Apple Intelligence is 'a boomer dad'

More from the article...

... One user on Reddit posted to the IOSBeta community on Reddit that Apple Intelligence added a phishing email to the user's priority list.

The post is captioned, "Apple marking a phishing email as priority' for me to open." The email was supposedly sent from Xfinity.com, an American telecommunications company that provides internet, mobile plans, and cable TV services.

Some of the Reddit comments under the post demonstrate users' feelings surrounding Apple Intelligence in beta.

One user said, "Apple Intelligence is a boomer dad," while another user exclaimed, "A prince from Nigeria needs your help with a frozen bank account," imitating the scammers and making light of the situation.

The email preview shows an urgent message saying that the user's account will be suspended due to billing issues unless the user updates their payment information.

Similarly, on the decentralized social media network Panic.com, one user who is the co-founder of the social media site, Cabel Sasser, claimed to be experiencing the same problem.

"Apple Intelligence in 15.1 just flagged a phishing email as "Priority" and moved it to the top of my Inbox. This seems ... bad." ...

Is there a universal limit to technological development? Evidences from astrobiology

... Abstract

Considering the vastness of time and space, if one civilization " ours " has been able to advance technologically to the point of leaving its own planet, why technosignatures from other advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have never been identified? In this paper, I offer an explanation for that, developing an insight originally presented by Webb and others and using insights from astrobiology, sustainability and archaeology.

I argue that there exists a universal limit to technological development (ULTD), determined by decreasing technological returns on societal complexity, increasing maintenance costs of existing technology, the eventual untestability of scientific theories due to the high costs involved and the unattainable energy levels needed to test them and civilization-damaging catastrophes. I also argue, based on the principle of mediocrity, that the ULTD is not much above our current level of technological development.

Technology, therefore, will not be able to provide another home to humankind. Such a possibility should be taken into consideration during the decision-making process concerning both the allocation of resources to research or mitigation of technology-induced planetary changes and the definition of goals to space exploration. ...
