Especially with the way “the law” works now-a-days:

Donors, lobbyists, and ring kissers driving what’s instituted.

This reads like an ad.

Of course they jumped into the race as soon as possible by mentioning ‘Apple Intelligence’ and working on it. But, I think this was more peer pressure than anything else.

Apple’s reliably late to the party most of the time, but they also reliably steal the show. I’m doubtful about OpenAI’s hardware just taking over.

I rather wait and keep using 3rd party models that keep leap frogging themselves and adding features every once in a while, than them just publicly beta testing a bunch of things on my iPhone. If this was the case, we’d see a bunch of people complaining about how terrible the product is and how Claude or GPT or OpenClaw is so much better.

I agree. It’s still being figured out.

My prediction is that Apple is the hardware and platform provider (like it’s always been). We’re not asking them to come up with a better social media, or a better Notion or a better Netflix.

I think their proprietary chips and GPUs are being undervalued.

My feeling is that they’re letting everyone move fast and break things while trailing behind and making safe bets.

Maybe garlic alludes to the working class.

I see where you’re coming from. Some will be empowered to do this. It’s like what the computer allowed but on steroids.

However, I think this only applies to a handful of people. I doubt the average joe goes around wanting to vibe code their own thing most users are “passive”.

I suppose one perspective can be that it's cheaper to pay $20/mo than +$150 for a 45min session. So, "advice" and "opinions" become cheap and accessible. But, does it translate into quality?

I still find it hard to accept boilerplate psychological advice from an LLM.

I think that part of the reason why we gravitate towards other humans is because we assume they've gone through similar experiences. That's why I don't take relationship advice from someone that has never dated someone. An LLM lacks... humanity... it can tell me what the textbook says but life's more nuanced than just tokens.

From my point of view an LLM has access to all the knowledge in the world but lacks the nuance that makes advice valuable in these scenarios.

Interesting.

Would this be a non-solution to a non-problem since there are already therapists out there?

Does it solve the awkwardness of talking to another human?

It's a serious question!? And as dumb as it sounds neither of you could answer it.

Speaking for myself:

FITFO: Figure it the fuck out. Research and take action quickly.

FAFO: Fuck around and find out. Do shit, make mistakes and try again. You’ll at least learn something from this.

FPT: First principles thinking. Learn the basics and build from there.

80/20 Rule: 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
