macOS 14 "Sonoma"

I think I will like this very much:
- "Profiles" in Safari -- as if each "profile" is a different user, each with its own set of bookmarks, history, cookies, etc. Instead of switching to a different browser to make yourself look like a different user, just switch to a different "profile."
I think I will like this:
- Video conferencing new feature -- allows you to overlay video of yourself over your shared screen; presumably this will allow your to present your stuff like the TV meteorologist, you can wave and gesture and point at stuff shown in your shared screen like the TV meteorologist gesture at the background graphics.
I am concerned about this:
- Sensitive Content Warning -- support for Messages and 3rd party applications to warn you about "sensitive contents" and asking if you want to proceed before showing you the content. This means the OS is reading and making judgement about your content. You can bet AI is heavily involved. With this general capability in place, it's a much shorter step to making it possible for 3rd parties to command the OS to scan your content and report "sensitive content." The risk to privacy is immense.

Seems interesting. I know right now that I am probably only use about 50% of the abilities of the current OS.
