My Pixel 7 does, as well. My mother and I use AirTags to keep track of her vehicle and my dad's truck and wallet (he has dementia).

Exactly! Whereas passwords are extremely flexible and can be stored, managed, and written down in numerous ways that are vendor-independent. Want to store your passwords on sticky notes in a safe? Go ahead! Want to use Bitwarden? Yep, you can. KeePass for offline storage? Yes! With good password hygiene (128-bit entropy, never reusing passwords) there is virtually no risk, especially with 2FA added.

I agree. I've been telling people that AI is the last great bubble. Every other place where printed money can go has already been tried.

I like to tell people that "AI" is the "last bubble." It was VR, the metaverse, crypto, NFTs, AR... AI is the Last Great Hype. There's really nothing beyond it. When this bubble pops it'll be remembered for decades to come because nothing will replace it.

90%+ of humanity is dumb as rocks and wouldn't know "AI" or "AGI" from baby's first line of JavaScript.

Wouldn't that constitute a public performance of copyrighted material? The police themselves could be DMCAed. Haha

Who is "we?" Software developers who are growing up "vibe coding?" We're even further from the underlying hardware on the abstraction layers; just how are "we" going to care more about efficiency?

Not all of us are gullible idiots. I've been in tech for more than 30 years and I avoid AI except for trivial search results. There are undoubtedly many more like us who see it for what it is. Guard your spirit!

Antitrust has been dead for decades. It spans administrations and parties.
