    I am tired to fight against every platform that I have to use

    De macify Mac Degoogle Android Demacify ipad DeLLM chrome browsers local llm

    Can we expect sane decisions from corpos about what we want rather than what latest thing they want to push on us?

      Apple says their users make 2.5B Siri requests per day. Sounds like people want it?

        i wonder how many of them are like 100% of my requests?

        - "set a timer for 14 minutes"

        - "remind me to make a doctor's appointment tomorrow at noon"

        - "turn off the bedroom lights"

        that don't require any form of AI and have functioned perfectly well (aside from having a hard time when i mumble) for years on non-AI versions of Siri?

          Siri was always AI, but the popular connotation of "AI" changes all the time. It now means "LLMs built with transformers."
