Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Calvin #1: OpenAI's Python SDK has migrated to HTTPX2 The OpenAI Python SDK has migrated to HTTPX2, the Pydantic-stewarded fork of httpx. Pydantic picked it up citing "limited activity recently" in the original project, promising "a reliably maintained path forward." If you just use the default client, nothing to do. No code changes. The catch is TLS. Quoting the guide: HTTPX "previously verified certificates against the CA bundle provided by certifi. HTTPX2 instead uses the operating-system trust store, and the SDK no longer installs certifi." That "can break certificate verification in minimal container images without system CA certificates, environments using corporate TLS-inspecting proxies, and deployments that relied on a custom or modified certifi bundle." The fix is SSL_CERT_FILE or SSL_CERT_DIR, or pass your own ssl.SSLContext via verify. Deeper integrations need real edits: custom clients, auth handlers, hooks, and request mocking all take HTTPX2 objects now, and plain httpx is no longer pulled in transitively. So import httpx in your own code means declaring it yourself or moving over. Temporary escape hatch: a legacy HTTPX client Michael #2: TMOG - Native Task Manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux A native, deeply instrumented system monitor for macOS, Windows, and Linux, now in public beta - from Plummers' Software, i.e. Dave Plummer, who wrote the original Windows Task Manager and donated it to Microsoft in 1995. Wikipedia Three real native apps: Swift/AppKit on macOS, Win32 on Windows, C++/Qt 6 on Linux, with a shared C++ core keeping metric semantics aligned - no browser shell anywhere. One dense summary: CPU, clocks, thermals, GPU, memory, storage, network, energy, and the processes responsible for the load, all click-through. Per-core honesty: logical processor and NUMA views, P and E cores color-coded, optional kernel time, 60 FPS live meters. Memory with context: pressure, wired, compressed, cached, committed, available, and swap, plus configurable scrolling history. Processes that act like processes: tree view, filtering, sorting, follow mode, and native verbs including service and launchd control. Phosphor themes: light, dark, green, amber, blue, or mono, with color and saturation you tune yourself. Calvin #3: wrapture - one wrapper for mocking, tracing, and observability Graham Dumpleton, author of wrapt and the original New Relic Python agent, has released wrapture. The name is wrapt plus capture. The core idea: wrap real code instead of replacing it, so the real code still runs while you watch every call. Name a method with wrapture.binding(Class, "method"), open a timeline(), and you get a tape of what actually happened. Real return values, real nesting, arguments normalised against real signatures. tape.tree() prints the call graph as it ran. One mechanism, three jobs: monkey patching with a real lifecycle (apply, remove, suspend, plus returns, raises, transforms_args), unit testing that asserts on real call flow instead of a flat MagicMock call list, and ad-hoc tracing of a running app. The testing pitch is error paths. Inject TimeoutError at the payment gateway, then assert the ledger was never written. Stubs and mocks are strict and spec-required, and there is deliberately no bare Mock(). Tracing needs no code at all. A wrapture.toml naming targets and a sink, run with python -m wrapture main.py, and you get a live call tree with timings. It captures ordinary logging calls as nested events, and with the otel extra it exports spans, metrics and correlated logs with W3C trace ids that join across services. Every line of code and docs was AI-written under their direction, and they say so up front. Two weeks from first commit, eleventh alpha, over 1000 tests, 150+ pages of docs. Alpha on PyPI, needs Python 3.12+ and wrapt 2.4.0+. Michael #4: linkedin2md: turn your LinkedIn export into 40+ Markdown files Via Juan Manuel Daza - a Python CLI that unpacks LinkedIn's data-export ZIP into clean, per-category Markdown you can drop straight into an LLM. One command: linkedin2md Complete_LinkedInDataExport.zip, plus o for output dir, -lang en|es, and -pdf. 40+ output files: profile, experience, education, skills, connections, posts, comments, reactions, recommendations, endorsements, job applications, even ad targeting and LinkedIn's inferences about you. Built for LLM analysis: the README pitches NotebookLM, Claude Projects, Obsidian, and Ollama, with example prompts like "what patterns do you see in my career transitions?" PDF resume mode: -pdf renders an A4 CV via weasyprint, and degrades gracefully to Markdown-only if it isn't installed. Dependency note: "pure Python / zero-dep" holds for the Markdown path only - the PDF path needs weasyprint and markdown installed. Install: pipx install linkedin2md recommended, pip in a venv otherwise - 86% Python, 10 releases, v0.3.1 in May. Agentic dev angle: repo ships opencode config and an N3RV subagent pipeline, including a "judgment day" dual-model adversarial PR review.

    Resetting AirTags, Beta Bugs, and Vibe-Coded Mac Health Checks The hosts discuss how to reset an Apple AirTag by inserting and removing the battery five times until a different sound plays, noting newer AirTags may require pressing down. They share issues seen on iOS 27 and macOS betas, including missing app icons in search, slow contact searching, Contacts app odd behavior, Apple Configurator on iPhone failing to enroll devices until using a non-beta phone, and a Control Center white-noise toggle bug requiring reboots. They debate installing macOS 27 "Golden Gate" on production machines, restarting habits, and workflow clutter from Safari tabs, Finder windows, and messy desktops, with Sam recommending an analog black glass dry-erase desktop board. They also note a Safari private browsing/profile issue showing history and Microsoft 365 credential problems. Jerry describes using Claude to "vibe code" an unsigned "MacWorks Health Check" app that collects Mac discovery info and uploads reports to Dropbox via API keys to replace a costly subscription tool. 00:00 Show Kickoff and Setup 00:26 Resetting an AirTag 02:33 iOS Beta Bugs and Contacts Glitches 04:20 Configurator Beta Breakage 07:41 White Noise and Beta Quirks 08:33 Should You Install macOS Betas 13:53 Restarting and Workflow Friction 15:06 Tabs Desktops and Finder Chaos 21:37 Analog To Do Board and Vig Talk 23:19 Vigorish Explained 23:45 Desktop Whiteboard Find 25:12 Madden Movie Tangent 25:55 Safari Private Mode Bug 29:53 Analog Workflow Systems 33:14 Notion For Solo Work 36:26 Vibe Coded Health Check 41:19 Sizing Storage Needs 50:55 Tool Ideas And Wrap

    Adam Engst looks back at HyperCard as an early tool that democratized software creation, then connects its legacy to today's AI-assisted development. He outlines how Claude helped turn an idea for tracking macOS setting changes into a working Mac app, SetShot. Adam discusses Xcode, GitHub, rapid iteration, and the value of visual feedback in his development process, and how AI lowers programming barriers without eliminating the need for thought, judgment, and effort.

    Adam Engst looks back at HyperCard as an early tool that democratized software creation, then connects its legacy to today's AI-assisted development. He outlines how Claude helped turn an idea for tracking macOS setting changes into a working Mac app, SetShot. Adam discusses Xcode, GitHub, rapid iteration, and the value of visual feedback in his development process, and how AI lowers programming barriers without eliminating the need for thought, judgment, and effort.  This edition of MacVoices is supported by MacVoices After Dark.

Engst is the publisher of TidBITS, one of the oldest and most respected Internet-based newsletters, distributed weekly to tens of thousands of readers. He has written numerous technical books, including the best-selling Internet Starter Kit series, and many magazine articles—thanks to Contributing Editor positions at MacUser, MacWEEK, and Macworld. His innovations include the creation of the first advertising program to support an Internet publication in 1992, the first flat-rate accounts for graphical Internet access in 1993 (with Northwest Nexus for Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh), and the highly successful Take Control electronic book series. In addition, he has collaborated on several educational videos on the Internet and has appeared on various internationally broadcast television and radio programs. His tireless support of the Macintosh community and commitment to helping individuals have resulted in numerous awards and recognition at the highest levels. In the annual MDJ Power 25 survey of industry insiders, he ranked as the second (2000), third (2001, 2002), fourth (2003), fifth (2004), and third (2005/2006) most influential person in the Macintosh industry. He has also been included on the MacTech 25 list of influential people in the Macintosh technical community for 2006 and 2007, and he was named one of MacDirectory's top ten visionaries.

    Welcome to this week's episode of the PEBCAK Podcast!  We've got four amazing stories this week so sit back, relax, and keep being awesome!  Be sure to stick around for our Dad Joke of the Week. (DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast   Please share this podcast with someone you know!  It helps us grow the podcast and we really appreciate it!   Simple 6 signup link https://simple6.co/r/CFUR98   Meta buys its way out of the teen engagement lawsuit and writes the curfew into the settlement. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/meta-agrees-to-18-billion-settlement-over-teen-social-media-harms/ Meta settled with 52 attorneys general for ~$18B over claims Facebook and Instagram were built to drive compulsive teen use, resolving a 2023 suit led by California AG Rob Bonta that also alleged illegal under-13 data collection under COPPA. The product terms are the real story: a default two-hour daily cap for under-18s that only a parent can lift, a midnight–6am blackout, notifications muted 10pm–7am and during school hours, hidden like counts, no cosmetic surgery filters, and expanded age verification to find under-18s and purge under-13s — locked in for ten years under an independent auditor. Only $12.7B goes to states now. The other $5.3B is held back until YouTube and TikTok adopt matching one-hour limits, nighttime restrictions and age assurance, and each makes a matching payment — at which point Meta's own cap drops to one hour. Meta openly framed this as driving industry-wide adoption. Read that again: Meta just put a $5.3B bounty on its competitors adopting mandatory age verification, and everyone's calling it a punishment. Meta books ~$10B in Q3 legal expenses; California takes $1.5–2.1B.   A watermark-removal industry sprang up overnight for a watermark nobody can detect. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ai-watermark-removers-flood-the-web-almost-none-can-prove-they-work/ Days after Anthropic switched on invisible watermarking in everything Claude writes, a removal market appeared: a 4,500-star GitHub project, freshly registered domains like claudewatermark[.]rip and gptcleanup.com, and existing Turnitin-bypass shops (StealthGPT, Human Writes) bolting Claude onto their pitch. None of it is verifiable; Anthropic hasn't published the scheme or shipped a detector. The technical punchline: stripping zero-width characters and C2PA/EXIF metadata works, but it's trivial, since file metadata dies on a re-save or a screenshot. The real mark lives in which words the model picked, so the only known removal is a heavy rewrite through a second model. Guillaume Meyer, who wrote the biggest tool, says so himself, metadata only, for now. Tester Pasquale Pillitteri read the code instead of the READMEs and found one popular cleaner passed a hidden payload through intact. Driver is EU AI Act Article 50, enforceable since Aug 2, penalties to €15M or 3% of global turnover. And a detected mark only proves Claude touched the text, not that it wrote it. Defender angle: these ship as agent skills people wire into pipelines and feed documents through. That's a supply chain surface.   Chrome finally kills the infostealer's favorite trick: the stolen cookie that walks past your MFA. https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/08/chrome-adopts-what-may-be-the-best-protection-yet-against-account-takeovers/ Chrome shipped device-bound session credentials, storing a key in the device's security chip: TPM on Windows, Secure Enclave on macOS and iOS and cryptographically binding session cookies to that hardware. A stolen cookie can't be replayed on the attacker's box to walk past MFA, because the private key never leaves the chip. This is the fix for the failure mode we keep covering: as users adopted 2FA and passkeys, infostealers stopped fighting the login and started lifting the post-auth session instead. Announced in 2024, beta in April, GA for Workspace on Chrome for Windows from May 25, on by default with no admin config, and binding events are visible in Admin console audit logs. Honest caveat: it kills one very popular path, not every takeover, and only where the server side implements it.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Glenn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennmedina/ Victor - https://www.linkedin.com/in/victordeluca/

The release puts visionOS 27 deeper into its stabilization phase ahead of Apple's fall software releases. Apple Developer: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes MacRumors: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/24/apple-seeds-visionos-27-beta-7/ Apple is getting ready for its first live **Friday Night Baseball in Apple Immersive** on Vision Pro. The first game is **Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees on Friday, August 28 at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT**. Unlike simply watching a traditional broadcast on a giant virtual screen, Apple says the production uses **3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view**, cameras positioned around the dugouts and outfield wall, Spatial Audio, immersive replays, and floating lineups and statistics. Four Apple Immersive games are currently scheduled: * August 28 — Red Sox at Yankees * September 4 — Angels at Pirates * September 11 — Padres at Giants * September 18 — Giants at Dodgers Live viewing requires an Apple TV subscription and either the **M2 or M5 Apple Vision Pro**. Beta this week.  Here's a streamlined Beta this week replacement for the Episode 439 show notes. I've kept macOS and visionOS out of this section per your placement rules and paired MacRumors announcement coverage with Apple Developer release information wherever available. 2. Beta this week Apple released another round of betas on August 24 as testing moves closer to the fall releases. iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 Beta 7 Apple released iOS 27 developer beta 7 and iPadOS 27 developer beta 7, both build 24A5424a. Apple also released public beta 5 of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 later the same day. No major new features were identified in this round, suggesting Apple is increasingly focused on stability and bug fixes.

    208: Apple's Surprisingly HUGE Week of Announcements

    The MacRumors Show

    It's been an unusually big week for Apple announcements. On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the new Mac mini and Mac Studio, the M6 and M5 Ultra chips, and invites to Apple's September event. Apple confirmed on Wednesday that its annual iPhone event will take place on Wednesday 9 September at Apple Park, starting at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with select members of the media invited to attend. The event's tagline is "Surprise and Shine." Apple is expected to introduce at least six new products, including the the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, iPhone 18 Pro, ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, and the first foldable iPhone. Pre-orders should follow shortly after, and release dates for iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate should also be revealed at the event.Apple announced the new Mac mini on Tuesday, offering M6 and M5 Pro chip options. The machine gains an N1 networking chip, bringing Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and moves to 2.5Gb Ethernet as standard, up from 1Gb, with a 10Gb option. Thunderbolt 5 is restricted to the M5 Pro model, which gets three Thunderbolt 5 ports while the M6 model keeps Thunderbolt 4. Genlock supportover USB-C is also new, syncing a display's refresh timing to a camera such as the iPhone 17 Pro. Pricing starts at $899 with 16GB and 256GB, rising to $1,699 for the M5 Pro at 24GB and 512GB. Pre-orders are now open, with launch on 22 September. M6 is Apple's first 2nm chip. Its 12-core CPU is split into 2 super cores, 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, making it the first Apple chip to combine all three core types in one design. Super cores are Apple's top tier, optimised for single-threaded speed. The 12-core GPU features a Neural Accelerator in each core for the first time in a ‌Mac mini‌. The GPU also adds an updated shader architecture, Dynamic Caching, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing, while an all-new Dual 16-core Neural Engine doubles peak compute over the previous generation, with system frameworks able to drive both engines at once. Memory starts at 16GB and tops out at 32GB, running at up to 170GB/s. M5 Pro scales further, to an 18-core CPU, a 20-core GPU and up to 64GB at 307GB/s.The new Mac Studio arrived alongside the ‌Mac mini‌, with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chip options. The M5 Max offers an 18-core CPU with 6 super cores and 12 performance cores, an up-to-40-core GPU with Neural Accelerators in every core, and up to 128GB of memory at 614GB/s, with the GPU running up to 50% faster than the previous generation. Both configurations move to a next-generation SSD architecture on PCIe Gen 6 for up to twice the storage performance, and gain up to six Thunderbolt 5 ports at 120Gb/s, and the same genlock support as the ‌Mac mini‌. Apple's N1 chip also brings Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 to the ‌Mac Studio‌. Pricing starts at $2,499 for the M5 Max at 36GB and 512GB, and $5,499 for the M5 Ultra at 96GB and 1TB, with the 512GB memory option not arriving until late October.M5 Ultra is Apple's first quad-die chip, using a next-generation version of UltraFusion to join two dual-die M5 Max chips into a single processor. The result is a CPU with up to 36 cores, and 12 super and 24 performance, delivering 1.25x the single-threaded and 1.3x the multithreaded performance of the M3 Ultra. Its up-to-80-core GPU is the most powerful Apple silicon GPU ever made and the first on an Ultra chip to feature Neural Accelerators. Second-generation Dynamic Caching, hardware-accelerated mesh shading and third-generation ray tracing lift graphics up to 40% over M3 Ultra, and the chip features a 32-core Neural Engine. Memory reaches 512GB at 1.2TB/s, which is a 50% bandwidth increase.Other announcements this week included a new, softer Apple Polishing Cloth at $9, down from $19, and refreshed U.S. Magic Keyboards for the Mac, now featuring glyphs instead of edge text. Apple Support's 1-800-APL-CARE line is also now answered by a generative AI assistant in the U.S. and Canada.Ready to tackle bigger problems?

    Guests: Jasika Bawa, Group Product Manager, Chrome Security Doug Turner, Engineering Director, Chrome Security Topics: Gemini agent harness found a sandbox escape that survived in the codebase for 13 years! How did that happen and how did that bug get noticed among what's surely a tidal wave of bugs being found by the machines? Chrome 149 and 150 fixed over a thousand security bugs—surpassing the last 23 milestones combined. That is a massive spike! The blog explains it's possible by having 'fixing agents' and 'critic agents' working in a loop that mimics human code reviews. I have to ask: how much of this is real, high-quality engineering, and how much of it is just two robots agreeing to grade each other on a curve? Historically, pushing updates was a monumental, scheduled event. Now, you're piloting two security releases a week to combat fast-moving attacks. That sounds like a direct route to developer burnout, and a complete nightmare for enterprise IT admins who just want their systems to stay stable. How are we balancing the need to protect users from N-day exploits versus making everyone play security whack-a-mole? I want to learn more about this long-term vision so let's address the elephant in the browser: nobody wants to restart Chrome. Personally, I have about 50 tabs open right now, and restarting feels like risking throwing my short-term memory into a woodchipper. You're talking about 'dynamic patching' that replaces background child processes on the fly without a restart, and you've rolled out a 'zero window auto-restart' on macOS. First off, are my tabs safe? Second, is dynamic patching actually going to work seamlessly, or is it just going to crash my Renderer mid-session and blame it on the GPU? If this is real, it's really amazing.  Tell us about the "spannification" effort and the migration to Rust. There's two parallel technical safety efforts going on to–as we like to say at Google–eliminate classes of vulnerabilities. Tell us about the engineering efforts behind the C++ spans and the Rust journey!  Ok I'd be a terrible Allan Friedman disciple if I didn't ask the supply chain question. First, Chrome has over 2,300 third-party dependencies. That's wild. How are we handling that?

L'épisode revient aussi sur le plugin ChatGPT sur macOS, capable d'accéder aux messages SMS, RCS et iMessage avec l'accord de l'utilisateur.Le débat se concentre ensuite sur l'étiquetage des contenus générés par IA, dans le cadre de l'AI Act européen. Sont évoqués les chatbots, avatars, deepfakes, textes générés sans contrôle humain, ainsi que les marquages invisibles chez Google et Anthropic, et les limites pratiques de cette régulation.Un autre axe important concerne l'IA comme changement de structure industrielle : évolution des grands modèles, montée en puissance de Google et d'OpenAI, réorganisation de Demis Hassabis, et nouveaux modèles orientés vers le code, les maths et les agents. Il est aussi question d'Astra, de risques cyber, de coûts de calcul et de recherche mathématique assistée par IA.L'épisode traite également des impacts économiques et techniques : consommation d'énergie des centres de données, hausse des coûts, plafonds de dépenses IA chez Microsoft et d'autres entreprises, montée des tensions autour des data centers, et apparition d'outils comme Kitesurf de Cloudflare pour les agents.Enfin, plusieurs sujets français et grand public sont passés en revue : cyberattaques touchant des services publics et privés, interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans retoquée, progression de Linux, difficultés de Windows 11, hausses de prix des licences OEM, ainsi que les prochains produits Apple, dont un iPhone pliant, de nouveaux accessoires et des évolutions possibles pour la maison connectée.Infos :Animé par Guillaume Vendé (Tech Café, Bluesky)Co-animé par Baptiste Freydt (Niptech, Niptech Inspire)Produit par Patrick Beja (LinkedIn) et Fanny Cohen Moreau (LinkedIn).Musique libre de droit par Daniel BejaLe Rendez-vous Tech épisode 678 – Astra, marquages IA et toujours plus de Linux : le récap de l'été !---Liens :Soutien :

    Send us Fan MailAI is speeding up digital forensics, but speed without control is how good labs get burned. We dig into a safer way to work: use AI-assisted coding to generate a repeatable process, then test it against a real corpus of known extractions so results stay deterministic, verifiable, and defensible. If you've ever felt your LLM results “drift” from run to run, this mindset shift is the difference between a helpful assistant and a hidden liability. We also get practical with what's new across the community: a free macOS timestamp utility, Android intrusion logs (and how to extract and parse them when a user has opted in), and a deep look at Apple Unified Logs and log archives as an underrated iOS forensics goldmine. The big takeaway on logs is interpretation: one scary-looking line is not a conclusion. You have to read the surrounding sequence of events to avoid false narratives, and we talk about how newer workflows can process log archives directly from extractions without requiring a Mac. From there we move into evidence sources that often decide cases: iOS Health database artifacts, LevelDB and IndexedDB for browser forensics, and a standout BitLocker improvement that can auto-unlock secondary encrypted volumes when keys are preserved in a system image. Finally, we walk through reporting at scale with LAVA, the LEAPPs viewer that adds conversation views, analytics, tagging, notes, and LAVA subset exports for massive chats that would otherwise choke HTML reports. If this helped you rethink your workflow or gave you a new artifact to chase, subscribe, share the episode with your lab, and leave a review so more examiners can find it. What tool or artifact do you want us to test next?Notes:Timestamped - https://thebinaryhick.blog/2026/08/16/timestamped/Brett Shavers Blog Posts - http://linkedin.com/pulse/let-ai-run-your-case-make-you-stupid-brett-shavers-vproc/Android Logical Extractor - https://github.com/prosch88/ALEXTim Korver Blog Posts - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-korver/recent-activity/articles/SANS DFIR Summit & Training - https://www.sans.org/cyber-security-training-events/digital-forensics-summit-2026MSAB Digital Summit - https://www.msab.com/msab-mobile-forensics-digital-summit-2027/Cellebrite 101 - https://community.cellebrite.com/s/101HEART Metadata Forensics - https://github.com/MetadataForensics/HEART_by_Metadata_ForensicsArsenal - https://arsenalrecon.com/productsLEAPPs & LAVA - leapps.org

    It's been a while since we checked in on note-taking apps and ways to wrangle their data, and a lot has changed with our personal use cases on that front. Will has gone deep on Notion's relational capabilities and seen how well they can support a shared knowledge base for a team of a couple dozen people. Meanwhile, Brad has done a survey of apps targeted at the individual end user, with the goal of fully owning the data and controlling how and where it's synced. We round up everything we've discovered in this week's episode, with some detours into things like rclone cloud mounts, the amazing utility of the (nearly) universal format conversion tool pandoc, and more.

    Ep 290 macOS Tahoe 26.7 is Full of References to Unreleased Apple Products Steve Troughton-Smith: It seems pretty clear to me, being able to test iPadOS beside macOS, that even with macOS 27 the Liquid Glass UI is never going to look as good as it does on a HDR OLED display. It looks several times glossier and more crisp when I switch my desktop monitor over to HDR (which I never use), and even better still on the iPad's OLED.

    OpenAI has recently introduced a macOS plugin that enables ChatGPT to interact directly with Apple Messages, allowing the AI to read, analyze, and send texts on behalf of users. While this integration offers significant productivity benefits by summarizing long threads and managing cluttered inboxes, it has sparked intense debate regarding digital privacy and the potential for increased spam. Critics express concern that outsourcing personal communication to machines may erode genuine human connection and lead to a future dominated by simulated interactions. The release is further complicated by legal tensions, as Apple previously filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for the alleged theft of trade secrets. Despite these controversies, the feature represents a major step toward AI agents acting as primary intermediaries in our everyday digital lives.
