> Mythos had identified thousands of previously-unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser, along with a range of other critical software.

I think we can assume that the alphabet agencies already got their hands on this and are working to use it. No more backdoors necessary, they can crack open every computer on earth with this.

Did OS/software vendors get a list of their vulnerabilities? Will they ever?

As for consistency, Apple's latest UI shows they don't give a damn any more.

I'm pretty sure most people didn't notice any kind of inconsistency. I myself have a hard time figuring out what's going on. I'm so focused on doing the work with the computer that I don't have the time to notice what's "wrong" with the OS. Which makes me wonder if the whole thing is blown out of proportion.

If AI coding does go anywhere and stays affordable, this would be a great outcome.

I think AI needs to greatly accelerate open hardware design and make advanced manufacturing more accessible to really make a dent.

User facing software is not the limiting factor in AI assisted replacement of Apple products.
