I haven’t seen the details but apparently Apple may not be paying OpenAI for the ChatGPT functionality. So macOS may not be using ChatGPT heavily.

Facebook conspiracy theorist grannies suggest that employment isn’t required.

Next: “Are you coming to the baptism of little Deductio Tributus?”

I suspect quite a few of them are going to be unalived in the next 30 years, given the way things are going politically in various countries.

Could be many millions, especially if Modi’s India gets really bad and it overflows into Pakistan.

“Cathedral Central”

I hate ‘edge’ in its new form as pseudotechnical marketing guff. Frex, “AI-driven MCU market surge sparks innovation in global and Chinese firms for edge AI”
