Imagine if it was just the OpenAI app.

The masses want AI, even if they don’t know why. And OpenAI is a big name, even if they make Google look privacy-conscious. The smartest thing for Apple to do is to funnel as many inevitable OpenAI users on their platforms through their own sanitized version of the service.

Now that OpenAI’s technology is integrated all the way across Apple’s flagship software and flagship devices, I guarantee you people will blame Apple if OpenAI fumbles privacy even if just on their end.

I’ve been hearing mixed reactions to Apple choosing OpenAI, because of recent drama and because of Sam Altman specifically. To me, it feels like a “keep your enemies closer” decision on Apple’s part because while the company sucks, they do have a competitive (potentially superior) service at the moment.

And Apple has jack without some kind of partnership.

Why do you think only one of those can be true?

This is why Apple partnered with them. To keep an eye on them.

It is by no means an exhaustive list. Those are just the ones that sprang to mind.

I wonder if anyone has posted a supercut of this trope on YouTube…

Thanks, Stargate & Stranger Things!

Playing with my kid actually recharges me.

Heh. “Digs up.”

Would rather watch this than what’s currently airing.

Bot: “I’d like to thank Reuters, and The Associated Press, and that’s my time!”

I use this very phrase as a response to poor customer service/poor behavior in general on a far too regular basis.

If he fulfills enough prescriptions, he gets a scepter.

Princess Diana’s driver’s heart: “Floor it, coward.”

Upvote because the thought of rolling fields of bananas made me happy.

Anyone is capable of being violent with enough provocation in the heat of the moment. It’s the people who are willing to be violent while calm and having had time to think about it that are truly dangerous.

What do you mean “of course”? If I had to guess the game in question, I would have said CounterStrike or Call of Duty.

“Nature abhors a vacuum, and anything that is not a crab.”

When my landlord shows up to collect his tip.

Medical professionals and guidebooks from the present day, not from 74 years ago. At the very least, stay away from my kid.

What started as a throwaway comment had to become a legitimate PSA.

Doing that is causing more harm than good. The logic that lead to recommending such action is derived from the institutionalized and abusive corporal discipline of the time. ‘I beat my kid all the time, this can’t possibly be bad for them. They can take it.’

It’s like a cartoon where someone is being held upside-down by their ankles and shaken. Also, commentary of the time.

If you honestly believe in 2024 what is pictured is helping, do not help.
