Yeah, but coffee tastes better

Build a feature into iOS that immediately accesses the caller's bank balance. If it's over a certain amount, the caller needn't go through screening. This will restore sanity and balance to this untenable situation.

Yeah, one more redesign of the UI isn't something anybody asked for. Just like AI -- just because it's shiny and new (or in this case recycled) doesn't do a thing to fix the problems with Win11. Start putting out competent updates and dial back the user manipulation, and maybe then you can think about new features.

If AI can eliminate that much work (a big if), then the massive layoffs will tank the economy, and their stock will go down.

Even if the AI CEOs are right, and China is 6 months behind, that only means that the rate of improvement is more important than the questionable benchmarks they cite. And in that regard, China is far ahead.

Here's hoping SpaceX gets some serious competition.

I've got Siri turned off and I'll leave it turned off

We're gonna get pinheads

Vibe coding all the way

Zuck had an idea once of how to appeal to peoples' basest instincts, and rode it to a substantial fortune. Since then, all he knows how to do is chase the latest trend, and he's not very good at it.

Emphasis on imitating the workings of the brain ignores the fact that our nervous system doesn't end at the neck, and things that we do automatically may require little or no processing in the brain itself. In short, it's a wholistic problem, and looking at individual neurons may not supply the whole answer.

If I hated social media (and I do), whyever would I be interested in a social media app? It would be like selling meat to a vegetarian.

You're not missing anything, and neither are the other commenters who pointed that out. MAGA types are proud of being ignorant and anti-science. Surely to them more power means better. Plus it will play well with the base -- "We gave your wifi more power! Biden couldn't do that!"

"Microsoft is advising users to 'understand the security implications of enabling an agent on your computer.'" Figures. Legal told them to put in a disclaimer to help with the inevitable lawsuits. Either this thing can't access your personal data and is therefore useless, or it can and is therefore a huge security risk. Can't have it both ways.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we used to demand an unmanned mission that was successful from end to end before we put people on the vehicle?
