  • Stormy servers -- Apple Weather suffered an intermittent outage

    I find the weather app to be quite accurate and reliable for multiple locations.

  • iOS 18 Mail app will get huge AI enhancements & summarizations with 'Project Blackpearl'

    I think what we’re seeing with the AI “revolution“ is how different segments of the population deal with information and their lives.

    Apple users have typically been intelligent and capable people. Such people don’t want a machine managing their email – and making mistakes. Such people don’t need help summarizing large amount of information and understanding it. Such people don’t need help “making their email sound more professional “.

    Sadly, there are huge numbers of people who do need this sort of assistance. I think this is partly what’s driving the AI mania.

    I think Apple will implement some truly useful features using AI. Some of these AI features will be things that everybody, even traditional Apple customers, will find helpful. Also, Apple will be forced to include the fluffy, mass market AI features that the likes of Google and Microsoft make their main product.

  • Apple fires back at DOJ antitrust case, calls for immediate dismissal

    The case is a ridiculous waste of DOJ’s resources. It’s also an insult to what could be the most ethical and socially responsible major company in history.

    It’s not “the Ukraine” just like you don’t say “the America” or “the Canada”. It’s just “Ukraine”. Please fix.  Especially now with russia still bombing it and killing citizens daily, Ukraine needs us to recognize it properly. 
    Fully agree. Important to rectify.

    THIS is the sort of AI enhancement that is actually meaningful. 
    I have no use for hallucinating LLMs handling my e-mail or writing error-laden book reports. 
    I have no use for gimmicks. 
    Thank you, Apple for making something that improves my life.
    What are you talking about? I use ChatGPT 4.5 on a daily basis and it is amazing for many tasks, and not 'error-laden' or 'hallucinating'. 
    Don't pretend Apple is solving an issue here. They are playing catch-up. No doubt they'll nail the execution.
    I suppose if your output consists of regurgitating what an LLM scrapes from the preexisting internet rather than
    making original contributions to human knowledge, an LLM can do your job perfectly well.
