Criticism is not necessarily hate


I'm old enough to remember four TV channels and a dial, and I think humanity's been destroying humanity with technology since technology existed. Nobody fights the AI model wars the way we fought the OS wars, though.


iPhones get faster every year and the software doesn't get better. I said it while peeling carrots, again with Matt about Liquid Glass, and again in my ranking of phone annoyances. Then there's the report that Apple is paying creators, the Googlebook and who it's for, and a wild rumor that I hate Apple. Criticism is not necessarily hate.


And I've been the world's worst tech content creator since 1996.


I'm not everybody else.
