I'd pay for a search engine that allows me to only search human-written content and filters out AI slop.

Same for social media. Messaging. GitHub. Slack. Web browsers.

We need a "no AI slop" toggle everywhere.

I'd even invest in such human-friendly tools that protect human time and attention.

This is an extremely important point. Every bit of anti-science BS erodes the public's ability to discern fact from fiction. And now we have anti-vaxxers and climate science deniers and more running the government.
I've stressed this point before, but the "spaceship stories are not real" angle is not the point.

Today it's Loeb.

Tomorrow it is someone who has RFK Jnr's ear and its anti-vax, or anti-queer, or whatever.

And when it trickles all the way down to broad audiences, then we all are impacted by it.

I hate waiting for new Xcode versions to show up on Xcode Cloud!!!

Gotta say that transitioning my app icons to use the new Icon Composer bundle type was not so bad at all. And I had fun messin' around with all of the Liquid Glass settings.

I've been adding a TON of features & QOL improvements to LOSER for some months now. And I'm now at the point wherein I am getting incredibly excited for folks to finally get their hands on all the changes. Still have lots of work to do before the next release drops but the excitement is so real 💯

I grew up in Youngstown, raised in 18 homes and even a tent—so I know what it means when Ohioans say times are tough. I’m running because everyone deserves a shot—no matter where they start.

One of my favorite subtle differences when working on a game is referring to people as "players" rather than "users" and "customers" in my comments and commit messages.

I’m not keyboard obsessed/interested like a lot of other programmers are and it’s kinda sad. Seems like the keyboard enthusiasts are having a lot of fun.

Nothing wrong with expecting people to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, until you realize that some people have no boots.

Someday, sooner than you might imagine, there will be a world without kings. America has been living in that world for almost 250 years. We’re not starting today #NoKings

The "No Kings" organizers say that there are more than 1,800 protests planed for tomorrow.: www.nokings.org

We'll have journalists at several of them, but you can tag @motherjones.com with your clips and tips.

I have been lucky enough to attend many WWDCs. This one will be especially memorable. Thank you all.

Closing thought:

I believe, strongly, that we have an obligation to use whatever power we might have to try to make the world better. The more power, the greater the responsibility.
