peterspath··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
Good hopefully Grok Build gets better and they start to innovate in this area.

Claude Code and ChatGPT need some competition. So that they also innovate more.

peterspath··on Claude Corps
No it’s a myth
peterspath··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
It’s in the names. Myths and fables. :P
peterspath··on Apple reveals new AI architecture built around Google Gemini models
It’s the DMA regulation that forces Apple to give the same access as they have to other AI chat apps.

Once it leaves the device Apple does not know what those other ai chat apps will do with the gathered data.

> Siri AI is private by design and deeply integrated across Apple’s platforms using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud. However, 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.

peterspath··on Apple WWDC 2026
As an EU citizen I am not giving the EU the benefit of the doubt... and against forced openness, nothing good will come from it.
peterspath··on Apple WWDC 2026
This. They come up with so many laws under so many pretences that want to take away the freedom of private communications
peterspath··on Apple WWDC 2026
Yipeee for stupid eu rules
peterspath··on Apple WWDC 2026
Yeah macOS is luckily not big enough to be counted as a gatekeeper I believe.

peterspath··on Profitable AI UGC Ads for Meta and TikTok
vibe coded website, at least half the buttons do not work... for example pricing in the footer menu.
peterspath··on Replies to comments on my "LLMs are eroding my career" post
The next big revolution probably involves burning down datacenters.
peterspath··on Ripping a DVD, a federal crime in 1999, requires $22 and free software in 2026
What drive would that be? Asking for a friend…
peterspath··on Google will pay SpaceX $920M per month for compute
Not really strange... if the goal is to go to mars, you probably need robots, those need intelligence -> ai. It fits pretty well, especially because you want to own all the core technologies as a company.
peterspath··on macOS 27 Wishlist: What Do You Want from Apple at WWDC 2026?
I for one want a Snow Leopard release... just a lot of stability fixes. No new features.
peterspath··on AI job grief: A psychological crisis hitting tech workers
probably first
peterspath··on SQLite is all you need for durable workflows
That’s why there are billions of SQLite databases right?

SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined. Billions and billions of copies of SQLite exist in the wild. SQLite is found in:

Every Android device Every iPhone and iOS device Every Mac Every Windows 10/11 installation Every Firefox, Chrome, and Safari web browser Every instance of Skype Every instance of iTunes Every Dropbox client Every TurboTax and QuickBooks PHP and Python Most television sets and set-top cable boxes Most automotive multimedia systems Countless millions of other applications

peterspath··on What Apple and Google are doing to push notifications
Same: Phone, Messages, Calendar, Apple Health... nothing else can send me notifications.

On my work I also disabled all notifications except for the calendar. Even slack message our main tool for communication is not allowed to send notifications. It is almost a productivity hack :P

peterspath··on Incident with Actions and Pages
I moved a while back to Forgejo -> https://forgejo.org couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.
peterspath··on [dead]
Now in early beta for all SuperGrok and X Premium Plus subscribers — Grok Build is a new coding agent that runs right from your terminal.
peterspath··on OpenAI Is Preparing to File for an IPO Soon
Probably a good stock to short on!
peterspath··on Skills in Web, iOS, and Android
Good that they are catching up. Also their announcement of Grok Build is a good catch up.

More competition in the "AI" field is better :)

peterspath··on I moved my digital stack to Europe
you do not really own a domain
peterspath··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
Good time to try Orion! https://orionbrowser.com
peterspath··on New US phone network for Christians to block porn and gender-related content
Isn't that the whole point of religions... they offer something timeless, transcendent, or divinely revealed that stands above whatever the current culture happens to celebrate or condemn this decade.

The current, past, and future values and norms that are decided by societies are fleeting, old tomorrow, always changing.

peterspath··on Grok 4.3
I can ask Grok to be a security advisor, a hacker, a red team, and a pentester and review my code to see where the security flaws are. It does it. It comes with good finds and suggestions how to fix them. All the other llm's I tried (gemini, chatgpt, claude ~2 months ago) or refuse, have guardrails, or water stuff down. It is a shame...

So Grok is my code reviewer :)

peterspath··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
I think this is great and helps x.ai building Grok Code and Grok Computer.

It is good to have more competition in this area.

So there aren’t just 2 big players which also have their ideological flaws.

peterspath··on Daily Claude outage is upon us. Waiting for Claude Status to update
luckily Grok is up :P
peterspath··on A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”
I would also go back in a heartbeat
peterspath··on Google removes "Doki Doki Literature Club" from Google Play
15 for most
peterspath··on New iPhone age and identity checks restrict internet freedom in the UK
This will probably be sneaked in, in more countries under the banner of age verification since more countries are proposing laws than ban children younger than 16 from social media.

I am all for the ban of social media. But I am afraid that it will give us more government meddling and interfering on our devices. And that Apple and google are “forced” to do it. They of course have their own gains.
