I can’t overemphasize the number of times I happened to end up walking outside in nature, most recently sledding, and suddenly had clarity on some next steps for a solution I was working on… not just nothing on your desk but no desk! It’s so hard to remember, especially in winter, but it feels closer to real magic than anything running on a computer even in the age of “ai”!

Are Apple AI agent delays bearish for AI agents in general? Unless something else is the issue it’s normal behavior for Apple not to implement something everyone else already has until it’s very good and solid.

Apple wants to vertically integrate. Their AI strategy until recently was to develop their own LLM models that were small enough to run on device. But massive scaling is what makes LLMs so powerful, so all their internal models were terrible and unusable.

Basically they bet that compute efficient LLMs were the future. That bet was wrong and the opposite came true.

These aren't "agent" features. they're the features announced in 2024, like ai summaries in web search and natural language image editing

I think to a similar point, if Apple is so picky about it that it’s still not ready… it definitely tracks with my experience using ai, it requires my review and often bungles things, I wouldn’t just turn it over to my customer yet and trust it to be reliably high quality.

The final Turing test has been passed.

I haven’t hit this yet and now I feel like someone just told me about thorns for the first time while I’m here jogging confidently through the woods with shorts on.

So where is the electrician? Busy at an AI data center being built?

This strikes me as potentially a hardware problem more than a software problem.

Probably a bit of both but I don’t know any other hardware that is that addictive…

Social network are not necessarily bad, even for teens. The issue here is the effort to make any user into a scrolling machine combined to a medium always in your pocket.

The government could spend effort on making a documentary and funding a study on brain scans and a little campaign to show everyone the damage and educate rather than just wielding the ban hammer. Especially because it’s often possible that they can have a different motive for ban hammering even if the reason given is valid.

Like I’ve always said love him or hate him Elon Musk is a SPACE OIL SALESMAN!

I expect, especially in things like transit or healthcare, that people still need to review the code that is written. Even if we write bots that are good at scanning code for issues, we still can’t risk trusting any code blindly for some industries…

I can start to see the dangers of ai now, whereas before it was more imaginary sci-fi stuff I couldn’t pin down. On the other hand a dystopian sci-fi full of smart everything seems more possible now since code can be whipped up so easily, which means perhaps that the ability for your smart-monocle to find and hack things in every day life is also way more likely now if the world around you is saturated by quick and insecure code.

I experienced this but ended up getting off of them after developing some back/hip issues but I didn’t think it was related, it wasn’t until I quit the citalopram that my shoulders were suddenly relaxed and the hip “looseness” or constant need to be adjusted back into place went away, like everything tightened back up, it is really strange, then I looked up how SSRIs can impact this and even bone healing, decided I couldn’t risk my body falling apart.
