Como ser minimalista a usar IA na Internet

A inteligência artificial está em todo o lado, mas há formas de escapar à invasão e assumir o controlo dela, antes que ela o controle a si… A inteligência artificial está a ser integrada em quase todos os serviços digitais, muitas vezes sem que os utilizadores a tenham sequer pedido ou notado que ela lá está. Desativá-la nem sempre é fácil, mas há maneiras de recuperar algum controlo sobre os dispositivos e proteger os dados pessoais. Segundo um inquérito da Gallup e do Special Competitive Studies Project, há mais do dobro dos norte-americanos que desconfiam da IA do que aqueles

  • Apple's new iPhone Duo is inspiring viral internet memes.
  • Social media is buzzing about cracked screens and doomscrolling potential.
  • Here are some of the most creative memes about Apple's latest creation.

Apple's long-awaited iPhone Duo is here, and while a folding phone is nothing new, it's the company's first, and it has a waitlist a mile long.

However, Apple diehards with Duo already in hand are reporting issues with the folding screen, and some have posted about their buyer's remorse online.

The cracking screen

Early owners have reported cracks along the Duo's center fold, sometimes accompanied by a bright line of stuck pixels across one side of the inner display. Apple said the issue affects a "small number" of units and directed affected customers to AppleCare for replacements.

The reports have also generated crack-themed jokes and wallpapers online — though some widely shared images of damaged Duo screens have been altered or AI-generated.

One X account made a wallpaper for those who could not afford the Duo but would like to experience the crack.

In a statement to Business Insider, Apple said that the response to iPhone Duo from early users has been "incredibly positive."

"If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement," Apple said.

The crypto memes

The crypto world made a connection to the iPhone Duo when the official Crypto.com account posted earlier in October about how the folding phone would be perfect for traders.

The association soon became memes playing on the stereotype that crypto traders are delusional and unemployed.

The multi-screen design

Many believe that the iPhone Duo's multi-screen design will be hazardous to our already short attention span by allowing multiple activities at once.

While the Duo's 7.6-inch inner display supports two apps side by side, its 5.4-inch outer display can be used when the phone is closed.

That setup has also prompted jokes about what is known as a "performative male," referring to men publicly pretending to enjoy certain niche genres of books and music in order to attract women.

Another post, more of a real video than a meme, demonstrated the iPhone Duo's potential to exacerbate doomscrolling.

For anyone worried that one screen wasn't enough for your nightly scroll, Apple has a $1,999 solution.
