Jim Love connects three stories around misplaced trust in technology: a viral clip where ChatGPT voice mode confidently invents a mile time, Sam Altman acknowledges it's a known issue and says fixing it could take a year, and the model later contradicts him by insisting it can track time; Ronald Wayne, Apple's often-forgotten third founder who drafted the partnership agreement and took 10%, now suggests he may not have actually given up ownership despite the long-told story of selling his stake for $800; and journalists testing Google's AI Overviews find errors, with medical examples showing missing context that could mislead users. Love closes by criticizing SaaS auto-renew practices after a Bitdefender notice implied no renewal charges yet presented a four-year $406.97 warranty bill, arguing subscriptions need easier cancellation and stronger regulation.
