I wonder if there’s a way to predict how someone might react to them. This isn’t my experience.

Very similar. I had daily panic attacks for a while. Lorazepam and therapy helped me recognize the signs and slowly they went away.. along with how often I even took the lorazepam. It’s useful every now and then but it’s very rare.

If this is meant to be published research, its often because there’s a long lag with doing the research and getting published results back compared to how fast the AI world moves.

They’re American. Lockheed Martin isn’t part of the gov either. That’s the private/public model in the US.

I don’t know why this isn’t the majority opinion here in this western audience, but this seems like common sense to me. Why would you let the gov use foreign technology, particularly when standing in for human thought, when you have your own technology to choose from? No one is surprised we’re not buying military planes from China.

> Whoever made this decision in Apple seems pretty close to flat out evil.

Could not be further from the truth. Let’s stop such nasty hate for the most minor of things; there are lots of choices one makes when designing software / interfaces / hardware and not every edge case is immediately apparent.

Disclosure: I work at Apple. I also had nothing to do with this change.

Very well possible. I’m glad to see that this is all above board in the end, which further argues the case AGAINST conspiracy theories. Most people are just trying to do the right thing.

This is a bit extreme.... and yes I know this admin is extreme but there are still millions who visit the US and have a perfectly normal time.

It’s ok. Their app isn’t great, but the underlying technology is. Spotify can directly play to one of their speakers. Their local protocol is also well understood and you can do most things with it, so you can vibe code your own replacement app pretty easily. The problem is once you hit their cloud APIs the latency is way too high for something like a speaker.

27 is really good. Worth the upgrade.

Disclosure: I work at Apple. But that’s also my honest opinion.

I can’t do that, and I think I’m a very capable HI. Is that really the bar?

You’re missing the entire new world of personal context retrieval.

Nearly everything is improved and the new Siri is great.

What makes you call it crapware? The new spotlight search (from Siri) is amazing and super convenient.

I’ve changed my mind on this and think we’re already at AGI, in a jagged way. Remember we used to talk about narrow AI, which was the chess systems that beat expert humans but could do nothing else. Now models can do a wide range of tasks in very useful ways. That’s the general in AGI.

Now it seems like this ill-defined term has various other meanings attached that are separate milestones:

1. Continuous learning 2. Human-like reasoning 3. Ability to adapt to new situations and modalities 4. Being smarter than the most smart humans

And probably many more.

It’d be nice if we could get some general consensus on terminology if we’re going to debate what has or could come.
