We all should definitely spend more time talking about the important things in life, like Passwords.

AI is a good technology when used and discussed correctly. It's a better hammer, a tool, and we should treat it as such.
It's amazing that people can do more than ever thanks to help from these database engines. I just push back against the narrative that AI is better than people(not what you said)

The thing people forget about calculators is that you still have to know how to do the math it is performing. Unless I know what those symbols mean and how to get the answer, I can't use it.
AI coding is like that. It can help build a framework, but you still need to have a foundation to build on.

Many will switch to the external linking, sure. But certainly not all. This isn't the end of the world for Apple services revenue like some suggest. Customers like me won't be going to external websites to give out payment data.
And yes, I think Apple has an opportunity for a PR win in all this.

The issue is with how unbalanced it's all become. Netflix can make money without paying a dollar on the App Store, but a two person dev team has to pay Apple 30% of their income.
The old way doesn't work anymore, just like taxes. The rich get loopholes and the smaller guys keep the ship afloat.

Never believe the rumors about a light WWDC. They are always wrong. And even Snow Leopard wasn't a light year.
I expect it'll be pretty packed between the redesign, new apps, and more AI features.

They were still doing the companion podcast "Questie Besties" and they detail some of the behind the scenes for that episode. Just excellent.
