"Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful #tech companies — #Apple, #Microsoft and #SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent...
#Apple#iPad#AI#GenerativeAI#Marketing: "Smartphones and tablets were invented to enhance our lived experience, to make it easier to leave the house and go to the beach and meet up with friends — just a good camera-computer combo that fits in your pocket.
Theoretically, our phones and tablets will become even more useful with AI, serving as virtual assistants that can do all the boring stuff we don’t want to, like summarizing all your new emails and filtering out junk. There’s a world in the not too distant future, according to AI proponents, where you can simply tell Siri or Google “order my usual breakfast from the coffee shop near the office, I’ll be there in 10 minutes to pick it up,” and the bot will do just that.
We’re not there yet, however. And so far, the consumer applications for AI are simultaneously underwhelming and dystopian.
Distorted images may be harmless social media fodder, until they become propaganda spread by bad actors."
OpenAI closed the deal with Apple, the next Siri will probably be powered by OpenAI. Not a coincidence i think the deal was closed before the pressconference from OpenAI today about it's product updates.
Also Google I/O is tomorrow, it's a busy week for AI. #Apple#OpenAI#Siri#ChatGPT#AI
I did discover that three clips that hold the front broke off already, need to glue them back at a later date, but the 8100 is mostly restored and quieter now as it only runs off the BlueSCSI, the HD is disconnected, but causes a slight about 10 sec delay when it cold boots.
In this week’s Disconnect Roundup, Apple delivered an insult to life itself by crushing all human creativity into an iPad Pro in its recent ad. Plus, recommended reads, labor updates, and other news you might have missed.
Here’s my iPhone box collection. I have the iPhones still. Does anyone else keep the boxes, even when they have no intention of selling them for the foreseeable future?
‘British newspaper groups have warned #Apple that any move to impose a so-called “web eraser” tool to block advertisements would put the financial sustainability of journalism at risk.
‘Apple is preparing to include an AI-based #privacy feature in the #Safari browser in the next #iOS 18 software update that will remove ads or other unwanted website content, according to reports.’ https://on.ft.com/4be4E5Y
Let's see how this ages: The first Apple device that bridges the artificial gap between iPadOS and macOS will be called "iPad Studio" and use a hybrid operating system that behaves lika tablet and runs mainly iPadOS apps when no keyboard with trackpad is present and runs macOS apps when a keyboard with trackpad is attached.
iPad: Für mich seit einigen Jahren keine Notwendigkeit mehr. Mir genügt die Kombination von Macbook Air mit M1-Chip und iPhone 13 Pro vollkommen. Meine Begierde nach einem neuen Gerät könnte geweckt werden, wenn in der nächsten Generation von iPhone und MacBook wirklich für mich nützliche KI-Funktionalität drin wäre. Denk ich (derzeit) an #Siri in der Nacht ... #iPad#MacBook#Apple

Apple iPads mit M4 - Die etwas andere Analyse! https://www.metacheles.de/apple-ipad-m4-analyse/
#AI#GenerativeAI#Automation#Unemployment#ViceMedia#Journalism#Media#Apple#iPad: "On the one hand it is really wild to me that Apple would miscalculate on something so drastically — Apple prides itself on its marketing, which is as crucial to the company as any of its technologies — but on the other, I’m thankful. The ad has clarified some things: amid (yet another) week in which human writers and artists were watching their work degraded into content fodder, Apple came along and handed us a perfect visual metaphor for one of our most potent fears about big tech right now — namely, that it is crushing the arts and transmuting them into dull consumer products. And, I might add, they are so content with what they are doing, that they are more than happy to broadcast that intent explicitly via advertising — signed off on by the highest echelons of Apple, and Tim Cook himself tweeting it out — with an exclamation point in the title. “Crush!” indeed." https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/for-artists-writers-humans-big-techs
"Over the past few months, we’ve learned that Apple has been in discussions with both Google and OpenAI (which owns ChatGPT) about using their respective LLMs to power future features coming to iOS. Now, according to industry analyst Mark Gurman, Apple’s deal with OpenAI might be close to finalized."
Apple's controversial "Crush" ad received a negative reaction worldwide - and especially in Japan. We've rounded up some of the most pained reactions from artists and customers on social media.
