New 🎥 from me: Lately, I’ve noticed companies smashing ✨ onto every new feature they claim is “AI-powered”. I set out to find out why this is happening, and wound up in Japan 🇯🇵 How AI Stole the ✨ Sparkles Emoji ✨ Enjoy: youtu.be/g-pG79LOtMw

@thinkrectangles @verge @Google My bad, meant to share the gift link: theverge.com/tech/964714/si…

@Davidimel @verge @Google ah yes, the paywall

iOS 27 is finally out via public beta! I wrote for @verge about how much Siri AI has been impressing me, but why Apple needs to court developers (looking mostly @google ) to truly make it work this time. For real for real on god. No cap. theverge.com/e/964714 h/t @mattcassinelli for the interview!

@T_H_A_N_O_S_69 It’s a joke my man

@Davidimel What do you mean, where are they gonna find that. Ram prices are either gonna normalize by then, or MICRON Samsung and SK HYNIX are gonna go bankrupt paying the lawsuit money

Where are they gonna find all that

@ShishirShelke1 That canyon color is absolutely gorgeous

@SarveshBheekhun @mattcassinelli @verge @Google They can develop against it for TestFlight right now, but yes they’ll have to wait for the full SDK to push to people’s phones! App intents aren’t new but there are a crapload of new entity and intent schemas that are locked behind the iOS 27 SDK to give Siri much more control

@Davidimel @mattcassinelli @verge @Google Just read it, great piece! I’ve seen app intents start working in beta 3 last week for third-party apps, pretty exciting! Would devs really have to wait for the iOS 27 SDK to go fully out of beta before integrating with Siri? App Intents and exposing data to Spotlight isn’t new

I’m happy to answer anyone’s questions about how Siri AI works with apps. Journalists, creators, developers, and business folks alike. The App Intents API is deep & I’ve been living in it for years.

@lukezim @verge @Google Fitbod! It’s my weight training app. They have custom icons

@Davidimel @verge @Google Going to ask the important question here: What’s the app to the right of Health?

@iambrandonzink @verge @Google Definitely better than iOS 26!

@Davidimel @verge @Google How’s battery? That’s basically my only concern.

@Mysterious91480 Haha I know! Just pointing out that it’s what Bluesky is trying to do 😅

@Davidimel don't laugh, it was a homage your dedication to the universal protocol 💙 not everyone is a troll online

Finally got my handle on here 🥺 Someone using it to impersonate me was the reason they verified my account back in 2015, but I was never able to actually get it. Finally unified across every platform.

@Mysterious91480 You laugh but that's what the Digital Identifiers are on the AT protocol

@Davidimel If only there was a universal protocol to determine identity

@Samue_LxL Yes I did! WhatsApp gave me a heads up a few days before so I nagged it as soon as it went live lol

@Davidimel Did you snag the WhatsApp username too? I have a feeling those are going to be a struggle to secure once they role out officially.

@DimSartz_ Well at least I know an easy way to get Durvidimel back if I regret this change

@Davidimel Yes and that’s why it would never be worth it for me unless I was like a company or something. I understand they want to avoid people paying for one month to get the handle but they could for example after 3 years of continuous subscription to give the handle for life

@rsencion You have to have premium plus!

@Davidimel David, hey! Do I have to pay to do that? is theres someone I can talk to? I'm @sencion on Instagram and even when the same handle is not taken here, it doesn't appear available to me in settings. 😔

@DimSartz_ Wait are you for real

@Davidimel The bad thing is that if you ever decide you don’t want to pay for Premium Plus they’ll take it back

@AkJn99 I think you're probably right... maybe I'll change it back lol. When I was in highschool I was the snare drumline captain. The other two captains were named Tara and Yara so our music professor just called us "Tara, Yara, and Durvid". Kinda just percolated out lol

@Davidimel Nooooo durvidimel was so iconic (I never knew what that meant though) Congrats XD

@thesherlocker You might be right I'm kinda missing it now

@Davidimel long live durvid imel i'll always map that to you

@jb Lower case i because upper case just looks like an 'l'

@Davidimel Waitaminute… you finally scored your handle but did upper case D and lower case i?! Diabolical! Or was this legacy from when the first person registered it?

@iHaadiYT It took about 2 months instead of 2 weeks but we got there

@Davidimel Yay.. when I can afford the premium plus, I’d try it too

@SanjeevStunner Bless 🙂‍↕️

@Davidimel Been rooting for it since 2017 lol congrats
