Oliver ReichensteinMaking voicemail cool again. #wwdc
Making voice messages cool for old people. #wwdc
Namedrop is yet another nice UX touch. #wwdc
Nice updates for autocorrect, too. I have to try it to fully believe that it works though. #wwdc
Widgets for macOS, the Return. #WWDC
Adaptive Audio. Can I force our kids via FaceTime to use that at home? đ
In iA lingo, video conferencing updates are "capulavo" (masterwork) #wwdc
CarPlay joining session: đ
Not an Apple Watch person, but this is was a great video. #wwdc
"Mental health is as important as physical health." True. I'm skeptical if more self analysis via screen time and tracking is the way to improve it. Happy to be proven wrong. #wwdc
Apple Vision Pro looks cool as an object. Put on people still look prisoned. Seeing through is a clear improvement to the blinding goggles. Visual design in UI work is nice. #wwdc
They call it "spacial computing" #wwdc
"You can see them and they can see you." It's a very cool looking object that makes you look very uncool.
So many good looking people in the coolest spaces. And behind the goggles they all look prisoned, fooled, trapped, stupid. #wwdc
Dad looking at his kids with the goggles looks like a complete idiot. #wwdc
It's already bad enough to look at your kids through your phone. This is just... nah. Gaming, maybe, but this is bullshit. And in spite of the high quality production and the futuristic product design, it looks old fashioned. #wwdc
Did they say "IT'S A PRISON OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES" WTF?! #wwdc
And it's not "spacial computing" it's "facial computing" Edit: No, it's "spatial computing" I misheard or someone misspoke during the presentation. #wwdc
"You brain is totally convinced that the sound is coming from the space around you" #wwdc
"Microsoft apps make full useage of the possibilities and sharp text rendering" đ¤ #wwdc
It might be very successful. It'll be great for porn. #wwdc And it will be better than this:
It will be great on the plane for sure. #wwdc
I understand that they couldn't show the use case for erotic movies. đ But why didn't they show a single game? #wwdc
Oh, $3,500.- that's a lot of money for on flight entertainment, retro games or for getting caught in an embarrassing situation.
I'll rewatch the Apple Vision intro tomorrow. Giving us the "One more thing" treatment was a bit too cheesy. First product shot was glorious. Then it dove down into black mirror and self parody territory. Das filming kids scene was a raw mistake. They caught up a bit explaining the tech, which they always do really well. Disney movie had a serious copy writing flaw saying "a prism of endless possibilities" is an involuntary but serious mistake when introducing such a device. #wwdc
I wasn't fully focused, between watching, posting, texts coming in, DMs and discussing in iA internal chat, but I think they completely ghosted "AI". That's remarkable. They mentioned "Machine Learning" once, during the iOS17 presentation (predictive text and autocorrect), but apart from that: Zero. Siri reacts to "Siri" instead of "Hey, Siri" but stays a major embarrassment. Traders are not optimistic, either.
Roger Wong@reichenstein Craig mentioned âtransformerâ a few times. Once specifically having to do with updating how autocorrect works.
Waly@reichenstein traders are never optimistic about Apple post-event, like, ever. I wouldnât take this as any significant sign.
@waly I don't care much about traders. When it comes to IT, I trust my instincts way more than some gamblers who don't know much about technology or design to begin with.
Dane Deasy@reichenstein Then why did you share what the stock is doing?
@danedeasy Because these people, no matter how random in their judgement, have more influence on everything than us.
Aleksandar VaciÄ@reichenstein the presentation was chock full of various applications of âAIâ but I donât see Apple ever calling it like that. âPowered by neural networkâ is the highest step of anthropomorphism they would go.
Harri Granholm@reichenstein I was specifically paying attention to this. Apple carefully avoided the word âAIâ, but âmachine learningâ and âneuralâ were mentioned many times. In every single product category, I believe. Interesting to see if they stick to their guns with the on-device ML approach. (Itâll take a long time before you can run something like an LLM on a phone.)
@harri I noticed as well.
Mark Boulton@reichenstein were they thrilled, though?
@markboulton I indeed counted one "thrilled" (my new hobby) and I wondered "who wrote this?" But then I thought "Nah they're too paranoid to feed ChatGPT with WWDC material."
Frederik@reichenstein but a lot easier then bringing your 77inch TV into a plane đ¤ˇââď¸
heracl.es@reichenstein Never was there an Apple product with a narrower audience to target. It feels destined for young C-level executives, gamers without a console and no stream followers, and singles watching films.
