  • Brad Pitt & George Clooney are lone 'Wolfs' in Apple movie trailer

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    Great names and they both have comedic talent, however it’s Apple that I don’t trust. They’ve been releasing a lot of lower quality stuff as of late while spending millions. 
    I feel this is going to be formulaic stuff where guns and killing are portrayed as goofy and actors playing funny, so that in the end there is no character viewer and nobody really cares. It’s a fast-food movie judging the trailer. 
    When are they going to take risk and throw uit some more edgy, daring content? 
    My favorite show on Apple TV is Severance - this is truly original and has a great art direction. Impeccable story telling. We don’t need fast-food, we need quality.

  • Mac Pro and Mac Studio refreshes may wait till 2025

    It sounds like a weird strategy not to push the M4 now it’s in their tablets. Especially when the Mac Studio still is on M2.

    Personally I believe Apple is going full force on AI for their new operating systems and for this they need to get the M4 out there as quickly as possible, so they can once again show the benefits of a perfect marriage of hardware and software.

    Sure, laptops come first, but their desktops are a ‘status symbol’ to them: demonstrate what their products can do for professionals who demand high-end performance.

    It’s either at WWDC or late 2024 I believe.

  • iPad Air hands on: A return to an affordable large-format iPad

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    Finally Apple got rid of 64gb, which was a disaster for people without know-how on storage. They’d buy an iPad and then realize quickly they were in trouble storage wise. 

    The iPad Air is the best product of the tablet family, unless you have younger kids - the 256gb regular iPad is the best one then, with more memory to store games and a chip that can run all games easily. 

    The worst of them is the iPad Pro, which targets an audience who hates the limitations of its operating system. Hopefully this will drastically improve in September with iPadOS 18.

    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.
    So do I and I would take nothing it produces at face value. It's often factually wrong and makes a lot of stuff up, even on your own data. This is well-known, and a 'feature' of any current model on the market. Denying that just makes you look silly.
    I use it for presentations, coding, marketing and more and it is rarely factually incorrect. Where it goes off the rails is usually over time (e.g in coding), but as long as you direct it properly, these issues are contained. Same goes for the larger models on Huggingface. 

    In fact my job is to bring generative AI to the company’s product suite.

    So yes I’m “denying” as you put it, and I leave it up to others whether that is “silly”.
