Are you telling me Apple hasn't seen through the grift and is approaching this with an open mind just to learn how full off bullshit most of the claims from the likes of Altman are? And now they're sharing their gruesome discoveries with everyone while they're unveiling them?

I would argue that Apple Intelligence™️ is evidence they never bought the grift. It's very focused on tailored models scoped to the specific tasks that AI does well; creative and non-critical tasks like assisting with text processing/transforming, image generation, photo manipulation.

The Siri integrations seem more like they're using the LLM to stitch together the API's that were already exposed between apps (used by shortcuts, etc); each having internal logic and validation that's entirely programmed (and documented) by humans. They market it as a whole lot more, but they market every new product as some significant milestone for mankind ... even when it's a feature that other phones have had for years, but in an iPhone!

What's an example of a claim Altman has made that you'd consider bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The entirety of "open" ai is complete bullshit. They're no longer even pretending to be nonprofit at all and there is nothing "open" about them since like 2018.

That's not a claim, it's the name of the company. I'm not aware of Altman being the one who even came up with it.
