I am astounded that Apple shipped the new Siri in iOS 27 at this low level of quality. - Worse speech recognition - Broken: mixes up AM/PM, fails to complete tasks used to work - Asks a follow-up then stops listening; forgot what it asked - Worse than GPT 3.5 as an AI

New manager? Admire how veteran leaders handle tough convos, and feel like you're not "fluent" in the same language🤔? You're not alone. Books and training teach rules, but don't train your brain. That's where practice comes in. Details in our latest blog: managerspring.com/blog/manag… #Leadership #NewManager #LeadershipCoaching

I have 2 modest proposals: *Mobile operator* that charges calls/SMS outside my contacts a nominal fee and credits my account. No more robo. *Checking account* that requires 2FAC auth to initiate payments (1 time or recurring) why are bank accts less protected than my X acct.

What’s happening within Warner’s software team that the HBOMax ➡️ Max rebrand wasn’t just an app update?

Artifact is rapidly becoming my go-to for all kinds of news. I'm now realizing how much of my Twitter usage was for curated news, which it did poorly but better than anything else.

I now have a dilemma of whether to unfollow a bunch of news outlets on Twitter that aren't helpful anymore. That might drastically decrease the freshness of my feed, but what's left will be more concentrated relevance. Hmm.

I feel like the number of conversations has plummeted and my feed is mostly news outlet bots these days. Blue Sky? Mastodon? Where’d everyone go?

So @hbomax is becoming just "max"? Seems like an unforced error at a time when the service is just starting to recover from multiple poor rebrands and confusion between the app / cable channel / etc.

I’ll never understand why this wasn’t the product all along

Curious whether we’ll see mainstream-level investment in other game franchises. Last of Us is not the only great story. What do you want to see?
The Last of Us set a new bar for mainstream success. Even without the finale, the game-to-tv adaptation was the most in-demand TV show during its run according to @ParrotAnalytics. venturebeat.com/games/hbos-t…

My Safe Search is set to "moderate". ChatGPT must be set to "shit a pot dealer might say"? I was showing off the new #Bing chat to my 10yo son. He was going on about whether water is "wet" or "sticky" and if the difference is only a matter of degree. Here's Bing's take..

FWIW I think ChatGPT is amazing and use it all the time. First time giving Bing a spin, and in front of my son no less, and I was surprised to see this!

We launched this first for Quest Pro last year, I'm really proud of the team for pulling off being able to bring this to Quest 2 users! Being able to quickly look up a game tip or message friend while playing VR is awesome.

As some of you have started to notice, we're rolling out a direct touch experiment with v50. It's a massive step forward in Hands usability in the Shell. It's powered by the Interaction SDK, so you can easily build the same interactions in your app. reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/com…

Now I’m getting ads in my Twitter feed saying “The New Bing Is Here!” From what I can tell it’s just a few canned queries unless you’ve been accepted into the waitlist (press??). Soooooo weeeeeird. Wasteful.
I just tried Bing. Same old Bing. Further down the page there’s a “waitlist”. You need to install the Bing app and change a bunch of defaults to get “faster” access on the waitlist. OpenAI put ChatGPT right out for public use no strings. Unforced error from Microsoft.
