Episode notes
Rest Is History Recommendations
- The "Rest Is History" podcast, while excellent, has a website primarily for its club version and lacks easy episode links.
- Mike Hurley and Jason Snell recommend starting episodes like "America in 68," "The Assassination of JFK," "The Murder of Franz Ferdinand," and "Britain in 1974."
BBC vs. Apple Intelligence
- The BBC has reported more inaccuracies with Apple Intelligence summaries, including false claims about a darts match and Rafael Nadal's sexuality.
- This follows a previous complaint by the BBC, where Apple Intelligence misrepresented news headlines.
Opting Out of Summaries
- Apple might offer developers an option to opt out of AI summaries to address the inaccuracies and criticisms.
- This would allow news organizations to control their content within the summaries.
