I was just rambling about it to my wife - it's finally good and it finally can understand me correctly.

Apple always had access to app's internal API for AppleScript and accessibility, so now that they exposed it to an LLM (with upcoming claude and gemini support), they are a serious power. And iPhones are in the hands of a lot of folks around the globe. Exciting.

I love it. The RAM is not a problem because Apple knows a dirty secret – apps adapt to the environment both at runtime at design time. Give them less RAM, they'll allocate less and clean caches more sooner.

Counting 38 acquired companies as dead is misleading the reader.
