SUCCESS!!!!

No matter how many launches I watch, there's still that same thrill when ignition is go and the rocket climbs into the sky.

So far, so good!!!

"When a 23-year-old Sam Altman took the stage at Apple Inc.’s annual developer conference in 2008, he gushed about being able to use the company’s new App Store to promote his software, a friend-locating service called Loopt."

That's OpenAI's Sam Altman. He spoke at WWDC in 2008? That's incredible.

And now he's back. 2008 was the year of the App Store (and some brutal NDAs).

@bynkii @davemark I have a hard time not thinking of him being laughed at for the popped collars as his villain origin story. But I guess he was evil before that. 🤷‍♂️

"Netflix to End Support for 2nd and 3rd Generation Apple TV"

[UPDATE: turns out we’re talking about super old hardware, pre-tvOS, so this is to be expected?]

@davemark well, to be honest we’re talking about 12/14 years old Apple TVs which don’t even use tvOS and don’t have the App Store, and Netflix was a pre installed app.

@santiago @davemark Also realizing this sounds a bit like a far fetched claim, so in my defense I did write this a year ago 😂

"Security Researcher Calls Windows 11 AI 'Recall' Screenshotting Feature a Disaster"

Take constant screen grabs of my screen and feed it into an AI? What could go wrong?

"With Recall, hackers are able to scrape "everything you've ever looked at within seconds," and users should prepare for "AI powered super breaches.""

Who could have predicted this idea would go south? Have to say, zero chance I'm bringing this tech into my setup.

Apple drops trailer for new animated SciFi series "WondLa".

On my short list. This looks like it might be great. Kid friendly, too. Here's hoping!

From the Snapdragon Keynote, right at the end, this little smack at Apple, using the original "I'm a Mac" guy, Justin Long.

"Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it"

This is a pretty riveting read. Especially the vivid death threats at the end.

  1. Claudia Sheinbaum projected to be Mexico's first woman president (and she won by a mile)

  2. Outgoing Mexican president congratulates Sheinbaum

Her two rivals also called to congratulate her.

Go to:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/

Ask a question like:

"what is the best laptop for under $1000"

  1. Solid response, lots of info, well laid out.

  2. There's an "Ask follow-up" field so you can continue the conversation.

THIS is what I would LOVE to see #Apple roll out at #WWDC, a version of Siri with context. Let me clarify, expand my queries, dig for more info.

8 days until the WWDC keynote.

@HootenHaller@mastodon.social avatar

@davemark Q: Which electric cars sold in the US cost less than $30,000?
A: Three models listed.
Followup: Which of those work with NACS?
A: Many brands listed with plans to support NACS. So it didn’t correctly follow up. Still, it was a succinct list. Both times it gave its sources.

New Dalrymple Report is live!😎

So I'm going to have eye surgery in a week or so. I get into this a bit, then Jim and I move on to less terrifying, more normal biz.

Dig in, and thanks for listening. 🙏🏻❤️

The big 6:
Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia

Now account for 30% of the S&P 500 index. Up from 26% a year ago.

I call them MANAMA. As in:

@davemark Hey look - they're training us to use the word "responsibly" without any evidence that it's true.
