Holy hell, that seems like a lot of messages. It’s never anything important!

“Is your AI accountable for mistakes? All these idiots are…”

I wonder what they spent paying people to implement and communicate this change.

At 600k for a company that size this cost them more money than just paying the extra 4 cents.

I have 2-4 of these preinstalled on all my pants.

Also, did this start when someone made an iPurse joke and someone didn’t let it go?

Did that start recently for you, too? I used to come home with 60% battery on my 15 Pro Max and now I’m at 30% with the same daily usage.

Wandering the desert?

Nay, vibe travelling.

They didn’t release their methods, so I can’t be sure that most of those aren’t just frustrated users telling the LLM to go kill itself.

Half my visits to Wikipedia are because I need to copy and paste a Unicode character and that’s always the highest search result with a page I can easily copy and paste the exact character from.

The advice I’ve seen is to back up your phone (iCloud or iTunes), factory reset, then restore your backup.

These things get bigger and bigger the older your phone is, because OS updates seem to always leave more and more shit laying around (probably for disaster recovery in case the update goes sideways).

Windows has a command you can run to purge all the old update shit to free up space. I wish Apple would get off their ass and implement the same.

Windows has/had a feature where it kept a ton of system update data long after the update was done, and it just sat in a hidden folder on the off chance you wanted to roll back to an earlier state. But there was a command you could run that would wipe all that out, so you’d be stuck on the latest version but got several GB of usable space back.

Apple needs to cool something like that into iOS. I like that there’s an iTunes method to accomplish the same, but it’s way too much effort.

AI doesn’t kill people. People kill people!

AI does, however, kill polar bears.
