looking at the claims i would say 5 humans would disagree even more than the llms

some of the claims where llms disagree:

"On May 18, 2026, Ukraine carried out a drone attack on Moscow, Russia."

"The slogan "Simon Go Back" was chanted in opposition to the Simon Commission in British India (1928–1930)."

"Neptune Deep will start delivering natural gas in 2027."

"A hotel villa in Kyrgyzstan displayed a sign stating 'no Jews, no dogs'."

"Donald Trump said that an attack on Iran was postponed at the request of Gulf allies."

Re:Apple Business on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @06:29AM (#47515507)
Incidentally, today I saw this video of Steve giving a speech in 1999, published just a week ago. I hadn't seen it before and wouldn't be commenting weren't it for the video.

You may, and probably will, call me a fanboy or argue that reminiscing the good old times when Apple had 4 products are long gone and we live in a different world now. That is true, we live in a different world and focusing on 4 products wouldn't suffice for Apple to survive.

And now again, you may, and probably will, think that I'm burying my head in sand and ignoring many aspects a business needs to consider in order to survive, just to focus on the ones I like or am nostalgic about.

But there is something very special in this simplicity communicated by Steve in the speech. There is something that makes me want to buy a product when I see clearly what it is I'm buying.

On the other hand, there is something very repulsive when I read phrases like: seamless, streamline, gain valuable insights, build trust, in a product announcement.

Don't get me wrong, I am indifferent about Apple Business, probably won't use it and it won't harm me either. My observation is just a coincidence having heard the speech and having read the announcement here. Link to video: https://youtu.be/EoM2Y2KO6kU?si=0DybhDUiqKsWG_Nz

Good luck trying to control companies and their products with laws, rather than with demand. If consumers are really unsatisfied with iMessage, iPhone or any other intelligent product, they will stop buying it. If the government has to tell you wwhat to buy and what not to buy, you were screwed before you even thought of buying it.
