Is it because he thinks he is the brightest human scientist, but it turns out he’s actually pretty stupid?

Well, I guess that explains what the “FU” in the model number stands for!

Honestly, most Apple users I know are well aware of touch screen laptops, and don’t want one 😅

if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.

This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?

It’s John Apple now!

(Tim Cook resigned. John Ternus is the current CEO of Apple)

Succulent Chinese meals!

Yes, they are slower. However, I think that the pricing we’re going to see from the cloud providers might be enough to deter quite a lot of people. At least I hope so:

The fact that we’re already used to blazing speed generation kinda sucks. Local models are a much more sustainable way of unlocking the benefits of LLMs than giant ecosystem- and community-destroying data centers.

OK, that is actually hilarious! I love the fact that it’s slightly crumpled.

Huh. The dimensions are that of a sheet of A4 paper. It would be hilarious if it were just a piece of printer paper with £100,000,000 printed on it!

Exactly! The EU digital wallet spec is perfect for this: It allows for granular info like “is this person older than X years”, which is exactly what we want here! Not what Meta wants, obviously, but fuck them.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the problem is not the technology, but who controls it.

If we actually taught digital literacy in schools, and democratized access to technology, people could be making their own software made for solving problems instead of capturing attention!

Seize the means of computation!

TBF the AI features in Arc are actually pretty good! Just quality of life-stuff like renaming downloads and getting summary previews when hovering search results. I have a suspicion they’ll push it farther with Dia, though…

Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?
