Yeah, I agree with this take, though I did see an article that quoted Tim as saying they wouldn’t be able to totally get rid of hallucinations, so I’m still a little reserved on it all.
The biggest thing in the last couple of weeks is Microsoft showing off the half baked Recall “feature” that let your computer take photos of basically everything you do. The idea that you could search for something you did in the past using normal language is interesting, but the implementation was terrible. So that’s a big strike against MS, so much so they now are recalling the beta release of that. MS doesn’t have a good track record with things that are supposed to be local that somehow end up not local; I believe there was a big issue on xbox where local screenshots were still being monitored by the cloud somewhere. MS also loves shoving ads down your throat and turning back on features you have explicitly turned off. There’s no trust.
Apple certainly has their own issues, but as others have said, they have at least outwardly been a privacy first company, at least in marketing materials. They were one of the first to build in “secure enclaves” into phones and PCs so biometrics couldn’t get off of your device, for example. There’s a bit of a history, earned or otherwise, that Apple isn’t doing bad things with your data, so when they say their AI junk is private it’s easier to swallow.
That said, I still have yet to find a use for any of this AI junk across all platforms. I wish it all just stayed in the realm of intelligently making your photos a little sharper or whatever and not hallucinating things out of whole cloth. I’m actually happy my iPhone isn’t new enough to take advantage of this new stuff.
I like the games but hate Amazon so I’ll skip it.
But hopefully the show itself is good.
Sure but not built in where you can then do an OS search like “find me text from the call I was just on where it showed their password for a moment.”
Something I didn’t think about until I saw someone making a post about it on Mastodon is that you may not have to worry about just YOUR PC, but what happens when you are on a zoom call or using another screen sharing app and THEIR PC is taking screen shots?
Now you just can’t worry about your own machine, but every machine out there that might interact with you in that type of way could be capturing data. And if you accidentally have your email up or maybe a password manager, could their PC just be gobbling that up without you knowing?
Someone, for the love of god, just announce when Silksong will come out, already.
I assume this article is about how I want to pull my hair out when trying to do anything in that program because everything feels so obtuse and weird and nothing else.
I was telling a bunch of friends to not be surprised when Animal Well ended up on a bunch of GOTY lists.
And they were like, “Nahh” until they played it when they were like, “Ahhhh.”
From top to bottom it’s one of the most interesting and well put together games I’ve played in so long.
Oh, lame.
I like The Division 2 a lot and have spent almost zero time in the PVP zones in my couple hundred hours.
I hope the pivot is just over to The Division 3.
Crypto: “We don’t have or want government oversight.”
Also crypto: “Please, government, help us get back our made up money!”
That’s true, but at least then you didn’t have to listen to Chadley before each one, ha.
These new games actually make me like the OG FF7 more, if that’s possible. Or, at the very least, make me like the world and characters more since they aren’t just cuboid freaks. 7 was never my favorite of the bunch even though it’s the most popular, but I sure as heck spent 100 hours in Rebirth doing most of the side content.
It’s a very good game hindered only by the fact they there’s not a minigame Square said “No” to.

Other people have answered, but if you’d like to know more it’s a JavaScript thing:

For me it’s: remember the last user on this device!
If I open Hulu and I have ONE account, why are you making me select the ONE account? I have to select it every time. They should know.
if(accounts.length === 1) {
setAccount(accounts[0]);
}
There. I fixed it. Give me a job.
Yikes
I believe it’s a play on him saying that those staying at twitter needed to be “extremely hardcore” to make all of the stupid changes he’s made over the last year and a half.

They were probably like, “Finally, I can go to a company that doesn’t force me to use a Dell.”
