About Apple's last event: iPhone 16, AirPods 4, Apple Watch Series 10, Visual Intelligence, and more. 🧵

Today's Loop Infinito episode (🇪🇸, sorry) is about this: https://t.co/XKbKXrKqCw

Last Monday, Tim Cook marked 14 years as Apple's CEO. He has led the company longer than Steve Jobs. The Apple we know, use, and that defines our daily tech life is Cook's Apple, not Jobs'. 🧵

[Javier Lacort @javierlacort]

14 years later, Cook is still here. He took the impossible baton (succeeding Jobs) and has run much farther than anyone expected in 2011. Without his charisma, but with results. Apple is more Apple than ever, but different from 2007. It's Cook's version, the $3.4 trillion one.

Duolingo but for people whose concentration has been destroyed by years of doomscrolling and enabled notifications.

duolingo but for math

Not all countries are at the same stage of development. The UK and Germany polluted massively during their industrialization. Demanding others not follow that path while we already enjoy its fruits is hypocritical. Plus, the graph doesn’t adjust for population.

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

Germany destroyed its economy to save the planet.

Great job.

My review of gpt-oss on macOS: it doesn’t compete with ChatGPT in world knowledge, but it’s quite decent at reasoning with the material you provide. For open-ended questions, weak; as a logic engine to process your own data, surprisingly solid. Perfect for a flight.

name a bigger flop

Microsoft would lose OpenAI's AI in Office and OpenAI would break free from depending on its investor's ecosystem.

OpenAI's perfect play: using Microsoft's money to build the product that dethrones it.

[Javier Lacort @javierlacort]

A reasonable move that would culminate the Microsoft-OpenAI divorce: @OpenAI buying @NotionHQ. Notion has Docs, @NotionCalendar, and @NotionMail. They inject their native models and turn ChatGPT into an ecosystem. It would be an AI-powered Office, not a bolted-on Copilot.
