Apple confirmed that Google Gemini will power the next-generation version of Siri that is slated to launch later this year.
The next-generation version of Siri is expected to be introduced with iOS 26.4,
which will likely be released to the general public in March or April.
The new capabilities will include better understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls.
For example, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri abou…

I’ve seen a lot of articles and posts about AI that use the term “like it or not” as in “like it or not, AI is here, and we might as well get used to it” and that is such bullshit.

Also: Decomputing.

Now that the US has created a de facto war with Venezuela I am wondering whether Venezuela or its proxies will engage the US on a military basis. Not that they will "win", but they can do a lot of damage.
For instance, is Air Force One immune to attacks that Venezuela might launch? I doubt that it is.
And are US gov't officials and resources, anywhere in the world, now legitimate war targets? I think they might be.
And I wonder whether this might mean that …

So, it would seem the Gorton and Denton by-election will be crucial. Starmer will cling on until the result and then a leadership election will happen.

Seriously, if Wes Streeting got into power, I’d be fucked.
