Apple Intelligence: The Emperor's New Clothes

I know I’m late to this party, but I’ve been reading John Gruber’s piece “Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino”, and finally found time to share my thoughts.(...)

"I wonder what happened to turn John’s [#Gruber] attitude…
The #EU… does not allow big companies to “own” markets because #freemarkets (in the EU’s eyes) are good, and privately owned ones that allow big companies to stop being capitalists and act like #feudal lords are bad. Facebook, Apple, and the rest have been doing this in digital for a long time, and the EU has decided it’s going to stop."

It's great to have #WeDistribute back. And, judging by their headlines, I see they're back in full force.

Watching a #reneritchie video where #gruber is claiming that a ton/most apple devs — “the good ones” — are using ChatGPT for development and think it’s a huge, amazing win.

This seems…off,..to me. I try to pay attention to a lot about a lot for #iOS #macOS #Xcode #dev related stuff and nearly everything I see ranges from “meh” to “uhh, no”.

Wondering if anyone has any other experience.
