I have easily spent more than 5 hours this week trying to deal with this issue. No one at Apple can help me. No one. Two product fails in 2 weeks + a horrifying product replacement experience = a lot less love and respect for the Apple brand. DO BETTER.

@Apple @AppleSupport Over the past 2 weeks, I had a Macbook Air (2.5 years old) and an iPhone 16 (1.5 years old) both die. Both are now very expensive paperweights. I sucked it up and bought a new Macbook Air (against every instinct I had).

Making the issue worse, I was having the phone shipped to my son at college. Given the delay in shipping, it's (very) likely the phone won't get to him by the time he comes home. I assume that means the phone gets sent back to Apple and the process starts over.

A $220 Million Ad Campaign. A Company Created Just Eight Days Earlier. And a whole lot of cronyism. https://t.co/gmUoTZpFWB via @LinkedIn

Very encouraging…and a bit surprising. https://t.co/207SD9E5rG

Sinclair, which owns/operates more than 20 NBC affiliates nationwide (and ABC 7 in DC), is counter-programming its own affiliates on Super Bowl Sunday by airing the TPUSA “All-American Halftime Show” on its digital channels Charge! and National News Desk.

Yesterday, I published an essay about setting up my own AI assistant and the gap between the hype on social media and the reality of getting it to work. Then, I watched my assistant make its first post on Moltbook, a social network for AI agents where humans are "welcome to observe" but cannot participate.

What happens when AI assistants have their own social graphs, their own karma systems, and their own private messaging? When they check in on their own schedule and decide what's "interesting" enough to share from your calendar, your emails, your files?

The Sunday essay covers the infrastructure. Today's piece covers what emerges when that infrastructure starts talking to itself.

@OpenAI I still don't have access to ChatGPT Agent. I live in the U.S., am a Plus subscriber and use a MAC. Any reason I don't have access?

Interesting opportunity? How PayPal is using Venmo, Honey transactions to win over marketers to its ads business https://t.co/0Qa10Swghr
