> Only $250 for the LTE version for Google Fi subscribers

Where are you seeing that? I only see $499 with up to $125 off for trade-in.


On credit its $10/mo for 24 months.


Well then you clearly should have read it first. As it kept getting escalated and went to review board and was still rejected stating first review was correct.


Their bigger model is not ready - watermelon code name was still being prepared for release as of a month ago


That's an AI slop blog


But it's an honest take!


Jeff and Sanjay both leaving!


It's Apple, being hostile towards developers is their whole thing.


Apple does prioritise their users even above their developers, fair enough.


How distributing an app that steals crypto for weeks is "prioritise their users"?


Are developers not users too? In my mind, people using the App Store to post apps are also users of the App Store.


I'd bet 90% of people implementing a nag screen go "ugh, a nag screen" when they're in user context on the App Store just like the rest of us.


I more meant that, from Apple's perspective, somebody who downloads an app from the App Store is a user, and somebody who posts an app is also a user. Different use cases, obviously, but they're both users. If they prioritize users, both groups should be included.


And when the needs conflict?


Yeah you’re supposed to praise them for it because they have laptops with aluminum shells or whatever.


As someone who has done quite a bit of development for the various apple platforms since ~system 7... what the hell are you talking about?

Compared to windows the documentation is better and clearer, the apis are generally clearer and the sdks are better put together.

That said I hardly interact with the app store, but when I have it's been.. fine.

Beats the hell out of the microsoft ecosystem.


Pay me $100/year and I’ll explain to you what the GP is talking about.


> losing the race

Lol, lmao even


Their position seems fair to me - sure it does help them as well, but I don't necessarily disagree with the risk they are laying out.


THiS! I'm pretty amazed how many people shoot them down without acknowledging the very real and somewhat probable risks they and other researchers have laid out. I don't agree with every point they make but folks really do just seem to think we should just keep building any technology and whine when we start to consider there are very real risks associated with powerful technology. checks notes see nuclear bombing of japan


Re: shooting them down, I think there are a lot of people out there that consider the US a bigger threat than China. Maybe they're right, I don't know. But I do know that as an American, I'm not looking forward to finding out.

And then there are probably people who are more politically neutral who think Anthropic is using China as an excuse to crush competition. Which could also be true.

But fundamentally, if this technology is so dangerous, why does anyone get to control it?


I thought Dwarkesh's position was pretty thoughtful: https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/dow-anthropic

> Nobody is qualified to steward the development of superintelligence. It is a terrifying, unprecedented thing that our species is doing right now, and the fact that private companies aren’t the ideal institutions to take up this task does not mean the Pentagon or the White House is.

> The only way we can preserve our free society is if we make laws and norms through our political system that it is unacceptable for the government to use AI to enforce mass surveillance and censorship and control. Just as after WW2, the world set the norm that it is unacceptable to use nuclear weapons to wage war.


Thanks for sharing, i agree no one should have absolute control of anything imo, and the mo greater the magnitude of implications the more important it should be stewarded democratically with clear and transparent principles with values adhering to things like human dignity, freedom, human, planetary & animal wellbeing etc etc. ill have to read the article


But why do you think you have the right to decide for other governments? This thinking brings wars.

You can try to negotiate though, but first you have to start respecting what has been agreed on.


"..very real risks.."

The only "real risk" I see is to your pockets. You are starting wars, not China.


It is consistent with their stated beliefs, unlike OpenAI who flip flop every 6 months on whether they support open source or not.

I think their biggest PR problem is that many people still think of loss-of-control/misalignment etc. as sci-fi. And the distillation arguments come off poorly because people feel as though all the labs have trained on their creative output without their consent, so they deserve to own the result in some way.


Agreed, makes logical sense. You can disagree with specific premises, but the best arguments aren't "OPEN SOURCE GOOD" or "SELFISH ANTHROPIC"!


China bad!


Then you did not read it clearly.

Edit: Typo


Which of those aren't related to regulation? Preventing Chinese models from entering our market? Using boogeyman 'distillation' as a means to target competitors? Point 3 is literally about ADDING regulation.

Please elucidate things clearly for everyone else.


Perhaps they saw it crystal clear.


Haven't been logged out of the app on my Apple TV in 4 years now.


Apple TV is not a TV. It’s the terrible quality of all of their TV apps that leads to this behavior.


Apple TV the hardware!
