Sudden decision? This looks completely in-line with what Apple has been doing since the launch of the iPhone.
I find the article most charitable to the idea that AI generated software is a different category than human generated software. It's merely a dev tool.
Not AI generated software -- DYNAMICALLY generated software, like at run time and ongoing. Even in-app directed by the user. This is not a thing that existed before, a degree of customizability well beyond letting the user pick a color scheme or from one of a few layouts or default start screens.
I don't know how good of an idea it would be, product-wise, to give programming level flexibility. I am reminded of greasemonkey scripts, but written in english maybe. Maybe it could be awesome. But Apple is saying "nope. Not interested in exploring this with you. BYE"
Thank god there is at least one major platform preventing applications from doing this. I get in a perfect world this would be great, but we live in a world where we use apps built by corporations which do not have the user's interests at heart and their apps that we begrudgingly use are treated as practically antagonistic.

They don't allow general purpose software interpreters on their platform for the purpose of distributing apps. This is not new. AI adds nothing meaningful here.
But he already did this. With a bonus of it will continue to work in the future if something breaks or changes. Human time is more precious than computing resources nowadays.

I am a Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience and a heavy lean into DevOps. I enjoy building applications end-to-end—from the front-end components down to the server infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
Currently, I am developing the Ethereum File System (EFS), an open-source project where I wear both hats:
As a Developer: I architected a decentralized application using EAS, Solidity, TypeScript and Web Components, solving complex state management issues in a resource constrained environment.
As an Ops Engineer: I help run the underlying Ethereum network, using Prometheus and Grafana for observability and practicing chaos engineering to ensure node reliability.
Previously, I spent a decade at Epic Systems working on enterprise healthcare software. My work there involved modernizing legacy web platforms (C#/.NET) and managing large-scale server integrations, ensuring federated code worked reliably across varied and rigid enterprise environments.
I’m looking for a role where I can be useful across the stack, whether that means shipping features, improving build tools, or stabilizing infrastructure.
You do not need to report a $0 capital gain when using stablecoins. Sure crypto can seem like the wild West with CPAs having different opinions on what little official guidance is out there but that one is simply absurd.
>being able to just show up in a country, download an app
This seems like a "draw the rest of the owl" situation. If I arrive in a new country with no phone data (which is why I need a sim in the first place) then how do I download an app? Being able to walk up to a guy at the airport and within seconds slide in a SIM solves that data problem.
not all airports have that. and even when they do I have had to fight to stay online or get online requiring entering email and clicking the link in the email before being granted online access.
As the other comment said it's either airport wifi, prep beforehand, roaming data (if absolutely necessary), or (last resort) you go to a physical phone store usually in an airport and they will set it up for you.
I can download T-Mobile eSIM from Australia - Pay them $15, know what my +1 USA number will be, all before leaving the country. You just can't do this with classical sims.
Testing the theory of whether psychedelics are just inside our heads or whether our consciousness travels somewhere objectively really is why this Tales From The Trip video is my favorite videos. Both men see the same blue woman which is very interesting!

all that needs to happen is for countries to destroy their nuclear weapons
all that needs to happen is for governments to stop burning fossil fuels
all that needs to happen is for researchers to publish boring papers replicating others results
all that needs to happen is for fishermen to stop overfishing
Coordination problems seem easy but never really are. The chance of all the miners just suddenly agreeing to do something all at once is pretty low to impossible.
The point of a hypothetical suggestion is to direct a specific course of action. I am simultaneously amazed at how complex the 'hypothetical' construct is, and also how many people aren't able to reason around them... since this is basically what our big brains are for.
If you assume everybody involved just stops responding to their current incentives, you can solve any coordination problem, in a manner of speaking. But it's useless as a battle plan. Operationalizing a change demands that you pick a party you're talking to, and with full view of their capabilities and limitations, modify their current course of action in the smallest possible way that accomplishes a change.
