mgh2··on Apple's iPhone overhaul will reduce its reliance on annual fall spectacle

mgh2··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
Such hubris, seeing everything from HIS perspective, without taking into account the users. It is no wonder Microsoft keeps shipping crap - you can convince and push down B2B products to enterprise's throats, when their user's salaries are dependent on bosses who just care about image, with open budgets to fund whatever is sold to them to increase the bottom line. This is less effective on consumers.

Like anything newly launched, this is a test product. Just be happy that Apple is keeping innovation and experimentation alive.
mgh2··on The Bay Area is cursed
You are not alone, as an outsider who moved 20+ in the last 15yrs, the Bay Area seems to attract a high concentration of awkward and arrogant people. Introverts who focus all their time in computers and careers, so other parts of their lives suffer - dare to point this out, their fragile egos will slash you back, blinding themselves in the process.

So objectively speaking, there is some truth to this concern. Women often complain of tech bros: "the odds are good, but the goods are odd" https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/18uxyd7/is_it_me_o...

mgh2··on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly
Are you sure ChatGPT is the solution? It just sounds like another "savior complex" sell spin from tech.

1. Social media -> connection 2. AGI -> erotica 3. Suicide -> prevention

All these for engagement (i.e. addiction). It seems like the tech industry is the root cause itself trying to masquerade the problem by brainwashing the population.
