How would one even measure this quantitatively?

Empty words from a man who doesn’t even seem to understand his own product.

Cool.

Not supporting your company anymore though.

Do we know for a fact that the models being used for US requests are the same as those used for foreign requests? If so, how do we know this?

Isn’t this simply a byproduct of the training data?

For conversations in US English or more generally sourced from USians that end up in training data, there will be supporters and deniers, as with any issue. Conversations about it outside of the US are likely to have far less conspiratorial support.

The model isn’t doing any critical thinking here… what mechanism would even support that under the hood? Feels like another thing that is only weird if you assume AI actually works like a human.

Tbh, I figured Apple taking their time on these was because they were trying to improve the engineering over the Android folding screen offerings.

Now I wonder if they just wait because everyone assumes Apple would try and make it better, and then they just sell a bunch + the Apple tax, even though it’s just as bad of a product. Like, the marketing team just saying: “wait a couple years”.

Not tone deaf, and not competitive. Saying you hear the demand for something does not mean you can do that thing.

Yay marketing! Look this is different because of a gimmick that you could easily have in any car!

These “small government conservatives” have been spineless for so long, it’s hard to remember anyone ever made the claim!

Emperor: “Do it.”

Boy these folks really think there’s no upper limit

Seems like Apple didn’t get the memo as public opinion has turned on having cameras absolutely everywhere. I get that it’s for “visual intelligence”, but that’s just some marketing to try and convince people this doesn’t make you look as pervy as wearing the Meta Raybans.

Only the 1337 know that they’re really called “stores”. That’s why the command ls exists: list stores.

Obviously I’m kidding. It’s short for list, somehow. Just remove that unnecessary IT.

Don’t worry, everyone, this will be good old fashioned Euro fascism, none of this new shit

In a world where every product sucks due to years of cost cutting and shrinkflation, brands mean very little.

If I’m reading this correctly, then an orgy isn’t an orgy if there is at least one person not fucking. This means that a single camera person not getting any turns what could be an orgy into just a set of sets of people fucking.

The socialist shithole strikes again! Capitalists love loud ads.

Lol corporate thieves bitching about other corporate thieves is the funniest part of 2026

I mostly believe this, but I also believe it isn’t a negative for Valve.

The hate towards Valve right now is so fucking weird. Is it perfect? No. Are they actively contributing to projects which can break the M$ coalition? Yes.

Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress, and accept the wins. When Valve actually becomes anticompetitive (big when), then speak up. Otherwise you have bigger fish to fry.

Here’s one: Microsoft itself. So tired of hearing shit about Valve from people still booting Windows every day.

my employer has been urging us to do as much as possible by hand

Now that is a palpable irony. So much disruption in this space so some investors could profit off of a tech they don’t even understand.

These people only care now because it’s actually affecting the bottom line.

Did they care when AAA pricing was lifted to $70 (base) as AAA quality took a nosedive? Did they care when “preordering” turned into “premium”? Did they care when microtransactions made some games into spend-to-win machines?

Hell, most of these clowns don’t even play games. Just more rich people putting on the hat they think they need to get away with a “hello, fellow gamers.”

Maybe the industry has a C-suite crisis.
