Weeknote, Sunday 8th June

  • Packed week, too many back to back meetings and too little thinking time. Also full of admiration for our comms team as in the last 3 weeks we’ve had the future King and Queen and the current PM visit Glasgow. Milestone events.
  • WWDC tomorrow. Usually look forward to it but not so much this year. Apple Intelligence has failed, Apple fighting to protect their App Store control and $$$ and considering it’s a developer conference they’ve got a tough audience. I’m also done with the 2 hour videos and wish they’d go back to a live show. Rumours reveal much of what’s coming now including a redesign across all operating systems. Ahead of the reveal Sebastiaan de With posted a great read on what could be next. Fascinated to see how close he is to reality.
  • Sad news yesterday that Bill Atkinson, one of the original pioneers at Apple, had died. I hope Apple acknowledge his work tomorrow. You can see some of his impact in this video of Jobs introducing the Macintosh, round about the 29 minute mark.
  • Fed up of all the AI bollocks posts? My AI skeptics Friends are all Nuts is for you.
  • Inside the life of a 24/7 streamer. Black mirror in real life. Grim.
  • Finished Split Fiction today. Class game full of clever puzzles and never punished you by making you replay levels or getting stuck. Impressed they kept up the originality through to the last level. Great coop game.
