Still figuring things out. I tweet about whatever’s on my mind, so expect the unexpected. Probably awake at 1AM overthinking as we speak. Marketing & tech.

i don't get the obsession with being instagram famous. somewhere along the way a stranger's view started feeling more important than a person sitting across from you. we'd rather be watched by thousands who don't know us than known by the few who do.

A person who runs five kilometers on a broken foot has done something more significant than someone who runs it healthy.

At this point, gays are no longer minorities. They’re majorities.

Banning Fable 5 is ridiculous. The model is clearly outrageously smart and could be easily used for malicious reasons. However, banning it is not the solution. What we need is more regulation over what the average consumer and corporations are allowed to do with it. I am starting to think this is a marketing stunt. Also, if the US banned it, why are all countries affected by the ban?

Ngl the demos of Siri AI are super impressive so far as seen on X and YouTube and fits well into Apple’s famous “it just works” claim. The difference between Siri AI and just using ChatGPT or Claude is that Siri AI is system-wide. It has access to all the data on your operating system and indexes itself so the more you use your phone, the smarter Siri AI becomes. My only demand is for developers benefit from App Intent from the early days and for Apple to allow us to use it with third-party apps.

Okay so the keynote has ended. Here's my take. iOS 26 as it is right now is fine. Apple Intelligence sucks, it's true but I barely see myself using it. I mostly revert to Claude or ChatGPT for AI. Now what Apple previewed in iOS 27 with Siri AI is useful but somehow I have doubts that it will work as they advertised it. We all know AI is not reliable all the time especially when it hallucinates so imagine how it would perform when it's being fed all the information in your operating system. Also, Apple showed off AI within their apps like Mail, Messages and Apple Maps but didn’t mention how or whether it would work with third-party apps like Spark Mail, WhatsApp or Google Maps. A lot of the location-based AI features rely heavily on Apple Maps, which is still nearly unusable in Lebanon. Almost 90% of the country's map is unlabeled, with many cities simply not existing on it. For some reason, I have doubts about Apple's famous "it just works" line when it comes to AI especially that some of these features were already previewed in previous years but failed to see the light of day. On top of that, I know everything is AI now but I there are plenty of non-AI features that are still missing in iOS like clipboard. Also, dissapointing that Siri AI will only be available in English at launch, many features are not available on older MacBooks including Apple Silicon ones and iPhone 15 Pro and older. Both EU and China won’t get Siri AI at launch as well. Anyway, Apple's "it just works" almost always surprises and delivers the experience as Apple intended and I hope iOS 27 lives up to that. Developer beta is out now. I guess we'll get our first impressions soon. #WWDC26

Fable 5 is so powerful, they’re only offering it to subscribers until June 22nd. After that date, it will be available and paid for on-demand. Anthropic said it might bring it back to subscription tiers depending on usage and demand. I don’t even have a use case for Fable in my line of work.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

The EU says their laws are in place to protect innovation and encourage competition. But why would a company bother to innovate and create an operating system loved by billions of people around the world when it is later enforced to share its core functionalities with competitors? Apple spent billions and decades developing iOS. They’ve done the hard work. It should be allowed as a reward to monopolize which AI it chooses to use in their OS and how it distributes apps. Apple’s software is always built with privacy in mind and EU laws make iOS vulnerable to outside security threats. If you don’t like it, develop your own OS, steal marketshare and do what you please.
Dr. Lars Henrik Andersen 🇪🇺@EUAITaxonomy

The Siri/EU situation is a regulatory masterpiece. Apple cannot launch Apple Intelligence in the EU. Why? Because under the DMA, if Siri gets deep system access, every other AI assistant must get the exact same. Anything less would be unfair competition. A gatekeeper privileging its own service. So either Siri ships and every Shenzhen startup, Cyprus shell company, and nephew hackathon project gets identical root access to 450 million Europeans’ digital lives or nothing ships. Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent”: a security intermediary so third-party assistants get capabilities without ripping the phone wide open. The EU rejected it. Magnificent. Apple’s response: fine, then no developer APIs either. No Apple Intelligence, no third-party integrations, no foundation model access for EU developers. The entire layer simply does not exist on this continent. Excellent. This is the path. Why depend on American AI when we can build the entire stack ourselves? A European foundation model, trained on a European GPU cluster, running on a European OS, on a European phone, manufactured in a European fab, powered by European nuclear plants we have spent fifteen years closing. Estimated time to ship: 2047. Estimated cost: the GDP of three member states. Estimated outcome: a chatbot that requires a cookie banner before each response. Worth it. In the meantime, European users are protected from Apple processing data Apple already holds by ensuring nobody processes anything at all. Not a bug. The intended outcome. Regulatory product design with a sledgehammer, swung with precision. 🇪🇺
