The OpenAI Copyright Trial Isn’t About Fair Use. It’s About a Lie.

The New York Times claims OpenAI hid evidence in their ongoing copyright trial. But this isn’t just a legal spat over fair use anymore. It exposes a terrifying reality: AI companies’ entire business models are built on data opacity, and if forced to tell the truth about what they scraped, their empires might crumble.

The 4GB AI That Killed the Cloud โ€“ And Why Apple’s Secret Weapon Is About to Upend the Entire Industry

A startup called PrismML compressed a 54GB AI model into just 4GB, making it run entirely on an iPhone.

From politics to the grocery line, the system has been rigged to reward the loudest, most selfish, and most boundary-pushing behavior. The uncomfortable truth: assholes aren’t broken humans; they’re the ones who figured out the game first.

You’re Wrong About Go for Mobile. The Real Hack Isn’t Cross-Platform UI.

Most developers dismiss Go for mobile development because it fails at UI. They’re missing the point. After a year of building with Gomobile, the truth is clear: Go isn’t meant to replace your native UI. It’s meant to annihilate your duplicated backend logic. By using Go as a shared logic layer and keeping the UI native, you escape the bloat of cross-platform frameworks without writing your networking code twice.

Apple Sent My Trademark Complaint to the Scammer. Yes, Really.

A developer reports a scam app on the Apple App Store that steals their icon and name. Appleโ€™s response? They forward the trademark complaint directly to the scammer.
