New comment by antipaul in "Apple WWDC 2026"

Umm, that's neither a direct quote, nor even a paraphrase.

This is due to EU's wider tech regulation "DMA"

And, in fact, it's due to DMA's mandate leaning _against_ privacy:

> under EU regulators’ extreme interpretation of the DMA, Apple would have to give any virtual assistant direct access to users’ private data — and the ability to directly control other installed applications — as soon as Siri AI is made available in the EU, without the essential protections necessary to keep users and their data safe.

Dunno. I love these events. Polished, well executed, fun. I always walk away inspired.

But then, I'm a fan of Apple, overall, and I like most of what they do.

"The big three are trying to capture B2C mainly"

I think it's more complicated. Anthropic has been focused on enterprise for a long time, and OpenAI seems to be doubling down as well.

I can clearly see, and feel, Dario's associates' "increased productivity" in their Claude Code/Chat/Cowork desktop product...

So many updates, pretty much daily, so many tweaks to the interface. Sometimes the tweaks are a bit dumb, sometimes completely trivial, and other times they just undo what they did previously.

My favorite examples of their newfound velocity:

1. When there is a nice feature that was easily discovered, and then it was gone...

2. When the "customize" section moves around to random places in settings, or entirely out of it

Special mention to their scatterbrained keyboard shortcuts strategy

"All of [SpaceX]'s compute capacity at Colossus 1"

SpaceX/xAI also has Colossus 2, with double or more the GPUs

Seems xAI will still be around

Focused on "simplicity", they used to have only a "tableful" of products.

With more products, will Apple collapse under the weight of the complexity?

Performance wise, they often seem solid.

Usability wise (UI/UX/design), they are in the gutter.

A Snow Leopard move, at least for iOS, is what's on deck:

Seems like the most basic thing ever.

Can’t even use the new Gemma on device model… no model selection besides fast/normal/thinking.

Nice list.

What about for on-device RAG use cases?

How are you using local LLMs for code? (esp. security/IP protection)

I wouldn't be surprised if this was done by one of those AI companies themselves!

Biotech industrial complex

fMRI is a cool, expensive tech, like so many others in genetics and other diagnostics. These technologies create good jobs ("doing well by doing good").

But as other comments point out, and practitioners know, their usefulness for patients is more dubious.
