@manton Totally.
I was surprised I couldn’t find any of the usual bloggers mentioning it. And of course it wasn’t part of any WWDC video or documentation from Apple I could find. (Unless my search skills aren’t what they used to be.)
And this is one area where AI is even pretty useless, because it has no training on something so new.
@lukemperez you’re making a very large assumption that we actually took out their nuclear materials. Pretty good chance Iran moved its stockpile the second Israel started bombing a week ago.
@manton as usual, a well reasoned take.
I do think it’s a risk for Apple. I also never count them out when they are “late” to anything.
I find it funny all the people who were quite vociferously shouting from the rooftops that Apple “needs to announce something with AI” a year ago are now the same people saying they never should have announced Apple Intelligence if it wasn’t going to be ready.
The mistake was listening to those voices last year. The delay is the course correction they needed.
Like you said, they may very well end up losing this one. But I’m not super worried given the stare of the competition right now. Yes, the tech is getting better. But the product—the real killer app for AI is nowhere to be found yet.
@manton exactly. It makes posting a more deliberate action. Though I can see why many would want to post from these apps directly, I am happy to pop over to the native micro.blog app to post this, for instance. It’s a check on me to be sure that what I want to say is worth the little extra effort.
@manton for me, not being able to post is more of a feature than a bug. Since I tend to read a lot more than I post. Takes away the temptation to react to everything with more noise that in the scheme of things doesn’t help anyone.
