Sounds like the premise for a dystopian science fiction novel.

There’s a common and incorrect heuristic that commercial success is validation something is good. I encounter it a lot when talking about music. Just because something is popular doesn’t make it good.

If this wasn’t related to software, it’d simply be called fraud. Selling an AI service that has no AI is lying.

But when it’s a SaSS product it becomes an inspirational hustle culture story.

A business charges for a service and the service was met. what’s the problem here?

I would bet the TOS mentioned manual reviews.

Confidentiality breach. You are supposed to have processes in place to guarantee that your customers data is safe from employees that are not explicitly disclosed to the customer from having access. Saying 'a program makes annotations' versus 'me and my buddy are sitting in undisclosed on your confidential meeting' are two entirely different things from a legal perspective.

"I'll get you to the moon safely" = NASA "I'll get you to the moon" = me with a wood chipper and a very powerful potato gun The startup charged for "AI note- taking", not simply "note taking".

IMO the real fraud was against the investors.

If I invest in your AI startup and find out it's really people doing the work, I'm going to be pissed.

Choosing to frame a story about an air filter as a class warfare thing is unfortunate. It’s an interesting story without the extra concern signaling, and the average reader is smart enough to make the unaffordability connection by themselves.

The display brightness doesn’t go dim enough

I‘d also like a dark mode.

And: on iOS you can reduce the white point quite a bit which makes the display appear very dark indeed. You can even tie it to a shortcut which is quite handy

On iPhone/iPad, use the zoom accessibility feature set to 1x but with the darken filter on.

On Mac, there's an app old app that still works called Shady to get darker than normal.

Great news.

Why? Because in watch nerd and military circles the F-91W is known as the terrorist watch.

Interesting. What applications are these used in?

I was hoping this would be the announcement of a mini iPhone.

Instead they’re selling larger pockets because normal pockets aren’t big enough for large phones.

You would think pants manufacturers would cotton on and start making decent phone pockets.

I wear jeans a lot and the back pockets are dangerous for phones, and the front pockets are uncomfortable when sitting if there's a phone in them. I want a phone pocket on the outside of the leg that's big enough for a phone but not too bulky/puffy.
