Excellent shot, beautiful Snowy.

But it’s “all of a sudden.” All of a sudden.

Yeah, that’s probably the difference

Okay, and fair enough, but I don’t want anything going to anyone. If it’s apple, it’s at least part of that DPA and it’s part of the whole deal, but OpenAI can gtfo of my phone. That’s a hard no.

Even then - what, find all the pictures of my dog bucky and message them to grandma? I guess? Put pushpin icons on the map where all my phot -oh wait it already does that. Umm . . how many of my phone contacts are Masons? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno - I just don’t know what I’d use it for.

Additionally, police discovered that Kim redacted certain details related to former Defense Security Command chief Yeo In-hyung and former Special Warfare Command chief Kwak Jong-keun when he voluntarily submitted part of the secret phone record ledger to the prosecution on Jan. 25.

>ChatGPT$: what is perjury

Why, what, is there something different about the Google guy?

ChatGPT is there to understand the language and context of the request

Like, how? Or why? I admit I don’t use Siri hardly at all but the most I wanted from it was making a note, calling someone, or getting a simple search back. ChatGPT only does the latter that I know of, and its answers are often poorly sourced and often very wrong.

I don’t know - based on that - why I’d let it near anything actually important.

I’d have to know more specifics to really answer but the gist is that it will cost an exorbitant amount fir very little gain. There’s no magic to be had and every single honest survey shows people overwhelmingly don’t want it.

Sure, so long as it doesn’t mess up. Which is not possible. AI has no idea what a calendar is or what the word calendar means. And even if they do limit it to basic functionality like speech to text or scheduling, it already does most of that amd they’d be plowing millions into the slightest improvements.

On the other hand if they try to expand it and have it, say, plan a trip for you - it’s either not going to work or it’s going to have enough spectacular faults that it’s effectively unusable.

They’re falling for the hype even though they know it’s just hype.

Mike Rockwell, the Apple Vision Pro chief, has replaced John Giannandrea as the executive in charge of Siri, in an executive shakeup to try and rescue Apple’s flailing AI efforts.

The glacial rollout of Apple Intelligence and the lack of progress on Siri has not been a good look for Apple over the last year. Now, Apple is making a big change to get things back on track.

The glacial rollout is because it doesn’t work, and it can’t work. Stop trying so hard to jump in the shit puddle, apple.

Geez it’s like what happened to make these institutions such embarrassments?

IT’S A MYSTERY

5 . . . 4 . . 3 . . engines on . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .the owl is beginning to move . . .

AI Scrapers and AI bug reports ddos’ing every git repo. JFC

Well, thanks for all the fish.

I would fuck them up big time.

“Oh yeah? Sure sure. I’m just gonna commit one small change. There ya go. Now. You were saying?”

US techies also call for that. Y’know. Just. For completeness’ sake.

Ghost is open source, independent, and funded 100% by its users.

Nice. I was looking for an alternative to Substack (not very hard obvs) and this might do it.

What’s weird is that these people are so awful, so horrible as leaders, and so wasteful and stupid with the massive fortune they’ve found and we all can change it with one simple press of a button - and we don’t.

What’s a Time Crystal?

To understand time crystals, imagine regular crystals like diamonds or quartz. These are beautifully structured because their atoms repeat in precise, organized patterns in space.

On the other hand, doesn’t time crystal repeat patterns in space—it ticks in a consistent rhythm over time, combining the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension: time.

Breaking New Ground: The Time Quasicrystal

Time crystals aren’t new—they were first created in 2016. But the WashU team took things further, building a “time quasicrystal.” Unlike regular time crystals, which tick with one predictable rhythm, time quasicrystals produce multiple frequencies, like playing a chord instead of a single note.

How They Did It?

Okay, uh, I don’t know what’s going on here but no.

I actually wondered that at the time simply because whenever a new person discovers the horrors of HP printers people in the comments are always boosting Brother printers.

Like, if Canon had been accused of bricking third-party printer ink I’m not sure it would have made the feed.
