Knicks fans know how OKC feels right now. The state of Indiana would like to thank the NBA players who called Tyrese Haliburton the "most overrated" player in the league. Halliburton just won the opening game of the NBA finals for the Pacers with less than a second left against the highly favored Thunder, in Oklahoma City. Doing that shit is a habit he has. Give it to him: the dude is clutch.
About face. The only fix for my face showing up on social media when I promote a blog post that has no image is to get a new theme for the blog—specifically one that I edit in block rather than classic mode. (That's WordPress talk.) So I am learning block editing on a practice blog. Stay tuned for the change.
I don't know why. What are the balls on Prague’s spires called?? was posted here in 2015 and still gets about five new reads every day.
More bad news. Wired: The Quantum Apocalypse Is Coming. Be Very Afraid.
It's personal. Like your hair or your shoes. Here is a comment I posted today in this Linkedin thread, slightly edited:
The Meeker report is here https://www.bondcap.com/reports/tai and is 339 slides.
Look at slide 30. What's not there is personal AI that gives you ways to get control over the data in your life: what you own, where you've been, what you subscribe to (on what, how, and on what terms), how you save/invest/spend, what you've agreed to, how you are being followed and by what, who you know and how, facts about your health and fitness, all your obligations. There are apps and tools for some of that stuff, but not much of it is integrated, or integratable by you for your own purposes.
Look at Apple Intelligence. The guesswork in your Apple Mail app about what matters to you is often wildly speculative and off-base. Most of what Apple Intelligence seems to be for (or at least what salespeople showed off to my wife in the Apple Store where she bought her new iPhone 16 the other day) is for helping you buy shit, not helping you manage the shit you have. Ask Siri to turn off notifications from one of the apps on your phone, and see what happens. You'll get something like "I don't understand the question," or worse, "Would you like me to ask ChatGPT?"
We can only get personal control with personal AI. Your AI. Simple as that.
