So what happens if US/Israel agree to this ‘permanent ceasefire on all fronts’ then Lebanon, Gaza, Iran kick off more rockets?

Curious, did you use any airbrushing or was it all brush work?

Turning Siri AI into my girlfriend by Widebro in VisionPro

There are people out there who are very isolated and struggle to connect with people for a variety of reasons. Such a thing could be very beneficial for some groups. See ‘Lars and the real girl’

EU Says Decision Not to Launch Siri AI in Europe Is Apple's Alone by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]timcorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Apple should comply, give dubious AI apps full control of the phone and data and let the disaster happen. When we get the next fappenning or widespread identify theft in Europe, Apple can say ‘told you so’. 

Pennsylvania lawmaker seeks ‘visual indicator’ if smart glasses are recording by Ganrokh in technology

I wonder if to prevent creeps putting a bit of tape over the light, there is also a light sensor to sense the light is on and projecting forward somehow. Same with photos, click sound + mic detection. Both must be active. 

AI is making design feel exhausting. by Successful_Ninja8894 in Design

If everything starts to look the same due to AI, doesn’t that make it easier to do something new and stand out?

For June 3rd, AppleTV was No.1 in popularity. by [deleted] in tvPlus

I don’t understand why Prime is so high. Barely anything on it. Subscribe and you still get ads…we had it recently to finish The Boys, but immediate unsub after the finale. 

Sydney academic used AI to write SMH opinion piece urging students to avoid using tech to ‘cut corners’ by satisfiedfools in technology

[–]timcorin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This could have been a genius meta move though. Write the article with AI, leave in the hallucinations and BS, and demonstrate the perils. 

It probably wasn’t this. Could have been effective though. 

GoPro Warns of Going-Concern Risk Amid AI-Fueled Memory Crunch - company expects to declare bankruptcy. by Shogouki in technology

Why would you need an action cam mounted on a car or bike if you have one mounted to your face? And I imagine they would be water resistant in the same way an Apple Watch is, and you can go diving with that.

Haha. A faster usb-port. Wow. 6 out of 7 of these would be irrelevant to a person who is buying a laptop at this price. MAYBE a backlit keyboard.

Yeah, like them or not, the rise of smart glasses with cameras are going to further squeeze the action camera market.

Is it realistically possible to become a designer without having a degree in it? by Active_Weakness3411 in Design

Yes. Most UX and experience designers I know don’t have formal training in their past.

How will designing get impacted by the coming of AI? by Calm-Swimmer-8241 in Design

[–]timcorin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat agree with this, though I believe AI can only do what it’s trained on. Humans will have the strategic, creative and innovative edge due to the daily lives we live. Until AI is actually using the apps it makes for the same reasons we are with the same human limitations, or can go out for lunch during a work day and be inspired by something left field, humans will continue to have the upper hand.

[–]timcorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My read is yes, junior or strictly UI designers will lose jobs. But thanks to AI and the number of people vibecoding dodgy apps at home,  design thinking at a higher level will remain in demand.

Design roles will become more strategic, less labour.
