To me it just sounds so very American. Using so many praising adjectives they stop meaning anything anymore. If everything is fabulous and great and you’re always excited or proud, that becomes the baseline.
Curious how this trait is American? Is there something about the way Americans speak that is fake?
At least to my British ears, Americans rarely sound authentic.
Its always grandiose statements and elaborate smiles.

Americans generally say what they mean a bit more, so I think their mid point is just different.

It’s the DMA regulation that forces Apple to give the same access as they have to other AI chat apps. Once it leaves the device Apple does not know what those other ai chat apps will do with the gathered data. > Siri AI is private by design and deeply integrated across Apple’s platforms using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud. However, unde…
If you view it like that, any argument against openness could be made in the name of privacy. With that interpretation, the Mac is terrible for privacy as you could just chose to install an app that reads your hard drive. "We can't bring Time Machine to Europe, because we would have to allow other backup solutions, and that would mean other backups would have unrestricted access to your data" Maybe there's more to it…
Bye Tim, thanks for making tech fun the past 10 years. No new hardware, feels like the party is over. Thanks Altman for the greed.
I'm glad to see their "Private Cloud AI" thing is actually happening. They announced it a couple years ago and then after not hearing a ton I was worried they were going to drop it. That said, the foundational models they talk about running on it - is that something they've trained themselves? I know they had some sort of deal with Google; could it be Gemini weights loaded into their private compute or something?

Liquid Glass is fine for me since I put it in grayscale. I actually like it. I’m just talking about iOS though. Haven’t updated to Liquid (Gl)ass on macOS yet.
People talk about Liquid Glass as if it equal on all fronts. It's absolutely not. Apple knows which way their bread is buttered, that they can't mess up the iPhone. So Liquid Glass is fine on iOS. It's on Mac that it's a garbage fire of ridiculous design decisions. Still the best OS around, but it looks like it was made by idiots.
But Liquid Glass on iOS has been one of my favorite updates. I like the look and feel of it. They made some tangentially related changes that go too far.
While I give kudos for Apple bring these Intelligent features, but does anyone see themselves using these features in your daily life?

1. e.g. lots of smiling, use of superlatives like "great"/"amazing" to describe mediocre items/effort/results
