People keeps saying Apple is "falling behind in AI."
But I think it's because they're the only big tech company that isn't ok with rushing out a low-quality product that constantly spits out misinformation.
Reporting says the holdup is that Apple's not satisfied with the high error rate. Good.

It’s no guarantee but the first thing you should do if you see an outrageous story that’s just an image or screenshot or video with no link to a reputable source is to check the replies and see if someone is saying “that’s an AI fake.” And then don’t spread it either way because it’s not sourced.

Saying ”Grok apologized” is like If I type “YOU’RE A BITCH” into Speak-And-Spell and tell you “Speak-An-Spell says you’re a bitch”
Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Any other product that called itself “MechaHitler” and produced CSAM would be immediately withdrawn from the market, discontinued, and its creators facing legal consequences.
But for some reason, the guy who gave the president a quarter of a billion dollars is not worried.

Now Pete Hegseth has the Coast Guard spending days looking for the people he didn't manage to kill.
Here's an unusual bit of news: The Coast Guard is on day 4 of searching for survivors of a Dec. 30 airstrike on an alleged drug boat. Unusual because past survivors were either 1) bombed again 2) quickly rescued by the Navy or 3) left to Mexico to recover/not found taskandpurpose.com/news/coast-g...

The effort, now in its fourth day, is the most extensive one conducted by the U.S. since it began attacks on alleged drug ships in September.

It is wild but I think definitely true that a lot of people cannot fathom that many Americans (most I'd say) choose to live in cities with different kinds of people, and we like it, and we do not view everyone's interests as competing.
Mamdani sketched the collective as connected by a single unifying identity—that of a New Yorker—which in turn is made up of a set disparate strands, tied together through diversity. Here, Mamdani challenges the white nationalist vision of America, and celebrates the American creed.
