  • Internal Apple AI 'Ask' tool being tested by employees

    I hope this has LAM as well as LLM; being able to have 'Ask' do stuff will be a paradigm shift in personal computing on a Star Trekian level.  I believe it will, and this all using on-device edge technology.  My best guess is this will be released on the next iPhone with limited support for the last few iterations.  It would be cool if HomePod II also has support secretly already.

  • Internal Apple AI 'Ask' tool being tested by employees

    ... has this been Apple's long 'game' since 2011 - to 'quietly' harvest customer data and IP under the interminable EULA, misnomer of 'machine learning' and guise of 'what is on your iphone stays on your iphone' privacy for future monetisation...?

    What ever happened to the cascading class actions reported by Gizmodo per: gizmodo.com.au/2023/02/after-a-dozen-lawsuits-apple-breaks-its-silence-on-privacy-problems/ ???

    I seriously doubt this.

  • A luxury airline says it'll hand out Apple Vision Pro to select passengers

    Xed said:
    This isn't a criticism per se, but this does read like a cheap attempt by this single-plane airline out of the Maldives to gain some press off of the Apple Vision Pro.
    Or attract passengers?  Sounds like a great marketing idea to me.  I hope every airline does this, and soon, we are flying a first-class round trip to Europe in July; I'd love it if this were the case on our flights.

  • Why drivers in Scotland are crashing because of bad Apple Maps data

    I lived in Scotland long enough to know it's the whiskey.

  • Apple throws its hat into the AI-generated image ring

    It's fairly obvious that Apple is rushing out at least a half-baked something in order to claim "we do AI too, just like those other guys," and for the silliest of reasons: Prop up a stock price.

    Apple the corporation doesn't get a cent more if the stock goes up, or a penny less if it goes down. But Cook and the rest of the upper management team certainly does, with much of their pay coming in the form of company stock rather than cash. Thus we have these kinds of kneejerk things announced by them now instead of the slow and steady development without broadcasting the internal baby steps that we typically expect from Apple.

    It's silly when Samsung/Google/random tech company, responds to some new Apple service or product with "Hey, look what we're working on, it's just as good!" and equally as silly when Apple turns around and does the same thing.
    Sarcasm, I assume?  Of course, you are smart enough to suspect Apple is close to releasing an edge versions of both LLM and LAM with Apple silicon, which will be pretty impressive.
