Apple: We're going to build an incrediably powerful AI than runs locally on your phone.

Users: Hey Siri, set a 30 minute timer.

Source: The author's wild speculation.

On the one hand, gaming is one of the few industries where generative AI can have a big impact on producitivity today. It's easy to be cynical, but used well it could reverse the trend of excessively expensive AAA game development.

On the other hand, who would trust the CEO of EA / EA in general not to do all the wrong things with AI to save a buck.

TL;DR: Generative could help a lot, but big publishers will use it the worse ways possible.

Nokia 3310 would be cheaper

I feel like the correct answer is proper oversight of how the system is used, not a blanket shutdown in case it's misused. Perhaps these charities who complaining should be involved in that?

The goal of the service seems sensible, especially when you consider how often public services have made serious mistakes due to "information silos".

The open source Docker Compose deployment is unaffected.

Security updates on the last available version of the Kubernetes deployment will continue for at least the next 12 months.

Can't see myself paying $5.99 for one of these, but it's nice. I appreciated the fun messages in the progress bar.

PS: Congrats on the little one. :D

It's almost like he didn't want to buy it after all, but not he's kind of stuck with it...

This is quite a flawed and obviously biased analysis.

To use just one example. If the UK hadn't had locked down when it did, it's likely the entire health service would have collapsed, leading to more excess AND Covid deaths.

Unlike the author, I don't pretend to have the answer, but anyone with a functioning brain can see this "analysis" is without merit.

In isolation, no. But this + someone explicitly saying Musk told them he spoke to Putin is more convincing.

This is all a bit of a side show, though, for all the reasons you outlined.

Car congestion makes public transport and other less polluting forms transport (e.g. walking, cycling) less effective / attractive.

Public transport is the most efficient way to increase bandwidth.

And yet his ability to repeat Russian propaganda tropes was uncannily accurate...

Income gets reinvested in the transport infrastructure, e.g. public transport.

Ultimately, only public transport can "solve" congestion and air pollution. It was interesting to see Uber references heavily in this. Uber is a significant contributor to increased congestion and pollution in cities, no matter what it might claim.

Yeah. The first few seconds of Rogan talking were pretty decent, but Jobs doesn't sound right at all, mainly because of the dialogue specifically.

But I do kind of get the hype.

All good points. I think the list of universities is rather reductive, but I'd rather have this policy than nothing at all.

Yeah, fair. This is more global in nature and could have been done while we were in the EU, too.

The broader point is this is a salve for the skills shortage caused by leaving the EU.

You've also perfectly illustrated why basing this on an arbitrary top 50 is stupid in the extreme, but this is government we have.

Smart companies will go remote and cut out the middle man, which amusingly the UK gov is discouraging as well.

This is better than nothing, but being in the EU was still better. Sigh.
