  • Nothing CEO takes shots at Apple, ludicrously says that apps are going away

    He is right. Apple is not as innovative as Apple was before. 
    Apple Intelligence = Apple Incompetence. 

    But will Nothing still be around in 7 ~ 10 years? 
    I dunno.
    It’s not like EVERY OTHER tech company’s first attempts at AI haven’t been dumpsters fires. They held off on what they did, because they didn’t want a put a glue on pizza debacle. That said, I’m fine if they never release it. AI is a smoke show that isn’t going to get much better than it is now and it’s all based on stealing from others
    You'd have to define 'dumpster fire'. 

    Perplexity Pro has suited my needs very well. AI in language translation, NLP, NLG, image/video creation/manipulation is amazing and constantly improving. 

    LLM's in industry are having a massive impact on almost everything they touch (with the huge exception of customer service Chatbots). 



    Dumpster fire: out of control thievery and runaway hypocrisy by an industry that's overhyped itself into reversing the trends of more productivity per watt, literally increasing the heat content of the earth's atmosphere.

  • Apple prepares iOS 19, macOS 16 'Solarium' UI overhaul for WWDC

    Apple can´t afford to continue with their tiny uprades from WWDC to WWDC. 

    WWDC 2024 was a disaster after Apple has failed to deliver what Apple promised. 

    Google I/O was an "All or nothing" event with survival instinct to overcome risk of their existence. Google made a great job with I/O. 
    Open AI steps up with Jony Ive to open a new chapter. 

    After those revolutionary steps from others, people clearly expect from Apple to responde with similar steps. 



    Google IO was just Google AI.   meh.

  • Tim Cook tried to kill Texas App Store age verification bill by calling the governor

    Age verification doesn’t invade anyone’s privacy. It simply ensures thst kids aren’t getting thrmselves or their parents into trouble. 

    Apple may have parental control options, but many aren’t aware and don’t want yo go hunting for such things. 

    Apple parental controls are only strengthened by age verification since it can then launch a wizard to run through. 

    Gotta look out for our people. Guardisng kids without invading everyone’s privacy sounds like a win-win. And having an apple account slready needs your info anyway. Heck rven an email address requires more info than it used to. 

    Of course it does.   It's asking for information.  Kids not ready to come out to their parents will avoid looking for answers and help because everything has to be viewed by their parents first.   Don't say things like "providing more information doesn't invade anyone's privacy"

  • Tantalizing details of Jony Ive's AI device leak after OpenAI meeting

    AI needs a physical presence to sell people in on.  And the rich people like to give money to their friends.  Ive wasn't a billionaire yet.  Now he is.  

    They all want to live forever.  It's the one thing their money can't buy.  Hence AI and crazy hardware that can model more and more.

    The main devices from Star Trek were communicators, tablets, phasers, and tricorders. I’m guessing it’s not a phaser, so it must be a tricorder. 
    Tricorders famously have screens, because human beings spend a LOT of cognitive power on visuals.  Lots of evolution along those lines.
