Yeah, as i say - i love the idea. The practical reality, at least so far, is shit. And i don’t see any way for it to get better rather than worse

Oh, plenty of what i want is gimmicky. GIVE ME A HUD!

But i can think of things like overlaying arrows on the environment when getting walking directions, setting reminders by seeing things/people, being able to fully view 3d objects when doing things like identifying something (say a flower you’ve seen) by image

I’ve been evangelising for smart glasses for years. But even if they get the functionality I’ve been hoping for I’m still not going to get them, because i don’t want every woman i meet to think I’m secretly recording her tits

There’s no way I’m letting Elon musk do brain surgery on me to harvest my thoughts

Yes, I’ve been saying this for over a year now about AI-driven search. And not just specifically search engines. Like “where’s the nearest coffee shop?” To your phones assistant or whatever

I currently tend toward perplexity because traditional search engines are so terrible now thanks to ads and seo. We’re speedrunning llms being just as useless at finding things

A decade or so ago my mum was in hospital for a couple of days. She had to go for a test and so missed her evening meal. So at around 7 or 8 one had to be brought to her. It was a small microwave meal for 1, still in its plastic microwave container. One of her nurses told her that the charge to the NHS for this single meal from the catering company was £45

If you read your girlfriends journal without her permission, then she probably is better off without you

I’m fine with the working class being replaced with robots. That was always the dream of robots. As long as it means that everybody gets to live a life of leisure. Because that was also always the dream

We’re all going to live a life of leisure, right?

The article itself is AI

Thank you

How? And where to?

You do realise that you haven’t contracted me in your post, don’t you?

It’s also, by pure coincidence, the exact size and distance to make it appear to be the same size as the sun in the sky, making total eclipses really cool

Europa. Because it’s possible - although not likely - that there’s an intelligent civilisation under the ice

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Then Stanford prison experiment was a sham, and honest researchers have tried and filled to replicate it more than once

The original final third of the film dealt with the child abuse allegations. They filmed it all. And then one of the victims lawyers reminded them that they were not legally allowed to depict him in any way, so they had to scrap it

There’s no indication that cook is leaving because of Apple Intelligence. It’s been rumoured for ages that he was leaving, to be replaced by Ternus

You’re just choosing to believe whatever you want to believe, facts be damned

Federighi is the one who talked Cook in to moving the company towards AI, and he’s the person who was put in charge of the AI-ification of Siri when the previous fly was let go. Turnus is a hardware guy. The two things he’s most responsible for are Apple Silicon and AirPods.

Oh, and he was the one who pushed for the Macbook Neo, which has been hugely successful -commercially, in terms of reception, and has even had CEOs of other companies like Dell saying it’s a serious threat to their business

It’s been rumoured for about a year now

There doesn’t have to be a health issue. 65 is not an unreasonable age to want to transition into semi-retirement

Possibly the last album i bought before streaming. Girl with a violin, guy with a guitar doing English folk songs, some traditional, some original. The ad for the album featured a song which featured those instruments as well as beatboxing and blues harmonica. There were quotes from music journalists gushing over how original and innovative the album was

Instant buy

Then i listen to the album and literally every other track sounds exactly how you’d think a song would sound if you were told it was s girl with s violin and a guy with a guitar singing English folk songs

I’m still annoyed, although i do still listen to that one song
