This article has almost nothing to say. It’s a bit like writing an article saying: “The water that comes out of your tap doesn’t just magically appear through an interdimensional portal. It actually relies on a whole infrastructure of water treatment plants, reservoirs, pumps and pipes. Sometimes a pipe springs a leak and actual real living breathing people have to go and fix it.”

Yeah thanks, what are you actually trying to say? Nothing? Ok.

You can bet they’re selling it to AI companies for training, too.

You think I’m pro-AI? lmao

It’s possible (and surprisingly common) for anti-AI articles to have been written by LLMs.

Slop is already a denial of service attack on our attention, our infrastructure and the signal-to-noise ratio of the information that we consume. I don’t see why I should also spend my time pointing out all of the obvious LLM tells in every slop article that goes by when that takes effort and producing the slop takes zero effort. It’s a losing battle.

I’m sorry that you can’t tell slop from human writing, but I would suggest that to train you discernment circuits in your brain you need to read more human writing. Read some books, read some articles written before 2022, read some blogs of people that you know don’t use LLMs. It’s tough to find good content out there, but it’s not difficult to discern real communication from statistically average mechanically-reclaimed meat substitute.

This article is slop.

The phone has been out for 10 days and this article is from 6 days before it was released.

Why are we looking at an “early benchmark” from before release instead of an actual real benchmark of the device. I don’t get why Geekbench doesn’t have results for iPhone 18, or why this “early benchmark” calls it “iPhone19,2.”

If true, the single core performance of this chip is almost identical to the single-core performance of the new M6 chip.

Something doesn’t seem right, but I don’t know a lot about Geekbench or iOS benchmarks to know if this seems legit or not.

Edit: apparently they haven’t shipped yet?

If you are wondering what exactly is causing the freezes and hangs, the culprit is the “Secure-Boot-Update scheduled task”. As the name suggests, this runs a scheduled Secure Boot update whenever you are online or connected to the internet. That is why many affected users initially thought the issue was related to the internet as they noticed the bug won’t show up when they were offline.

I like the idea of bringing back the BBS over SSH but

This codebase was largely built with AI assistance and is set up for that workflow.

Nah, I’ll stick to IRC.
