I'd assumed situation was other way around - largely based Apple's continued omission of desktop class functionality for macOS in SwiftUI e.g. tree view, multi-window, sensible undo support etc and addition of of overlapping capabilities to iPadOS e.g. Stage Manager, mouse support etc.
Looked very much like Apple were on reasonable path to replacing macOS's aging NeXTSTEP UI underpinnings by evolving iPadOS UI into a replacement strategy.
Hope article is right, it would be good to see Apple's give their desktop platform a bit of the love they've focused on their other platforms.
Anthropic has drawn two red lines: no mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons ... OpenAI, Google and xAI—have agreed to loosen safeguards ... Pentagon has demanded that AI be available for “all lawful purposes.”
I predict (Kalshi ?) that Anthropic will ultimately be ejected from the Pentagon running. Morals and ethics be damned, all the others will likely tell their workers: any that don't agree, they will be escorted out the door if they don't like it. Corporate America. Just wait for the next genocidal operation where A I is found contributing to the mass murdering. Cuba ?
There is a another more interesting outcome where AI tells the Pentagon everything the Pentagon does is mostly pointless and can be shutdown. This is when the fun starts.

1) The models like us have finite context windows and intelligence, even with good engineering practices system complexity will eventually slow them down.
2) At the moment at least, the code still needs to be reviewed and signed off by us and reading someone else's code is usually harder than writing it.
I am after the automated PR agents have all passed a PR I tend to let Claude Code and
Codex give me a summary, with an MCP skill to read the requirement story. I trust their ability to catch edge cases and typos more than me. I just check the general structure of the PR
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google et. al. have EULAs and the best lawyers money can buy ready to argue that any damage done by publicly releasing bad or malicious code produced or reviewed with their systems is the developers responsibility for not checking properly.
> I trust their ability to catch edge cases and typos more than me.
Given the vendors EULAs etc, if poop really hits the fan with released code, then how is that likely to sound if the lawyers get involved?
> Are people still reading PRs in detail manually?
Ultimately it all depends on circumstance and appetite for risk, but yes many/most places still manually checking releases.
The study was on those over 65, so in terms of London smog and India; life expectancies lower so maybe if data available similar signals might be very difficult/impossible to detect.

We can hope but - tire wear produces similar sized micro plastic pollution [0] and electric cars are heavier and are likely to produce more of them [1]. Add into mix that chemically different make up and who knows [2]
And what happens when the model vendors take the obvious next step and Waymo's things up and starts delivering development systems that they are willing to guarantee don't need a local agent herder for?
