The AI Doomers who say that AI is going to make a robot army that self replicates have obviously never built anything in the physical world.

I have an iPhone Air and it’s my favorite iPhone ever.
Here’s my iPhone 18 Pro Max review: Do not buy an iPhone Air unless you want to immediately return every other phone forever.

What if we just shut down AI for two weeks to flatten the curve?

I for one don’t mind the @Superhuman update. The new app icon is awful. Not sure how that made the cut. I think what we’re experiencing is a mandate for growth from the acquiring company Grammarly which means more mass market UI/UX. Superhuman was positioned as a power user tool. Maybe that’s shifting as they become less focused on their core base. Common conundrum in biz. Alienate purist early adopter base for profitable mass market appeal…

My feed is back to the same old slop. No longer seeing as much content from mutuals. Dumb.

We bought house from a guy that flipped it. He had irrigation installed. They did a very bad job. Now we have a ton of dead grass and to fix it we will presumably have to add more sprinkler heads? Or maybe just ones that cover farther? What’s the move?

Running AI / agents / Scheduled tasks locally is a pain. I have multiple computers. Laptop which isn’t always on, desktop that is used for personal and work. I want Apple to create a cloud computer under my Apple ID and allow me to access it effortlessly on either computer or iPhone. I get this is what grok bot sorta does. Can this be a thing?

Here’s an idea: Connect sensitive personal emails, calendar, payments, etc to a startup in stealth mode who’s founders can’t even be easily identified and who’s terms of service and privacy policies are terrible.

I think I am going to hold off on Instinct, for now. Product seems incredible, but when it comes to data/security, I want to be a bit more cautious, at the expense of convenience. From my chat with Instinct:
Anyone know who is behind Instinct? Are folks not concerned about privacy, security?

Read the TOS and privacy policy. I haven’t connected Instinct to any of my info. Heres the Claude summary It’s an always-on autonomous AI assistant that reads your screen. None of what follows is hidden — they disclosed it clearly. That’s what makes it worth reading. WHAT IT CAPTURES Screen contents, keystrokes, cursor movements, documents. The content of emails and messages you VIEW, not just what you send it. Audio and voice if enabled, with no biometric notice despite Illinois BIPA and Texas CUBI. Precise location if shared. Payment cards and third-party passwords, so it can log in as you. WHERE IT GOES Trains their models under a perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license. Only Google Workspace data is carved out. Personalized advertising is a stated use. Third-party AI providers receive it. Business partners may use it “for their own purposes.” Humans read flagged material. It transfers in an acquisition. Deidentified data can be kept forever for any purpose — and screen captures resist real anonymization. OTHER PEOPLE’S PRIVACY Anyone who emails or messages you gets ingested. They never consented. Minors included, with no consent path. And you must warrant you obtained “all rights, consents, permissions” for everything captured — impossible for passive screen data. The legal exposure lands on you. RISK ALLOCATION Total liability capped at $100. You indemnify them. Meanwhile the policy itself warns of unintended payments, unintended communications, and the agent being hijacked by hidden instructions planted by third parties. GAPS No privacy rights section — no retention limits, no general deletion right, no CCPA or state rights. No breach notification commitment. No encryption or SOC 2 claims. No Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. Terms change by continued use, so collection scope can expand quietly. TWO FOOTGUNS Arbitration and class action waiver, with only 30 days from signup to opt out. And replying STOP to their texts also disables your sign-in codes. An always-on screen recorder creates a searchable record of your life that didn’t exist before. It can be subpoenaed, breached, or sold in an acquisition. The risk isn’t that it’s buried. It’s that it’s enormous. instinct.co/privacy-policy instinct.co/terms
Hey Instinct, it's not cool to index and retain my emails without my permission and not let me delete them from your records? I can't recommend this to anyone until this is figured out. Thanks @clairevo for spotting this.

Call centers / customer service are supposedly going to be disrupted by AI. I have no intuition on how feasible it is to eliminate humans in the loop on that- especially for higher level support and edge cases. A good first step would be to take a non english speaker (or any language) and use AI to perfect their speaking abilities real time either through outright translation or just polishing. Keep the human in the loop but enhance. Im sure someone is working on this..

This was my favorite laptop ever in terms of form factor.
The 12” MacBook is still the best looking laptop in history. It just came at the wrong time: before Apple Silicon. Imagine that design with an M-series chip. Game over.

Yes, and sometimes you just need to get started. Business is hard and there’s no way around it. Trying to find a unicorn you can fly into the sunset is a great idea. Sometimes better to just find the nearest horse that can get you moving and get riding.
There are many flavors of “hard mode” in business and 95% of the time when you find one the right move is to just run the other direction and never look back. Do not become a world expert in an industry where everyone loses money.

How do I setup AI to have its own email and take actions when I send it an email, forward an email, etc? I asked Claude and it didn’t give a satisfactory answer.
