Apple will forever be on my shit-list if they do not take advantage of the marketing opportunity involving “The Ultimate Computer” episode.

Dear @spotify.com, please find a way to NOT reward AI generated music and bands. It has the potential to flood your system and drown out the human creators.

Your market is humans who make music and fans who enjoy it. If you let AI take over, your marketplace will be destroyed.

I hope IT departments start using the Krennic / Dedra / Death Star scene for training on data breaches. 👇

The act of “signing” for anything is purely performative. I have no idea what I just scribbled on that pad. I honestly don’t even know what you’re comparing it to. I cannot even forge my own signature at this point.

OpenAI would buy Google's Chrome, exec testifies at trial OpenAI would be interested in buying Google's Chrome if antitrust enforcers are successful in forcing the Alphabet unit to sell the popular web browser as part of a bid to restore competition in search, an OpenAI executive testified on Tuesday at Google's antitrust trial in Washington.

OpenAI will just become the next monopoly if they have possession of Chrome. Chrome should NOT go to any random highest bidder. Candidates should be vetted before being allowed to bid.

Something about the song careless whisper. Everyone was saying it should have been your intro music on the pod

Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M Apple users may get $20 each for up to five Siri-enabled devices.

After years of trying to convince people that their phones are not listening to them... turns out the phones were indeed listening to them without their consent. $95M doesn't feel like enough to restore my trust or the trust my friends and family had in me.
