The main takeaway is investors are really spooked and any negative news is amplified in the stock sell off

Are people on here still arguing that these tools are not a good ROI for SW engineering? IF someone has a good argument for it I would love to hear it

I have been trying to find a good solution for photos but never came across this. I will look into this

If anything I am surprised they haven’t done this till now. When they gave no option to opt out of having our Gemini chats to not be used for training it was clear Google took a turn to be bold and aggressive about using user data. It was the sign to move away

I think the answer is overtime I expect them to integrate a lot of the llm based businesses as an add on or option. For example, they can easily provide a healthcare vertical and absorb all of that business. They have a lot of momentum and so establishing that relationships will be easy across verticals for these companies. Just like how Apple and android started adding functionality from successful apps as a feature on their platform, I expect these llm companies to also do. Right now they are trying to focus purely on their llm improvements and quality, but once they IPO, and they need to show growth yoy they will absorb a lot of current use cases other companies are working on

As long as people fall for scare tactics and don’t actually reason to think and demand proper solutions from politicians, these will continue. From a politicians perspective, there is no roi in fixing problems, the damn people will just want more. Instead, just scare them and pit one group against the other and that is reusable and scales very well. That’s what we have today.

There are no prices anywhere, I guess if I have to ask for the price I am not invited to buy this :)

Not a little, am a lot surprised. It started at $79 and then bumped to $150 and now doubled again to 300. Definitely was not expecting this jump.

The screen is fixed though. You have to huddle around the device where as the phone can be passed around. Homeschool can be done through Apple TV or iPhone.

Very interesting, I worked on something very similar for tremors, just didn’t take it to a product or a startup for reasons. Glad to see someone did it

Wonder what the real use cases for this are. How often does this get used once the novelty wears off? If they have to resort to “find me a restaurant “ as part of the launch demo, I don’t have a lot of hope for it.

I know Apple will get the security right, no question. So I would use it but not sure it’s worth it. I don’t see a compelling use case personally

It’s not that ideas are exhausted but there is a lot of development and we are building layers on top of layers. So one needs to be familiar with them and fully familiar with the outer most layer to generate new ideas, because new ideas utilize and extend this outer most layer.

Using an encrypted VM is standard but the encryption is the core issue. Just plain encryption will allow them to proclaim it’s all secure/private. But that is where I don’t trust Meta. Are they using a different key for every user? They are not claiming that meta cannot and will not see the data. Can they say that the user data is not exfiltrated for their own training and analysis? Are they claiming that their developers cannot see user data? What happens when a government request comes? What happens when a bug happens and their admins and devs need to debug? What about a rogue dev/admin?

I don’t trust meta will do any of this

I am sure a lot of folks tested it but the ai says Biden won the 2020 elections, they did not try to change that or add any qualifiers to the answer like all of the government officials nominated answered with.

What does a full integration of claude or openAI models into the phone even mean? What additional functionality can one get and what are those use cases? Does it actually pull in more users to the voice/Siri interface? I mean even with vastly superior models, does it move the needle enough to attract more users?
