WWWe'll see
It was WWDC time, so this newsletter is unashamedly packed with Apple related news, but stay with me… It’s in-depth!
Personally I am looking forward to these “26” releases, but let’s hope that unlike last year, Apple delivers. And maybe it was Apple trying to distract us, but I had a general feeling of people not caring too much about the lack of AI features, or that Apple resolved themselves to being the host and not always having to be the creator of said features.

You Go to Squircle Jail
podcasts.apple.comI make no apology for a lot of WWDC content this issue, but much of it is quite light and basically regurgitates press releases. Not so much the ATP lads, who go into a lot of helpful detail on upcoming features.
Nobody wants a robot to read them a story! The creatives and academics rejecting AI at work and at home | Artificial intelligence (AI) | The Guardian
theguardian.comOne of my main worries in the sea of creative minds bemoaning that AI will kill their meagre livelihoods is that the average person on the street just doesn’t care. This is a classic example of this, the headline says “nobody wants…”, unfortunately I am not sure how true that is.
