Let’s hope Apple puts their “privacy first” money where their mouth is.
Sadly I do however think the ability to further lock down and control what uses can see and access might be just as tempting for them…
Love it so far on my phone.
On my tablet I really wish there was a “2-pane post view” as in spreading the posts out across my tablet screen to view more at the same time. (see for instance thunder for an 3xample on how this could look)
While I appreciate the intent behind the tablet view in sync it doesn’t suit my needs as much as just scrolling through more posts would do. :)
It has its own terms for a very good reason.
It’s relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.
This is what scares me the most.
I absolutely agree that they need to “play it safe” this time.
But for their consoles they have had a “it’s not worth launching something unless it’s really innovative” philosophy for quite some time. And if they decide on some bonkers idea that screws with my simple wish, a better switch, I think I’m going to be disappointed.
And I say this as a guy who has loved Nintendo and their products since I got my NES back in the 90s. I stood in line to get the Wii at launch, heck I even liked my Wii U. (Even if it was under powered and confusingly marketed, I liked that they tried to do something new…)
But this time Nintendo, just stick to a good, solid, backwards compatible , iteration on your original idea.
This.
Anyone who looks into this tech properly, beyond sensationalist headlines made to draw readers or outrageous claims to attract investors sees this emperor as the naked illusion that it is.
It’s a great tool for what it’s good at (generating convincing text outputs). And completely useless at others.
The risk to jobs currently are owners and managers with little to no knowledge trying to actually replace their employees with llms. These are companies setting them selves up for amazing and spectacular failure at this point in the game.
It’s impossible to say how this will play out in the long run but currently it’s interesting as a research tool, a tool for saving time when writing texts etc etc.
What happens when clever people integrate these models with other systems in intelligent and responsible ways is going to be interesting to follow.
Currently the most important thing to emphasize with AI is that a lot of the coverage and general writing on the subject matter is filled with misconceptions about how the technology works and what it is capable of. It’s full on hypecycle season.
I’m currently deep diving into AI and specifically LLMs to strengthen my ability to give respondible advice about it and to explain it in an understandable manner to our bosses and decision makers at work.
There are lots of great deep dives and explainers out there all ready and a few manage to get the fundamentals right without going completely bonkers technical as well… but the (and I hate using this word as it’s being abused way to much) main stream media is not a source with even a grain of propper comprehension when it comes to what this technology is (and perhaps even more important isn’t).
This is the video I currently recommended to get a good start at the subject of llms: https://youtu.be/-4Oso9-9KTQ
It is general enough for most people to follow but detailed enough to burst the biggest illusions on the subject.
That one looks way to big though…
