I can't believe I just now learned this in Xcode
You can select some text, cut it with ⌘X, select a folder in the navigator and paste with ⌘V, and it puts it in a new file
And all this time I've kept all my code in one giant file
I was grossed out when Apple got to image generation in their WWDC keynote, and I was grossed out when I read that Applebot scraped "the open web" to train their AI model, with publishers only being able to opt out after the fact. Disappointing to say the least.

From Apple’s Machine Learning Research1 blog: Our foundation models are trained on Apple’s AXLearn framework, an open-source project we released in 2023. It builds on top of JAX and XLA, and allows us to train the models with high efficiency and scalability on various training hardware and cloud platforms, including TPUs and both cloud and
I want AI to help me figure things out. Not make things up for me.
Apple is clearly looking at the figuring out part - a lot of useful features were presented (albeit with a lot of future tense in the statements). A big plus that it's being done in a private context.
But it's the made up art where everyone (rightly) focuses their attention. Given the huge number of creative people using Apple products, taking away our collective imagination feels like a huge misstep.
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!)
