First three top-of-mind thoughts about Apple Intelligence:

• I really wish they would have addressed the environmental story. That would help me personally accept these features more. But I know they can’t… because the story isn’t good.

• I actually think a lot of it looks quite nice, feels Apple-esque, and the UI they’re doing is really cool

• I remain viscerally repulsed by any AI generated art lol (In their Notes demo the sketch looked better!)

True absolute star of the keynote: MathNotes

@cabel

* they are doing great work for the culture by situating AI imagery firmly in cringe memoji land

* on-device AI is the only good environmental angle. If people have to pay for AI energy themselves, the incentives are right for it to get more efficient.

* after 35 years they've finally sherlocked wolfram, who deserves it

@misuba idk man, I wish memoji were more culturally cringe. I see a lot of memoji pfps on mastodon.
