Next week #WWDC predictions? #AI wise easy: Nothing that's going to match or top Google, Microsoft. #Apple will focus on iterations and practical ways intelligence is incorporated into the OS.
This will extract a cry of "Apple is behind on AI". Which they are. But not worried. They'e always been fast followers.
If they don't blindly introduce a "Recall" or something that says we can put glue on our pizza, then that's a win.
When it comes to my phone improve what I regularly use. </$0.02>
Call it the battle of the voice assistants. A Tech Radar editor tested Apple’s Siri against Google Gemini and Samsung’s Bixby. He made a list of 25 tasks he expected the AI to complete and graded them all on each. One of them easily outdid the others. Take a guess as to which one it was. https://flip.it/gqv-IQ #Tech#Siri#Gemini#Bixby#AI
@kellogh Yep, #recall is one of those bad names, that makes you wonder what else was on the shortlist in the meeting.
"Right team, here are the options from the focus groups, it should be MS...
I-Spy
Peeping Clippy
Privacy Nightmare
Torment Nexus...Ahem, sorry, no, but Torment Nexus is already taken for that, you know, 'other', project...
"When a 23-year-old Sam Altman took the stage at Apple Inc.’s annual developer conference in 2008, he gushed about being able to use the company’s new App Store to promote his software, a friend-locating service called Loopt."
That's OpenAI's Sam Altman. He spoke at WWDC in 2008? That's incredible.
And now he's back. 2008 was the year of the App Store (and some brutal NDAs).
"Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025, but the company is now taking the unusual step of reopening its beta program for Windows 10 to test new features and improvements."
Are they just going to start cramming more AI into it to see if they can force people to upgrade?
Our sushi isn’t always bad just sometimes. Next week we get distributor 2.0 with more & better fish so it will be amazing. It will be so good you can’t imagine eating other food. But…we need special rules to help us make the most perfect sushi & we totally shouldn’t get in trouble for food poisoning if it happens. Also we may take fish we didn’t pay for, but that’s ok because our sushi will be amazing! You will eat our sushi. All food is soon sushi.
The mass exodus from #Windows to #Linux (and #Mac) due to #Windows11 and #AI continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).
Mourners can now speak to an #AI version of the dead. But will that help with grief? Selina Sykes reports. FRANCE24's Monte Francis speaks to Tomasz Hollanek, Research Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge about the benefits, risks and future developments of AI clones. #death#bereavement#mentalhealth#tech
A few words about the new Microsoft Recall #privacy busting feature. People on Mastodon probably know about it already, but still — WTF? Just store everything in a local database that seems to be insecure even before release? #windows#microsoft#ai
Is anyone playing with NPU's for local #AI ... stuff? I can't call it programming, that feels wrong.
So what do you think of this toy made for RaspberryPi5? It's an AI accelerator that's about 4x slower than AMD Ryzen NPU's, but as usual with RPi it's an affordable starting point if you wish to fool-around with local AI models.
Niedługo zamiast rozpoznawać schody i przejścia dla pieszych, będziemy oceniać na ile cytat z sieci jest trollingiem, żartem a na ile prawdziwą informacją.
