I haven't seen the details but apparently Apple may not be paying OpenAI for the ChatGPT functionality. So macOS may not be using ChatGPT heavily.

Shirley Manson or GTFO. But I don't think they'd like her.

I hate 'edge' in its new form as pseudotechnical marketing guff. Frex, "AI-driven MCU market surge sparks innovation in global and Chinese firms for edge AI"

I'm fairly sure some parts of Australia are still pretty Victorian. Editorial pages, much of the parliament thingy, etc.

I think it's not so much his Malaysian-ness, but more of a "you don't even go to this school" thing. I don't think he has ever been to the US, but he certainly doesn't seem to mention that he's in Malaysia, ever, and posts old pictures of the US and says "things were better back then".

Supposedly he started out online posting Nazi-type stuff (https://i.imgur.com/zYHeFOP.jpeg not sure if legit) then went to a kind of anti-gamer gate wokeish persona, then went right wing again. In that jpeg there are some (alleged) statements by him about being Chinese but not Asian because Asians are "mongrels".

It's kind of a shame that Linens 'n Things wasn't still around for contrarians to "support". It could have been a meme stock lunatic battle royale.

That seems like an inefficient use of space if the ceiling is anything more than six feet high. If they're ten foot ceilings, then the shelves are spaced about 20 inches apart, which is rather larger than typical books. No wonder there are multiple layers on some shelves and books overflowing onto other surfaces.
