This should be a preference then, just like in video games where profanity can either be shown or hidden in multiplayer chats. Then it makes the user aware this exists as a feature and gives them control over it.

My rule of thumb in software is: if there's enough of a dispute on how something should work, it should probably turn into a preference available to users. It's adds scope, but it respects user choice in places where it matters.

Building software long enough I've realized that the valuable part is your vision of it. The opinionated part. There's no toggle to allow p0rn in the app store, and that's good. We can argue about user choice, but undeniably even if such a toggle existed, more users would fall into addiction. Environment matters more than "self control" or "discipline".

I agree with you (on certain types of software), and I also don't see Apple as the be-all and end-all or assume that its opinions are always right. This is just my opinion based on my lived experience, both as a user and as an engineer.

I agree, although I think one thing they could improve is giving more examples of what you can try, making them clickable to test the prompt yourself and see the result.

I find prompt boxes without many example usages to be sort of a void on the usability side of things. People can feel stuck without some guidance.

It turns out a lot of people want to join the US Military.

If they charged a newspaper price for it per se (like $1 a month), Google would be rolling in cash with as many users they have.

Newspapers are not $1/month.

And Google's ad revenue is likely more than that. Or, if it's not for every user, the ones who would opt out of ads are the ones who can pay. You're cannibalizing your highest value users.

You are worth much more than a dollar. Each search is worth between 10 and 90 cents. If Google shared that with the user people would be happier

I love this level of peak satire so much. Please keep it going.

I guess they don't like money, because Cursor is really good and offers a variety of models. What a shame they're being so petty about this.

So frustrating. Too many hiring teams seeking the "perfect" candidate instead of hiring for completely valid and amazing potential.

I'd wager you're far better than whatever candidate they landed on, because the person who apparently qualified for that role probably isn't thinking while they prompt away.

Why are engineering teams looking for brainless monkeys? It's to their detriment all around if they aren't hiring capable people.

That's pretty embarrassing. It's such a poor representation of gaming. I'm surprised anyone is still talking about it.

It would have been funny to see Tomb Raider return for it's 12th annual performance comparison in a 2026 Apple keynote.

They should have used Cyberpunk or Control. They are few years old now but are native Mac games with ray tracing

Well, there's 24 people still playing it now on Steam

I never even heard of this game.

Sounds like we're gonna need browsers to pop an audio playback permission, as annoying as that seems. Abusive sites just can't help themselves.
