Apple perfected the trackpad to the point where a touchscreen never felt necessary; and that’s how they got away with not building one.
This feels more like a marketing gimmick, anyone remember the Touch Bar?

Not affiliated in any way, just found this benchmark interesting and worth sharing.

If you haven't read this yet, read it now. It hits differently in the age of AI.

I can't wait for AI watermark checks to be widely available to stop such guessworks and the resulting ridicule. I'm not saying you're wrong, your guess could be.
Yeap, probably EU's gonna be a different game for Apple Watch 12.
> In fairly certain there are a non-zero amount of laws prohibiting audio recording without consent
But it's not audio recording. It's a text (which is obtained from an audio by a not so accurate system and thus not admissible in court).
This is frustrating. Just to beat the competition and make a few extra bucks, they’re willing to destroy a century’s worth of human knowledge (good or bad).
With all due respect, I would say it wouldn’t hurt not to downplay this.
Amazing project, I love it!
One naive concern, though: this seems to make it very easy to spread malware. Someone could add malicious code to a compressed app, share the slide with others, and have it propagate. What are your thoughts on this?
I guess this will happen soon. There are two catalysts needed for this to happen:
1. Evals that can quickly tell you how much downside there is to switching
2. Something like OpenRouter that can help you run those evals quickly
Now #2 is starting to become popular, and I think we'll soon see more people adopting a model-agnostic approach. Of course, there will still be high-intelligence use cases where nothing comes close to Claude or GPT.
Here's an anecdotal thought: AML laws surprisingly work well to discourage offline transactions by tax-paying citizens, helping maximize tax reporting and improve tax collection. As a result, governments continue to strengthen and expand laws in that direction.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
I don't think any company is cutting headcount because of AI. I think that's just what they say. The reality is that they're facing a cash crunch due to a bad economy. And if you state a cash crunch as the reason, your stock will fall or VCs will run away. But surprisingly, if you state AI as the reason for layoffs, your stock will rise or VCs will get excited. Same thing, just different clothes, and it works.
Sorry, but that’s not the correct analogy. There’s such a thing as taste, and only 1 out of 10 people can get it right, while 9 out of 10 can get code right.

I just built this with a basic set of guardrails and a limited skillset, and it’s still pretty rough around the edges.I’d really appreciate any feedback.It’s free for the first few users — you can use the invite code DEMO34.Note: This is experimental and not fully tested. It can and will make mistakes, so use it carefully, especially in important or sensitive email threads.
This reminds me of the book title "Fooling some of the people, all of the time".

This is impressive!
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry for the bad experience. The blocking of Firefox is not intentional. It's a decade old code and seems to be breaking on Firefox.
Sorry, the app is not available anywhere, it's old code. But you can play it on web-browsers.
Sorry for the bad experience. This was build many years ago, and those nudges to ask user to download the apps are from that time. Though, there's no app, the code is not updated since then.

Built and open-sourced in the era before AI. I’m sure you know where to find the code.
"cd -" is a lifesaver. Thank you so much for this.
The most sensible continent on this planet...
I think every moderator on every platform is struggling with this issue, and no one has succeeded so far, so it doesn’t seem that easy.
I think a simple solution (and one that eventually every content platform will have to adopt) is to allow users to tag AI-generated spam. I think that a few years from now this feature should be the norm, like existing basic features on forums such as upvote, downvote, favorites, hide, etc. I know this will require much more development effort than simply blocking new accounts from posting at all. But on the other hand, you can’t block new accounts forever.
Thanks for sharing. This is very interesting.
Watching this, I realised one thing: Germans, once upon a time phenomenally intelligent folks, got eroded by a bunch of stupid politicians’ ambitions.
