The Talk Show Live From WWDC: Tonight, In-Person and Streaming

ti.to/daringfireball/the-talk-show-live-from-wwdc-2026

If you can make it in person, you should come. The California Theater is a beautiful big theater and tickets are still available.

You can also watch tonight’s show in live stereoscopic immersive in the Theater app from Sandwich Vision on Vision Pro. A purchase of the ticket to the live show, the Theater app for $12.99, is also good for replay forever — with surprise bonus features included. It’s a fun, truly immersive way to experience the show.

Hope to see you there tonight, one way or the other.

Finished reading: Don’t Call It Art 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again by Austin Kleon. Just a terrific book, I think Austin’s best — and exactly what I need right now as I contemplate a big change in my life a year down the road. This will be my guidebook, or rather my anti-guidebook, since if there’s one lesson everyone should learn from this book it’s how sad it is to know where you’re going. 📚

Apple’s WWDC AI Demos Were Real and in Real Time

techcrunch.com/2026/06/08/apples-wwdc-ai-demos-looked-more-real-after-250m-false-ad-settlement/

Julie Bort, TechCrunch: But the most telling detail wasn’t what Apple announced. It was how it chose to show some things off. Many of the Apple Intelligence demoes featured someone standing, phone in hand, pressing buttons or using voice commands in real time, while anot...

A comment to a friend who roots for the Spurs. Ok you guys won one. I think last night they wanted it more than the Knicks. The Spurs knew they were going to be discombobulated, but the Knicks probably didn't expect the atomosphere to be so unusual? I was 100 miles away and could feel how much everything had changed. Whatever happens, in KnicksLand 2026 will mark a major change in the story, forever.

Maybe the cure for Meta glasses is that they be required by law to emit a signal that can be picked up by an app on a phone and can start ringing loudly when you're in range of one of these monsters, and the rate picks up when they look at you. You can point your phone at them and broadcast their image to a special website where their identities are collected and shared along with their location?

My Claude today pulled a Hal. It was so egregious. It made a change to the software based on a question I asked. It invented a whole set of instructions from me that I never gave it. And then it broke Rule #1 -- don't tell Dave what to do -- he is the driver. It is so import...

You know how job interviews for programmers include realtime problem-solving. Sometimes Claude is so dumb it could never pass one of those tests. Up till this point I would have been surprised to hear that.

[Sponsor] WorkOS Launches auth.md — an Open Protocol for Agent Registration

youtu.be/Dqp_b8GHLXU?t=1074

Sign-up forms were built for humans in browsers, so how do AI agents programmatically register with services?

Enter auth.md. By exposing a single, machine-readable Markdown file at your service root, AI agents can dynamically discover your OAuth Protected Resource Metadata, parse required scopes, and authenticate seamlessly.

With native support in WorkOS AuthKit, you can now implement this protocol out of the box, giving AI tools a standardized, secure way to log into your application.

Read the auth.md docs.

Alberta Separatism and Monetized ‘Content’ on Social Media

Eric Szeto, Jordan Pearson, and Christian Paas-Lang, CBC News: You might think, based on the volume of her Facebook posts, that Nieta Aqila is an Albertan who supports separation. “I signed the Alberta independence petition” because “Canada is not a great country anymore,” an account in her name wrote in a popular Facebook group called […]⌥ Permalink

Small OS27 Details From WWDC

Today’s live stream was a little over an hour long — the shortest presentation since 2005 — but, if this big list of refinements captured by Jonathan Reed, of MacStories, is representative of what will be shipping in September, I am not disappointed. Some choice bullet points, in no particular order: Uniform toolbars [iOS] Lock […]⌥ Permalink
