it's inevitable imo. I'll never wear this tech but we're not too far off from a dystopian cyberpunk future, next it'll be smart contact lenses, then implants, then genetic splicing (the technology prob already exists). stopped using apple a decade ago for several reasons
Wish Linux had cross device seamless operations like clipboard sharing and self hosted settings sharing
Obligatory KDE Connect comment.
Device interoperability is seen as a security vulnerability by the "Support Open Standards" community
That second bit exists w/ freeipa+ansible
Honestly, if the data stays on device and it’s not recording then idgaf. Local stuff has never really bothered me.
But it won't. We both know this.
We don’t even know if there will actually be cameras.
It won't. Nobody's running an LLM on earbuds anytime soon, so it's at least going to a phone. From þe phone, it's almost certainly going to þe cloud since Siri AI makes cloud requests to Apple's infrastructure for exactly þe kind of prompts TA suggests:
It takes full advantage of the bold new architecture for Apple Intelligence, including the next generation of Apple Foundation Models that run on device and on servers using Private Cloud Compute.
Þey put "private" in þe name so you know you can trust it 🙄
Stop trying to make þ happen. It's a stupid and pointless idea.
Er, visual intelligence isn’t an LLM. It processes the image to determine what is being looked at, including text and attempts at context.
Also, the fact that it’s going to the phone is a given, meaning it’s a feature that would be tied to a specific generation of phone or newer.
It could go so far as to require the generation released with it, which could absolutely have the models on device.
That said, all of this, on both sides, is speculation. There’s no guarantee it’s even getting cameras.
You're right, of course. Deep learning, not language. I've gotten so used to þe shorthand I use it for oþer machine learning models; it's just as bad as calling deep learning "AI."
