What a rollercoaster this device has been on. After the long delay since it was rumored to arrive, it might now have to go head-to-head with OpenAI’s rumored device. If the current state of Siri AI (in beta) and GPT-Live are any indication, it’s going to be a fight.
This is an extraordinary moment, to be sure. Still, how you meet moments like this gives an indication whether your values are strongly held, or just light commitments, kept when they are easy. It doesn’t surprise me that Meta’s were the latter. Let’s see how Apple does with its commitments.
Letting agents control your computer introduces a number of security concerns, but potential access to secrets like passwords is high on the list. I’m glad to see 1password taking a shot at addressing this.
Now that I’ve had more time to work with the new ChatGPT app, I’m even more convinced that it is “New Coke”-level bad. But read on, because GPT-Live—also introduced this week—is compelling.
Oof, shots fired! “As a natural result, OpenAI’s nascent hardware business now rests on the shakiest of foundations, rotten to its core by its illegal reliance on misappropriated trade secrets.”
A series of changes to how a newly public company qualifies to be part of a stock index might see you invested in AI companies in a way previously not possible. Here are some links and thoughts on how SpaceX’s upcoming IPO might affect you.
Xcode 26.4 is out. There’s a long list of fixed issues and improvements, but my favorite fixes the issue with Codex I posted the workaround for earlier.
I agree with Manton here: I don’t want the rest of that stuff in the Codex app, which has been getting solid improvements over time. Crowding it with the other stuff sounds bad.
I enjoyed this post, and I think it’s got some really good observations. I do think it underestimates the power of having working software that really does something, gives you a sense of what you wish it did instead, etc.
I’ve been working on a native Mac app, and here are some details of some recent sessions, troubleshooting hangs and lag with Instruments and Codex.
This is a life saver if you’re using the Codex app with Xcode.
