On net, I find I typically end up liking these overhauls after gaining some experience with them, and I'm sure this will be the same.

Two things can be true at once. Apple’s historical strength as a company has been to pull together existing technologies into a coherent, useful, and elegantly designed product. So it makes sense that they would view an LLM as a technology that they…

Updating apps for Apple silicon is the kind of thing that an AI assistant should be very good at. One of the most important AI tools that Apple needs to release is Swift Assist.

Porting games seems like exactly the kind of thing that could be made radically less expensive with AI development tools. But there needs to be examples to train the AI. Apple should offer to pay for game ports in exchange for the rights to train a…

I’m not necessarily opposed to a fresh coat of paint. And making the UI more consistent in appearance across devices can be a positive. There are also some new features here and there that seem like genuinely useful improvements. But the elephant …

This is a descriptive study masquerading as an impact study. The really interesting question is how much larger world GDP is with the App Store than without it. In the absence of the App Store, a lot of the commerce would have happened anyway, eithe…

Asserting that Apple isn’t behind is equivalent to admitting you don’t use an LLM for productive purposes. It’s like people in 1996 arguing that cooperative multitasking is just as good as preemptive multitasking. Such people just hadn’t used a pre…
