As a long time Mac user, one who uses Macs purely for my personal life, and who isn’t finding much use for the new Siri AI features, #macOS 27 really is just macOS 26 with a few visual tweaks and a transparency slider.

Re: AI is not “just a tool”
I push back on the idea that using open models is morally equivalent to how the frontier companies trained them. The genie's out, and opting out entirely means accepting that your supply chain already uses AI anyway.

Twenty+ Years
Twenty-five years ago, Khürt Williams launched his first web presence from a Linux server in his basement, running a small consulting business called Williams Interactive, Inc. on residential broadband. What began as a slow, self-hosted site on williamsinteractive.com became a lasting foundation in web publishing, open-source tools, and self-hosting — a small island in the net still running today.

2025 ground-effect era peak: Verstappen took Monza pole at 1:18.792—the fastest qualifying lap in F1 history. 2026 regs: Russell sitting P1 in Q3 with a 1:21.929. Over 3 seconds off the pace. These 2026 cars are noticeably slower. #F1 #Monza #ItalianGP #MonzaQualifying

In terms of equity, AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice. The challenge is monumental. Even under the best circumstances, the transition to this new AI era will be one of the most turbulent times in human history. How will we use this technology to make the world a fairer place and keep it from widening the divide between rich and poor? How will we protect the people who are most vulnerable to the harms caused by artificial intelligence, including those who lose their livelihoods and the sense that they are in control of their future?

In the West Indies I was the last of my generation to do GCE O and A-level. The islands launched their own CXC CSEC and CAPE system in the early 1980s. I did ok on my maths, physics, chemistry and biology. I was shit at everything else (especially English Literature). Ended up becoming an engineer.
