  • Apple stock bloodbath continues after China applies retaliatory tariffs

    In fairness to all the hillbillies who voted for Trump, America has tried smart presidents—Obama, they’ve tried average intelligence Presidents—Reagan, they’ve even tried dumb presidents—Bush Jr., yet things have continued to get worse for the middle classes. So, you might as well try a complete f*cking imbecile. Who knows? You might get lucky this time.

  • Apple is lying about Apple Intelligence, John Gruber says -- and he's right

    Alex_VAlex_V
    Garbage! Apple didn’t lie about upcoming AI features. Knowledge of AI is open source. Much of the science is well understood by thousands of computer scientists and programmers around the world, Apple is no different. They have the tech. They had working prototypes. They were ready to launch. They produced launch videos. All the whole, they were testing and debugging, and the test results were coming in… and holy sh*t, it was a hot mess. Errors, misinformation, hallucinations, dubious results,, ill-advised stuff, you name it. So Apple pressed ‘pause.’ Because 50% reliable is not good enough if you’re Apple. 

    50% reliable is fine for companies like ChatGPT, or any one of the dozens of other AI entrants. Never mind that their entire business model rests on plagiarising and circumventing copyright of the original creatives around the world.

    Good decision

    news notifications should be protected from manipulation 
    That’s not an example of ‘manipulation.’ It’s AI, which is “searching and copying web data and pasting into plausible sentences.” The errors occur because AI is mindless. It has no understanding of the context and not able to grasp the subtleties of written language.
