Hm. I don’t think CarPlay “apps” can do payments, so I’m not sure whether HomeView can, either.

Why not vibecode a Go -> WASM cross-compiler, then?
For chatbot-style usage maybe, can’t really attest to that; for long-running, long-context “agentic” work including planning, within a harness etc., definitely not (yet).
> What I would see even more likely are requirements of no agent commits, use of only human written/vetted code under their name.
I mean in the end that’s what the Kernel project does now, IIRC? Everything has to have a response human’s sign-off.
Yup. Among other reasons, in this case due to the very much nonfictional consequences you’d expect in a “real world” story like this: Had Graw been convicted and stripped of his titles, basically anyone found guilty using evidence from one of his investigations/autopsies, even decades later, could attempt to appeal their case and very likely, this would have completely flooded the courts.
For this reason, this was a huge case here in Munich, and the prosecutors’ office, from what the public could read in newspapers, was very anxious about the outcome all throughout like 2024 to 2026, IIRC.
The tinfoil hat explanation for this is that everyone at Apple is using iCloud for everything, and thus would never encounter a bug with locally-hosted services.
But I should’ve clarified, I meant the scraping aspect of it, since more and more content on the open web will be LLM output.
And with ever-more LLM usage both in labs and the real world, the task of finding new/“creative” out-of-average-distribution material will only continue to increase in difficulty. Meaning if this continues, in the future, all output becomes the equivalent of the color brown?
Exactly. From the page about the requirements for the app under 1) in your link:
> System requirements
> Android 12 or iOS 16
So one of four methods is, by default, already completely dependent on having an account with $american_megacorp.
4) is another app where it doesn’t outright say, but I’m guessing the requirements are also a mainstream OS, mobile at that as well since they seem to use biometrics.
That leaves 2) dedicated hardware and 3) dedicated hardware. Great. (see the “my house burned down” article/thought experiment as to why I’m against that.)
I mean, who cares about the developing minds of the next generation when there’s money to be made involved?
Remember, this is only the company responsible for potentially building and aligning AGI. No need to be setting high expectations toward their sandboxing or hiring capabilities.
That, plus the crowd who would want or like to hack on a device like this, or at least use a non-Apple app or service, is probably far outnumbered by people who don’t care what (and whose) software can run on their screen in the home as long as it looks nice and works well, which is typically the case for Apple.

“j looks like a down arrow” is easy to remember as a sort of anchor key :-)
It might also become a race to the bottom, since you can’t deliver on quality better than others anymore, you’ll have to put effort towards quantity. That could mean firms might pressure lawyers to sign as much as possible in a given time, while they’re still personally at risk/responsible for the documents they put out. That means either very hectic reading, and missing details, or no reading at all.
*And like socializer said, the written documents are only one part of the job.
On the other hand, I’ve heard a direct quote from the longtime (25+ YoE) colleague of someone I know, that in their mostly embedded/some realtime work, the LLM code quality (specifically, this was about Opus 5.5 IIRC) has now surpassed his own. And that person is an excellent programmer, and the model is faster and cheaper!
So it’s definitely not just standard CRUD that is on the way to – or already – “solved”. As with all things, the truth is probably somewhere in between.
Circa earlier this year I found this blog post, and have – as a paying customer nonetheless, mind you – continued to expect a 180-degree turn (which to be clear, this not yet is) ever since:
It’s a modal editor, so the basic vi/vim motions are of course there almost by necessity, but then it does a drastic shift to actions that were indeed engineered and thought-through intentionally, instead of being made up long ago and then accepted as gospel (love the analogy, by the way).
It’s now my favorite editor by far (not just because of how you use it to shuffle text around, but that is a big part of it), and has solved many of the gripes I had had with trying not to learn the basics, but getting really “at home” with standard vi/vim/neovim controls.
Your example would be <g-h> and <g-l> instead of 0 and $, which I find highly intuitive: Reuse the known left/right motion for a character, and prepend it with a “goto” to signify the whole line.

There’s a reason why so many concepts in the sciences are named after somebody. Usually it’s the discoverer.
I’ve got no idea what this implies about learning for humanity as whole, though.
