  • Okay, and fair enough, but I don’t want anything going to anyone. If it’s apple, it’s at least part of that DPA and it’s part of the whole deal, but OpenAI can gtfo of my phone. That’s a hard no.

    Even then - what, find all the pictures of my dog bucky and message them to grandma? I guess? Put pushpin icons on the map where all my phot -oh wait it already does that. Umm . . how many of my phone contacts are Masons? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno - I just don’t know what I’d use it for.








  • Sure, so long as it doesn’t mess up. Which is not possible. AI has no idea what a calendar is or what the word calendar means. And even if they do limit it to basic functionality like speech to text or scheduling, it already does most of that amd they’d be plowing millions into the slightest improvements.

    On the other hand if they try to expand it and have it, say, plan a trip for you - it’s either not going to work or it’s going to have enough spectacular faults that it’s effectively unusable.

    They’re falling for the hype even though they know it’s just hype.






  • Mike Rockwell, the Apple Vision Pro chief, has replaced John Giannandrea as the executive in charge of Siri, in an executive shakeup to try and rescue Apple’s flailing AI efforts.

    The glacial rollout of Apple Intelligence and the lack of progress on Siri has not been a good look for Apple over the last year. Now, Apple is making a big change to get things back on track.

    The glacial rollout is because it doesn’t work, and it can’t work. Stop trying so hard to jump in the shit puddle, apple.
