Gus Mueller thinks Apple needs to get out of the way with AI:

The crux of the issue in my mind is this: Apple has a lot of good ideas, but they don’t have a monopoly on them. I would like some other folks to come in and try their ideas out. I would like things to advance at the pace of the industry, and not Apple’s.

Good post. I included several quotes in my post this morning and would’ve added Gus’s post too. Experimenting with LLMs running locally is perfect for developers who build Mac apps. Maybe third-party developers need a convention to download and share models between apps?

@tylerknowsnothing The "AI switch" is basically Micro.blog's approach with the checkbox to disable it across the platform for your account. Would be interesting if Apple provided a system API for that.

@manton That checkbox was one of the things that convinced me to try out this platform.

@manton Oh. That I've been aware of and leave it on for ingesting image uploads, but I always have to edit them. Which reminds me, is there no way to edit them in the backend? I always have to edit the HTML output, which leaves the auto-generated description on the object itself.
