@33MHz It was more interesting to me than the pin, or the thing that attaches to your phone. But putting that $200 toward a Teenage Engineering synth might have been better.
@33MHz I think they are mostly trying to get to the consumer without going through the phone makers. The screen is worse (it is touch, but that’s barely supported), the speaker is worse, the camera is worse, I think you can add a SIM, but 🤷.
@33MHz Long term, they claim you’ll be able to train it for custom tasks, like showing it how to perform something on the web, then have it do that for you thereafter. But I don’t believe they’ve launched that yet.
@33MHz It is supposed to be able to tie in to a lot more, but many things I don’t use much, like food delivery. I’m not a fan because the battery life is not good, UI is klunky, it doesn’t automatically reconnect to wifi (and often takes multiple attempts)
@33MHz It launched with a fewer features than expected. I’ve mostly just played with it: play this song, answer this question, ask what this thing the camera is pointed at is.
I totally knew it would not wow me, not right away, but felt the ability to experiment with it, and watch it evolve, was worth it to me. (Plus, I generally like Teenage Engineering.)
@33MHz True about Dall-E. :) I don’t get to use Copilot much since I’m mostly in Xcode these days, and Xcode is kind of hostile to extensions. Hoping for something from Apple in this regard next month at WWDC.
In other news, Gemini just trounced GPT 4o with an issue I’m having where, inside a pre-commit hook, git is reporting files as staged which are not staged.
Not to say the issue is fixed, but at least now I know about the temporary index being in play.
