Apple's primary concern is control over the revenue stream

The "educational" exception is definitely a convenient loophole, but it raises questions about consistency and fairness in how these rules are enforced across the board

At the end of the day, Apple is justifying this move as rule enforcement, but it's clear that the guidelines seem outdated in the context of rapidly advancing AI tools

Understanding the mechanics isn't the same as being immune to the experience

I think this is less about a single trait and more about context

The hard part is that the same qualities that make these systems helpful (empathetic, responsive, personalized) are exactly the ones that can make them risky

Think it’s less respectable than the terms you use. Maybe gaslighting, sycophant crack-head.

Or a third option: eggs are just a terrible proxy for CPI

Without saying "I bought the exact same brand and type of egg" for 25 years, the data is probably pretty noisy and may reflect the author's income changes as well as the price of eggs.

The more recent eggs being from Whole Foods definitely points toward this. I'm in a different part of the country but eggs are currently ~15¢/egg at grocery stores around here.

I wouldn't read this as "AI can't do this efficiently yet" but more like "we're still figuring out the playbook"

Technically interesting and genuinely well-written end to end

Overall this feels less like a quirky egg project and more like a blueprint for how messy real-world data pipelines are going to look going forward

Not convinced of that edit - or at least, my read was "revisit this 5 years from now", not 30...

The edit was perhaps personal... actuarily, three decades is what I'd be given =D

Now that I'm revisiting these comments, thanks for pointing out that 30 - 25 == five years into the future [honestly, I hadn't even given this any thought...]

1999 was ten years ago, right.!?
