The Real Danger of AI: Shortcuts Around What Matters Most

I like this thought from @patrickrhone:

The biggest danger with AI is that it is a shortcut around things that matter. Things that matter intellectually, things that matter socially, and things that matter emotionally.

I think that’s right. We have to make deliberate choices, which is hard right now because AI is like, “Hi, I can do everything for you.” But what actually makes us uniquely human? What has more value and meaning if we do it ourselves? I want shortcuts that give us more time for those things that matter. (And it’s complicated because that might not be the same for everyone.)

From Remote Work to Face-to-Face: Meeting Vincent in Barcelona

I got to meet Vincent in person for the first time while in Barcelona. He and his wife even brought me some sweet treats and special vodka from Poland! Traveling is also a reminder that we’re all human, each of us with our own perspectives and day-to-day lives. If we judge people from across the ocean, people we have never met, we’re probably going to get it wrong.

Apple’s Notarization Service May Be Running Your Apps During Review

Tyler Hall:

I submitted a new build of one of my Mac apps to Apple’s Notary service - like every new release. Normally, the notarization goes through in just a few minutes. Today, multiple builds have been pending for 2+ hours. And, weirdly, my API server is getting traffic from those two builds I submitted for notarization.

Does Apple’s notary service…launch and run app submissions? I’ve never noticed this behavior before.

Thomas Reed:

In theory, the notarization process is supposed to weed out anything malicious. In practice, nobody really understands exactly how notarization works, and Apple is not inclined to share details.

[…]

All developers and security researchers know is that notarization is fast. I’ve personally notarized software quite a few times at this point, and it usually takes less than a couple minutes between submission and receipt of the e-mail confirming success of notarization. That means there’s definitely no human intervention involved in the process, as there is with App Store reviews. Whatever it is, it’s solely automated.
