Just amazing. Every link blog that links to tweets now just link to a dumb interstitial (unless you happen to be logged in to Twitter on that particular browser — which, if you’re using, say, an RSS reader, you’re not. Or coming from elsewhere, you’re not).

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Slack embeds: broken. iMessage embeds: broken. Tweets now insanely less viral and thus, valued.

So fucking stupid.

New iPad looks great -- but also a bit ridiculous. Bending over backwards to make a touch laptop without making a touch Mac. (Inner Ring ⭕️) https://spyglass.org/the-ipad-macbook-pro/

Technology aside, OpenAI remains so good at productizing this all in a way that gets people excited and wanting to use it. They knew the assignment. The assignment was to create a real-life version of Samantha from 'Her'. And they did it.

Demolition and destruction with a hint of desolation and a dash of despair down to an iPad. Nice work, Apple. https://spyglass.org/crush-with-i-liner/

I'm sorry, Instagram, you're not allowed to hijack this user interaction in this way. It's one thing to delay a tap, it's another to halt a scroll. It's a UX bridge too far. https://spyglass.org/cut-the-bullshit-instagram/

With AI, I'm sure Apple doesn't want a lot of "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." Or any. https://spyglass.org/apple-acdc-ai/

Apple messed up with the timing of the Vision Pro launch. They should have let it bake for another year. Consumers, developers, and even Apple would have benefitted. https://spyglass.org/vision-pro-launch-disaster/

Currently playing Nintendo games on my iPhone. Via emulators. It’s amazing. And quite easy. So amazing and easy that I fully expect it to be snuffed out in about 48 hours. 🍄
