  • Apple's generative AI may be the only one that was trained legally & ethically

    "Training" is just a marketing term. Generative AI programs, like any computer program, require a database in order to work. No data = no output. If copyrighted works are part of the database, then the company that owns the program needs to have paid to license those works. Think of it like a generative video game similar to No Man's Sky. Yes, the program can procedurally generate things but it's still dependent on the database of assets that the game designers built for it to use. 
    That's not terribly accurate.

    The training data goes through a Neural Net - it doesn't result in anything resembling a database.

  • False Flag: Social media erupts over Apple's predictive text Palestine blunder

    mknelsonmknelson
    Yup, that's how predictive text works - if a lot of users are typing Jerusalem and a flag of Palestine that will come up for others.

    Funny that malware like CleanMyMac is complaining about malware.

    I remove that garbage any time I see it.
    Hey, at least it's not MacKeeper!

    I’ve adopted two 5g iPhones, but not sure I’ve ever been on a 5g network even in rare trip to big city. 
    I have an iPhone 12 Pro I received shortly after it was launched. I have never had a 5G cellular plan so I’m still on LTE. Despite all the comments on this forum where people absolutely insisted that 5G on a cell phone would change everything I’ve still yet to know anyone that is amazed at all the things their 5G phone can do that their previous phone couldn’t. I haven’t heard anyone comment that they would never go back after the 5G upgrade. In fact, I haven’t heard anyone ever comment on their 5G, other than on forums like this one. 

    So, I’m one of those people that has a 5G capable phone but so far my life doesn’t seem appreciably worse than someone who is actually on a 5G network. 
    5G for phones as we currently use it isn't much more than a higher upload and download speed. It's nice, but not game changing.

    5G has other modes, shorter range at higher frequency, which could be very useful for self driving cars communicating with each other and things like that.
