There are things that the user wants, and there are things that are good for the user. The two are rarely the same.

This is neither.

I have enjoyed that Apple didn’t have AI shoved into everything. It’s why I stayed with Apple. Such disappointment to hear. (Like most everything else that’s happened since new dude took over.)

I really enjoy playing with local AI but this constant need to shove it into everything is just getting annoying. It can be useful sometimes but it is often very unnecessary and gimmicky. I noticed the other day the app I use to control my lights had included a AI chat bot for controlling things. I played with it for about 2 minutes and I’ll never touch it again.

He has reportedly been grumpyabout not getting enough credit for fixing Apple’s digital assistant.

So about that…

Nokia and BlackBerry:

Well, if the AI Siri is any indication of the quality of services they will provide with this idea, then I will jump back to Android. That new Siri is so painfully shit that I am surprised they didn’t announce the sacking of everyone involved. Total amateur hour. They went from bad to worse somehow, and someone in the chain greenlit it for deployment. Mind-boggling.

More convinced my next phone will be a Linux phone

Get me the FUCK Out of here.

Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”

Huh. I guess there’s something for all the Federighi fans! I wonder if he was ever a candidate and lost out because of his AI views.

I wonder how realistic it is for a hard split to occur in apple, with people leaving to start another company. Could they even leverage what open source stuff Apple have?

"Butt him engineer! Him good for company!!!!" - Nope, just another one like the others. Same people keep floating to the top.
