Apple and others have tried to fix the discovery issue. And some of the platforms tell them to fuck off. Such as Netflix. And formerly Amazon.
If you’re not aware, AppleTV will list things across many streaming services and take you right to the shows/movies in the respective apps. As long as a platform is participating. So you just browse/search in a central place.
Apple and Amazon worked out their differences a few years ago and their stuff is now part of the index.
I wonder if this bundle will change that. Currently, Netflix does not integrate with these sort of features.
In a Reddit Q&A, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman let slip that he wants the company to be able to generate “NSFW stuff” for users — and he has examples of just what kind of “stuff” he means....
“Death of the what? DVD is not dead, at all,” Kevin Costner said. “That’s what they’d have you believe.

He’s right about making movies for their life. If more movies tried to stand the test of time that would counter some of the problems in movies right now.
Physical media? I’m not so sure. He should pivot to saying “physical media” next time he talks about it tho.
This is an old photo. This was the very first cat tree we bought for Sencha before we realized he was a bit bigger than the average cat. We ended up having to return the tree because it was too small for him. He briefly used the tree but he could never seem to be able to find a comfortable spot on it....
Well. I had to look up what you were on about with the Dwight spinoff. It was just an episode that they were attempting to use as a pilot for a spinoff, and it failed.
I remember that episode had a different feel. I had no idea there was a scheme behind it.
Nah. They just choose to do this staggered rollout. It is weird that the M4 is starting here. But various devices have been used as the “first” of each Apple Silicon generation.
The current iMacs have M3. And the studio is still on M2. That does not mean the iMac is favored over the Studio. Nor did it mean the iMac is favored over the previous iPads.
Edit: I just finished watching the main part. I think they could have gone further. I assume some people will be curious about Nicotine gum/lozenges after this video. And wonder if it’s an ideal alternative.
Otherwise, the way they show all the downsides is really effective IMO.
