Apple is blocking AI coding apps because its entire review model assumes software holds still — but AI-generated apps dissolve that assumption entirely. The real conflict isn’t regulatory; it’s ontological. The infrastructure built around static software artifacts — version numbers, review queues, bug reports — wasn’t designed for code that generates itself at runtime.
It’s fascinating, even fun, to watch models evolve and being challenged like this.
There’s something magical about submitting a request in Claude that triggers an AI agent to run while you continue working on something else. I can see a world where many AI agents work all day for me, doing all sorts of cool things.
This morning, while chatting with ChatGPT to learn how to block access to one of my websites for a specific country (Russia, for example), I got my first ads in ChatGPT since I’m on the free tier. How cool is that?
Side note: I’m considering blocking access to my websites for specific hostile countries and replacing the content with a “GTFO” page. Yep, I’m like that. 💪🏻👊🏻 I’m still trying to figure that out because using DNS Proxy on Cloudflare is discouraged by Ghost and many other hosting services.
This morning, I tidied up my to-do list. Most of my ideas or projects involving Apple Shortcuts are now cancelled because I found alternatives using Claude AI. That’s a rather positive, as I never really embraced the Shortcuts mindset.
Now that I am comfortable with Claude Code and the Anthropic ecosystem, I find it difficult to switch and explore Codex for developing a new web application. I know I will eventually do it, but I tend to be loyal to a platform if possible.
I’ve been trying to make Claude Code work with Chrome for development purposes and failed miserably. I’m doing all the required setup, and no, nothing seems to work. Claude Code isn’t able to preview changes on my local browser. Is it because it doesn’t support the ARC Browser? I tested Codex, and it worked right from the bat! Mmmm.
CIOs ready for another role-change as AI becomes agent of chaos — The Register
As software generates software and autonomous agents execute work, the CIO’s center of gravity shifts from building systems to governing outcomes.
We’ve been delegating so much stuff in the last 10-15 years… like moving the on-prem data centers to cloud providers… transforming manager’s roles from hardware acquisition and planning to contractual surveillance, FinOps, etc. AI will accelerate this but in a new direction.
Apple did not win an AI race. Apple made a memory-architecture decision in 2020 that turned out to be the AI race, five years before there was an AI race.
Maybe we should stop focusing on Siri failures and, like Om Malik said, on the real story where Apple has a five year lead… which happens to make a big difference in an AI-distributed world.
Deleted a few dozens Shortcuts today. All sort of Shortcuts: simple ones, utility ones, more complex ones. Many of them aren’t needed anymore because of my AI usage. I’m curious to see how Apple will make the Shortcuts landscape evolve in the age of AI.
Sometimes I test a local LLM on my M2 MacBook Air, which isn’t very powerful for this task. After a few prompts, it gets quite hot.🌡️ A MacBook Pro, with fans, would handle it better. Now, think about millions of people prompting LLMs in data centers worldwide, with much more powerful models responding and consuming huge amounts of energy. No wonder some parts of the world are experiencing an energy crisis because of AI.
