I talk about tech and some travel.
Ain't that the truth: To start, nothing seems to work anymore.

It's the end of the internet as we know it—and I feel fine
Maybe this was the last year of the usable web. If so, blame corporate greed.

In a pre-release review of OpenAI's o1 model this year, testers set a "strong goal" for the model and then presented it with "unambiguous evidence its given goal diverges from the goal of its developer/user." #tech #openai #scheme #con #artists

Apple Intelligence is sold without being available. Then when it is, it does this. We are getting conned by Tim Cook. #apple #tech #ios

No more iPhones for me. I mean, I keep the 15 pro as a paperweight, but it's not even nice to look at. #google #iphone #android #ios

So after paying ~$50 to Apple, which already includes News+ (so we don’t pay separate subscriptions) now they also want us to fork out an extra $12 for subscription within News+. Yeah, canceling it all. #apple #news #tech #cancelled

Matthew Green, cryptographer at Johns Hopkins:

"The idea that phones should reboot periodically after an extended period with no network is absolutely brilliant and I'm amazed if indeed Apple did it on purpose.”

A day later update: the novelty quickly faded away and I find no real use for Apple Playground or Genmoji. It’s fun, but not good enough to use. Teeth, eyes and other features are off. And even if they were perfect, it would take too many steps to use it as reactions to a msg convo.
✅ Finally got Early Access to Apple Playground to create Genmojis and pretty much any image in cartoon or drawing styles. ✨ #tech #ai

First try of ChatGPT through Apple Intelligence (on-device processing) failed. It’s in Developer Beta, so I assume it will eventually work. It took a while to process, for it to finally come back with an error notice. The prompt was fairly basic; Siri-type of softball. #tech #ios #android #gemini
