A lot of these new AI found bugs are proving to be nothing burgers. Just a waste of money to try and hype the latest models.

They're either in old code not actually used anymore or miss a system interaction that fixes the supposed bug or just straight up are wrong.

LLMs are shit

    Yeah, macOS, like most UNIX/BSD and Linux systems (even NT systems), use BSD‘s rather ancient TCP/IP stack. And, like most systems, have found their own unique ways around whatever bugs once existed (or still exist) in that stack.

    This case uses iMessage as an example, and it would be kind of foolish not to think that between the TCP/IP stack and macOS‘s internal messaging system there isn’t some kind of time reset handler before it gets handed off to iMessage.
