Give me a Mac app with a local LLM. I’ll point it to my folder of personal docs like receipts, bills, taxes, etc and it’ll answer questions like: “How much did I spend on home improvement this year?” I am willing to pay 💰 for this. Anyone knows if something like this exists? #aitools #apple

Straight from Musk’s playbook: “Be hardcore or leave.” Prioritizing work over personal life will only accelerate burnout within the workforce, ultimately leading to diminished performance and poor long-term outcomes.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned employees Tuesday that the company is planning to push out “low performers” faster — a move that will lead to thousands of job cuts in a layoff that could affect 5 percent of the company.

If you’re shocked by Zuckerberg’s latest move, welcome to America, where the motto is ‘In Profits We Trust.’ Let’s be real: corporate America doesn’t run on principles—it runs on margins. Chasing money is the only priority at the top. #kissingthering

Anyone else is noticing a very buggy handoff experience with their AirPod Pro Max lately? Like it would just stop responding after I switch between the Netflix app and YouTube music for example.
