All in all, I'm seriously impressed by @Apple's #WWDC26 keynote. Powerful AI tools (I'm playing with the dev beta, and it's not all just hype) that are focused and easy to use, and open to developers.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

Simply: AI needs to be less apologetic and confident. It knows a lot, but it's incredibly stupid. Stop with (what I perceive as) an effort to in stupid people, when some of the greatest advancements in human history have come from people previously-perceived as stupid.

Is it evil for me to look down on any human less wirh-it than @ChatGPTapp? If they can't half-assedly explain their position like ChatGPT can, what are they and what are we as a society? Come on. l /@claudeai /@Gemini /@xai /@elonmusk

Apple took a little longer, but boy did they deliver with something well and above what the big boys can deliver (@OpenAI's ChatGPT can't even get through a game of 20 questions on the free tier nowadays without hitting a rate limit.)

.@Apple claimed in the #WWDC26 keynote that they improved Liquid Glass's contrast against backgrounds.

Yup.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

Why do apple keynotes have weird long pauses between sentences? It makes the presenters sound unsure, stupid. #WWDC26

Thank you @Spotiffy, for delivering a profuvt thay caudes pain @ loss beyond using indudtry-standard tool. It was so eadu for you to win — implement versioning — and yet you decised ro save a bick and fuck consumers. So Fuxk You yoo, I guess.

.@Spotify's semi-amazing semi-shitty DJ mix UI (which half the time will match the beat your dragging to the one you're dragging to;, and the other half the time refuses after repeated attempts) will not be defeated by me.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

Okay, nevermind. Rearrange 1 song unrepated to you xurrebt custom transitions, abs all previous transitiona disappear? No Undo, no Reset, no Cancel' @Spotifu mix is pre-90s-level of software dev per-alpha incompetence.

Jeremy Clarkson is so brilliant in that he can be so confident and right half the time, and so self-deprecating and wrong the other half the time (and confident and wrong another half, and self-deprecating and right another half).

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

I have no idea why critics were so critical of sequel Be Cool (2005) yet praised Get Shorty (1995). Yes, it doesn't up the stakes, yes Travolta's grown a touch less intense. But relate it to a modern TV show; imagine each movie is a season, and it's as complex and satisfying.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

(And now I'm going to watch Clarkson's Farm. Talk about a genre jump.)

… an “only in Hollywood/LA moment”.

Perhaps reviews changed because of changing culture, or perhaps because the movie troped its predecessor too much… or perhaps because it felt too real, and Hollywood people don't like hard reflections.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

Also, I read critcism of less comedy in Be Cool. The guy-on-fire that makes it into the real music video at the end is great. I call it less-gag, more long-setup comedy. In place or the shaky-campy movie production at the end of Get Shorty, something that actually feels like…

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

Biggest mistake: Not making a 3rd chapter/“season” in 2015, and a 4th in 2025.

John Wick got it right— just keep making them, a bit different each time, but just more of what we want. Unpredictable in the exact plot beats, but generally the same arc and flow.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

It's another chapter that follows the same story, but it's honestly as good as the OG. Who cares if The Matrix and a whole bunch of other stuff happened in between. Watch Get Shorty, like it? Want more? Get Cool.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

@PrimeVideo Think about it. You're losing millions in lost subscriptions every day because people want to play-video and play-video just doesn't work a portion of the time. I'm cheap, and I can fix that issue.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

.@PrimeVideo #WTFUX. Stop using #AI and get your fucking app to work correctly. Fucking overpaid morons over there. play button = play video, basic functionality.

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

Here's a trade, @PrimeVideo. Hire me as a consultant and I'll work at 75% the cost of 75% of AI to root out every deadbeat lunch all-day worthless AI-does-my-job prick in your company. And I'll be covert and polite about it too— I'll pretend I'm a junior programmer…

[Cap'n Slipp @CapnSlipp]

nevermind my expertise in decades of C++, C#, JS Obj-C, Swift. I'll find out who's a fraud and who actually works more than $10/hour.

Why has Ethan Phillips never played steve wozniak?
