I wonder if the emergence of AI technology can be compared to the emergence of fire technology:

"HOLY SHIT I JUST BANG THESE STONES TOGETHER AND I'M WARM."

"HEY DIPSHIT YOU'RE GONNA BURN THE WHOLE FOREST DOWN."

Pros and cons.

Congrats, @caseyliss! #WWDC26

My take on AI is, essentially, everybody who’s against it is too against it and everybody who’s for it is too for it.

Robert Mueller demonstrated admirable American values.

I just hugged my 17-yo son goodnight. It was a good hug. We always tell each other "I love you." I hugged him at drop-offs in elementary school and other parents lamented "I wish my kids hugged me." I know every kid is different, but our kids hug us because we always hugged them. That's the secret.

ICE would kill any one of us without remorse. Any. One. Of. Us.

I wonder how many Trump supporters will be infuriated by the fact that "liberal judges" are forcing the government to keep paying their SNAP benefits? Liberal-haters ... they hate us until they need us. And the point is? We all need "us".

@photomatt I am touched.

I just scheduled an appointment for FOUR VACCINES in one visit. A new personal record. I'm getting Flu, Pneumonia, Shingles, and yes, Covid-19, because I believe in science, and because I live in a state whose governor believes in science.

You can just tell something is wrong at Apple, by the way they refuse to join @gruber for his usual The Talk Show event. I know others have pointed this out, but let's just say, I also think it's obvious. Big whoops, Apple.

The worst thing about Apple refusing to be part of @gruber's annual show is that it implies all of their previous candor is suspect.

Privacy antagonists often argue: "if you haven't done anything wrong, you shouldn't have anything to hide." We're living through a textbook example that exposes the lie of this logic. Simply supporting Palestine, a suppressed nation that has been unduly punished for decades, is considered "wrong."

Chuck Schumer: delete your account.

In a world increasingly reliant on browser-based web apps, legendary web publisher Om Malik relies on MarsEdit for Mac. One of only 12 apps he installed on his new MacBook Air: [om.co/2025/03/1...](https://om.co/2025/03/11/the-new-m4-macbook-air/)

Golf clap for whoever at Apple designed the "pc" SF Symbol with a "blue screen of death" on it.

Just posted FastScripts 3.3.5 with a bunch of fixes including restoring live script progress updates in the menu. https://redsweater.com/blog/4178/fastscripts-3-3-5-live-script-progress-and-other-fixes

Everybody get your popcorn while AI companies complain that DeepSeek stole THEIR data 😂

On the occasion of Apple's slithering CEO Tim Cook donating $1M to a neo-fascist insurrectionist, it's FINALLY time to deploy the often overused expression "this never would have happened if Steve Jobs were still in charge."

I would resign as CEO of any company before meeting with Trump. People love to say "They HAVE to do that because BLAH BLAH BLAH" but you don't have to negotiate with fascists. Especially when doing so is only in the pursuit of profit. Real leaders should take a stand.

If things go as badly as I fear, and even if they don't, the CEOs who met with Trump, acted like everything was "business as usual" are going to face a harsh judgment from history. Your legacy is worth far more than your return for investors.
