The iPhone Duo shows Apple at its best

It's an extra flourish that's not necessary by any means, and I can understand why someone would wonder why I think this is any better than what Samsung is doing, but it's the sort of extra flourish that elevates the experience. Now that I've seen it, it makes what I was used to feel old.

I feel like it's been awhile since Apple seemed to care about the details. Albeit, it seems a lot of the decisions they've been making over the past couple years were aimed and tailored for this exact moment—which we had to suffer through to get to this point. I still don't plan on getting a Duo... but maybe next year.

Meat proxy

A person who forwards AI-generated text, code, or other output without reading, understanding, or validating it. The person acts only as a relay between the AI system and the intended recipient.

A little late on this one as it’s travelled across the interwebs and back already, but I felt like it needed to be preserved here as well.

Uber caps employee AI spending after blowing through budget in 4 months

Bloomberg reports that the company has instituted a new rule that places a monthly $1,500 cap per employee and per agentic coding tool, including Anthropic’s Claude Code or Cursor.

AI fanatics love to say “this is the worst AI will ever be,” but it’s probably also the cheapest it will ever be as it’s subsidized by VC money until they can get people hooked and loyal to brands; bleeding billions as they do. And still, Uber has to put caps on their employees (caps which feel pretty high to me). Just imagine how expensive things’ll be when they have to start turning a profit.
