iOS 13 beta fixes FaceTime eye contact with image manipulation
Spot on thought. And funnily enough, from my Medium Daily Digest this morning! Deepfakes Are Coming. We Can No Longer Believe What We See.MplsP said:“Excuse me, my eyes are up here!”
This would be cool, but it’s also the edge of a brave new world. What Apple is doing is real time computer-controlled video editing. Fixing your eyes on FaceTime is a trivial change, but what about using the technology for more complex and less-than ethical uses? We’re reaching a point where ‘live’ video may not be real, and that gets scary in our current political environment.
(Note - I’m not saying Apple would do this, just making a comment about the technology in general.)

Apple earns $58B in revenue as services hit all-time high of $11.5B
Is it their profit that's down 16% or do you mean their revenue?sirozha said:Apple’s profit is 16% down this quarter when compared with the same quarter last year. However, the stock is up over 4%. I guess Wall Street finally gets Apple the same way it gets Amazon. -

Apple Music eclipses Spotify in paid US subscribers
Legitimate follow up; what % in your social circle using Spotify are using Spotify paid/premium tier? In mine, only one I can think of at the moment (but that’s actually Spotify business for their office space).aaploutsider said:Anything can be spun in a positive light. It's the beauty of marketing and selective narration.
Living in NYC, I don't know any in my social circle that use Apple Music. They all use Spotify. YMMV

Vox reportedly joins Apple news service, other Vox Media properties not available at launc...
Well, you know; since it won't cater to only my POV, because nothing else matters, it must be crap, entirely. Give me my echo chamber!mjtomlin said:trashman69 said:Vox. A leftest rag. I’m hating apples new direction.aar123mcl said:Vox means I'll be saving my money. Fantastic!
Huh? You wouldn't subscribe to Apple News, because they may offer up a "leftist" rag? You do realize there will probably be a lot of other stuff you might like, including a bunch of conservative rags that share your point of view?
Wow. Just, wow.
