When you ask Siri a question, you really want to hear the computer from Star Trek or at least something that sounds smart and responsive.

In a keynote at its developer-focused WWDC, Apple laid out its plans to give you a true Apple Intelligence experience. Apple Intelligence will come as part of Apple’s operating systems, so in effect you’re getting it for free. And you know what they say—if the service is free, you are the product.

Former President Donald Trump recently gave his most extensive public comments to date on artificial intelligence not to a major national newspaper, or even a friendly right-wing outlet, but… Logan Paul, the infamous social media influencer turned professional wrestler turned hit podcaster. “It is a superpower, and you want to be right at the beginning of it, but it is very disconcerting,” Trump said to Paul, before recounting that he struggled to discern whether a deepfaked commercial of himself was real.

I’ve written several times in the past about how network consolidation and centralization of networks is putting our broadband and voice networks in increased jeopardy.
