OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects.

I wonder how much apple pays cnet for this small but huge advertisement video talks?! nearly every streaming music company has this so called listen others playlists, but because it is apple we swore under oath that we should make a huge deal on every small garbage that apple does! and to your question, NO… I’m not a Android fanboy

Been using this feature lately so glad awareness is increasing. Also – can’t find your @ when I search – do you have it set to private?

No wow I’m set to “everyone” under settings for who can follow your activity. Come on, Apple! ????

@Bridget Carey Thanks, I will try again later. I am sure it will show up at some point. ????

Sadly I don’t use Apple Music’s services, I use the other one that starts with an S and rhymes with Multiply. BridgetsWidgets is an amazing username and as cool as LynyrdSkynrd!

Apple doesn’t want to get labelled as social media because it always has focused on privacy, but it has so much built in social media features natively to its ios. It would be interesting if they incorporated shared photo albums with the music profile.

Apple Music quality is unbeatable, however Spotify has a better algorithm for recommendations and also allows me to dislike an artist. Now just wish I could dislike playlists which Apple try and force me to listen to every time I open the app…

iTunes Ping was good you could follow artists you like and send them a short message. Apple Music Connect gave artists a little freedom to post music videos etc.

Check out her review of the Grimlock Transformer that aired a few days ago. She is so adorable; the way her eyes ???? light up as Grimlock is transforming! So expressive and definitely gives off the right “I’m a proud geek – just like you!” vibes. ????
You could say she is …,

Because you have to use iPhone /Android to use Apple Music – Google should have done this on YouTube with Google+ back in the day.
When it comes to socials Web is where it at, the app comes second.

I really love Apple Music. I had no idea there was a very basic social network in it. I’d love to follow you Bridget and see what music you enjoy, but apparently I can only connect with people in my contacts list. Very frustrating. Why do things half way here, Apple?

They also have a social network in Game Center. And in iMessage. And they could easily build one out of Contacts. But they never put it all together for some reason.
