  On one hand, it’s inane how hard Anthropic is trying to anthropomorphize Claude with these experiments and scenarios. It’s still just a chatbot. On the other hand, as these products inch closer to demonstrating true intelligence, we’ll be glad someone was at least thinking about the implications during the early stages of development.

  You can easily sync your personal music collection to your iOS device using the macOS “Music” app in tandem with the Finder, or using iTunes on Windows. I’ve not explored the options on Linux, but I suspect they’re out there.

  I’ve got a personal collection that’s growing steadily, mostly from CDs and digital purchases. I do not use steaming services, and my iPhone is my primarily listening device.

  I am generally opposed to the integration of generative AI in consumer hardware, since it doesn’t have much practical utility at this point.

  However, the features described in this article mostly have to do with extracting information from images. This is actually quite useful! For example, macOS allows users to select text and automatically mask objects from images. It’s a feature I use heavily and wish other operating systems had good support for.

  In a world where unfettered Internet access has completely eroded our ability to form connections with others, the solution to loneliness couldn’t possibly be anything but more screen time 🤦🏽‍♂️

  Human innovation scales up quite well. Some people were lucky enough to have a say on the design of this systems that changed the world. It’s unfortunate that they let greed erode their humanity.

  Yeah. Maybe, in this fantasy world, you can port your address to different branches the same way you might transfer your phone number between carriers. My phone number area code reflects where I lived when I got my first phone. It does not correspond with where I currently live. The same could be true of email addresses in this scenario.

  I sometimes like to imagine a future where your local library provides email addresses to card holders

  I use Arctic on iOS, and the web interface on desktop

  That’s what I get for being a hater 🤣

  AGI apparently doesn’t mean anything anymore

  Or maybe… hire a diverse set of journalists to cover different points of view???

  That’s quite the oxymoron

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What this administration fails to understand is that the USA currently lacks the workforce to be self-sufficient in semiconductors. Cutting off the supply of chips via tariffs and constricting federal funds to foundries isn’t going to magically make the country a semiconductor powerhouse. We’ve got the capability to build fabrication sites, sure. What we need is a workforce—people with graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering. And that’s going to take time. This whole ordeal is sloppy and embarrassing

  My thoughts exactly… If there’s a FOSS tool to check, then we’d be talking.
