BREAKING: I asked @SpeakerJohnson if he’ll try to repeal the CHIPS Act if Trump wins and they have control of Congress. “I expect that we probably will.” @RepWilliams responds: “I will remind him night and day how important the CHIPS Act is.” #NY22 @CitrusTVNews 🚨

Everyone should watch this. This isn’t CRT this is history and it’s not up for dispute
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

The more I think about Craig Federighi's quote, "AI for the rest of us" referring to Apple's on-device AI solution, the worse it sounds #WWDC24 #WWDC It boils down to this question: who is "us"?🧵1/5

If it's not about fighting for the little guy, then this statement starts sounding like, "finally, the rest of us in the Apple ecosystem get access to AI!" That's not quite a true message either #WWDC

...but it also doesn't leave a flattering impression. It makes me think that Apple has been left behind and is playing catch up to Android and Windows ecosystems #WWDC

Having spent wayyy too much time making stickers in iMessage, Genmoji looks fun. Just not sure it's (plus other on-device AI features) worth the cost of buying into a tablet or phone with A17 Pro or M-series chips #WWDC

There it is. iPhone, iPad, and Mac with A17 Pro and all M series chips will have the new on-device AI capabilities like language processing, image generation, and cross-app actions. They're calling it Apple Intelligence (well played) #WWDC
