@carnage4life It is not a done deal. It is a rumored deal to this point.

Increasingly, companies are expected to take a leap of faith when it comes to generative AI without sufficient tools to measure software effectiveness and ROI.

If you're supposed to just push forward with AI initiatives because you might get left behind, it begs the question how you measure success.

@estherschindler Amazing analysis of an iconic song.

I thought this was an excellent overview of Apple Intelligence with the right level of detail and skepticism, while doing a good job of explaining Apple's motivations:

WWDC 2024: Apple Intelligence

Apple is focusing on what it can do that no one else can on Apple devices, and not really even trying to compete against ChatGPT *et al.* for world-knowledge context. They’re focusing on unique differentiation, and eschewing commoditization.

@michellemanafy That feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

@andrew It may very well be, as much of this feels, but I read that it will be loaded with a minimum of 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD.

@andrew And at that point, is it worth the extra cost for features that are built into the system. Why not simply get a machine that doesn't have these features?

@drahardja So if you believe in that distinction in artwork, then why do you have a statement about not granting permission for people to use your work to train AI? That would suggest to me that you believe in copyright protection, not just labor protection

@drahardja @pluralistic I'm not sure why you're framing it as either/or. Both laws should be applied when it comes to stealing IP or abusing labor.
