1% usage 5 years away, they would still probably be wrong here.

If I was friends with or even just talking to someone who had a recording capable camera on their head at all times then I would simply stop hanging out with that person. Although I will definitely watch all the 'worst first date ever' and 'cancel this person for saying X' videos that get posted online.

Note "Not a single one did" with Trump as well. So don't try to blame one side. You are delusional.

Currently if I am doing any thing of importance with AI then literally the entire thing id does needs to be verified and checked. Using it like Google is less important, but anything done in an actual business environment can't take best guesses ever, but always 100% correct. This is why it will not replace most or even any software in the end.

Paypal's actions have absolutely nothing to do with Republicans or even religion, your biases are showing. Trump literally just signed an very broad executive order just last week that guarantee's fair banking, where banks cannot de-bank for reputational risks and that being precisely worded as saying they cannot de-bank for "customer’s political or religious beliefs, or on the basis of the customer’s or potential customer’s lawful business activities that the financial service provider disagrees with or disfavors for political reasons." The broadness of that last sentence means things that are legal but a banker may not like cannot be banned, like violent or sexual video games.

As a user the Paypal seems horrible to me although it still has its place for making certain person to person transactions. I much prefer something like a Stripe enabled checkout for almost all websites. And still as for person to person transactions, I would also always prefer Cash App, Apple Pay, or Venmo (which is owned by Paypal). It just seems like Paypal should be put out to pasture.
