@patrickrhone holy crap. I never had a way to describe this to someone before. But I think this is me.
I tell people “I only dream in audio.” Meaning, when I have dreams, I see nothing. I just hear voices. So I always know it’s not real. I’ve never been scared by dreams as a result.
And when I close my eyes, it’s much the same. I can recall sounds. And I can describe things to myself in my head voice such that I can get enough context to process ideas. But I can’t “see” anything, per se.
Fascinating.
@manton I think about hanging it all up and opening a coffee shop at least once every six months.
No matter how many coffee shops open up in SF, there’s always room for one more.
@cheesemaker they thought Portland was the perfect place to deploy their incitement tactics and produce their little reality TV show about war zones in America. Boy, did they get that wrong.
@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.
