I don’t mind the changes they are proposing for the Photos app; the current version annoys me as there is no way to sort photos by recent to older. For whatever reason, the oldest photos are on top while the most recent are in the bottom. It drives me mad, at the very least a proper chronological sorting option is very much appreciated. Everything else, I can adjust, since I don’t have a strong Apple Muscle Memory.

Yikes, Taboola is the scummiest advertising company in my opinion! This is such an out of touch move, its likely making them a boat load of money (this is all they care about).

As LLMs haven’t been able to pass a Turing Test, I can’t quite let the ‘AI’ descriptor go unchallenged. It doesn’t sit right with me; I’m not comfortable with the intentional dishonesty that conflating LLMs with AI. However, I do understand your exhaustion with trying to correct that mistake.

As for the usage beyond spellchecking and grammar checking; it is up to an individual if they want to make more usage of it despite the ethical, privacy, and security concerns surrounding LLMs. I made my choice due to this, even that makes me feel occasionally uneasy. Making a decision with all the information is far better than falling for the hype surrounding LLMs at the moment.

If techbros weren’t trying to conflate LLMs with AI, I’d mostly have no issue with them. Still have concerns with the lack of security first and dubious means that are being implemented to gather data. LLMs are a useful spelling and grammar checking tool, so there are practical uses for them.

I wouldn’t yet use them for any other purpose until truly ethical practices are implemented. Also, the weird generative quirks are smoothed out.

Only the techbro shills, the executive class, and a few people who don’t know or care how the sausage is made want AI Bullshit. I want this AI bubble to not only burst, but also burn every techbro and make them shut up. Real AI is going to be a multi-discipline and multigenerational project that will take a lot of time and research to reify. This gassed up LLM bullshit is not it!
