Reminds me of project CHIP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer)

Hooefully, with better economics.

I bet they forgot to rig the webcams, microphones, seat weight sensors, and infrared desk presence trackers.

Is this like people offering to pay artists with 'exposure?'

They could make Siri change its voice and Genmoji based on the degree of certainty of the response:

  • Trust me: Arnold as Terminator 😎
  • Eehhhh, could be bullshit: shrugging old man meme 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • Just kiddin' here: whacky Jerry Lewis 🤪

They could sell different voice packages. Revive the ringtone market.

THIS is why AI was invented!

Am curious, though, what prompt brought in the bunnies.

Wait. Am I getting this right? They want to inject high-pressure steam and chemicals into a massive underground natural gas reservoir. Then set off a big fire + explosion.

Surely, nothing can go wrong.

Given the amount of money they're looking for, guessing it's for the unreleased products in the pipeline and their patents. Anyone who buys them is not purchasing their v1 product.

On Mac/iOS, Ivory is pretty dope: https://tapbots.com/ivory/

You still need a massive fleet of these to train those multi-billion parameter models.

On the invocation side, if you have a cloud SaaS service like ChatGPT, hosted Anthropic, or AWS Bedrock, these could answer questions quickly. But they cost a lot to operate at scale. I have a feeling the bean-counters are going to slow down the crazy overspending.

We're heading into a world where edge computing is more cost and energy efficient to operate. It's also more privacy-friendly. I'm more enthused about a running these models on our phones and in-home devices. There, the race will be for TOPS vs power savings.

I remember Samsung trying to run a WWDC-like conference in San Francisco many years ago. They were offering free Tizen watches as enticement for developers to show up (AppleWatch devs had to buy their own). None of the professional mobile devs I knew back then said they would go.

As Microsoft found out with WindowsPhone, it's really hard to get traction if you're third.

If my grade school art teacher was correct, they could take some red cranberry juice and add some yellow lemon juice to get the same result.
