The future of independence is interdependence

Every one of us depends on others; the only difference is how visible that dependence is.

In other news I am going to the Texas Tribune Festival later today to see the Pod Save America folks, Maggie Haberman, a bunch of panels on AI regulation, future technology, APple history, THC, and space. TIckets even include free trivia. Who could say no?

It's interesting to think about where we all draw our own personal line on AI and surveillance. For example, I personally use OpenAI and Anthropic products, but the idea of using Grok and Muse makes me inwardly wince a little. Maybe because the harms propagated by those companies are much more […]

It's lawsuit-worthy that Apple thinks it's okay to consume anywhere from 20 to 30 GB of storage for Apple Intelligence while offering no way to turn it off.
