    I wish regulators who failed to ban these things got even half of the backlash. It's not an individual issue.

    And it's been built into every Android phone for years, for free. While Apple is still completely Missing In Action.

    We focus too much on details and not the overall picture. If you're a parent, one factor matters more than any other: the parents' emotional health determines the children's emotio…

    'It's worse for our users, but easier for our developers' is an unacceptable tradeoff, they deserve the backlash.

    You are far too empathetic to them. They should not hold the jobs they have. These are the people writing React monstrosities for government benefit websites, and testing them on f…

    Does not address Apple’s specific allegation, that the EU demanded that competing AIs have direct systemwide access to all apps and data, while Apple wanted to add an intermediatio…

    > What an absurd claim. Apple trails behind Recently there was an Anki vulnerability that gave any website access to any local files. On Windows or Linux this would be deadly. On m…

    I wonder how well Apple has deployed these tools internally for security research. Since mid-April Chrome showed 302 vulnerabilities patched, 225 of them found by Google. Same peri…

    Anything can be turned into emotion-provoking content. That's circular. It's like saying: "viral things go viral, so if you assume no thumb on the scale, then there was no thumb on…

    Yeah, the pain/reward ratio is against vibecoded replacements for mature tools. Piracy is cheaper than tokens. But over the next 5 years I expect a growth in Blender-like open-sour…

    So far, Google has been better than Apple at treating AI as a technology/feature and not just a product. Staying on hold for you. Google Lens on that coat or bag. Warning you in th…

    "Routed to a human" is what the suicide hotline numbers do. OpenAI employees are neither trained nor credible to do that stuff.

    The second half of your comment is a go-to-market concern but doesn't feel so relevant for a research prototype. It could be done with a private local model too, maybe not by Googl…

    That's probably all the hardening the average person needs. BlockBlock because most malware tries to get persistence. Little Snitch or LuLu for fine-grained whitelisting of network…

    These models demonstrably have good vulnerability research capabilities. I'm sure their marketing department is ecstatic but you guys are far more hype-based than what you're calli…

    Sure. macOS, iOS and Windows have local model APIs for third-party devs. Chrome is trialing it. Firefox uses models to generate alt-text, but no API. In theory it's useful. If devs…
