https://manifold.markets/nathanwei/will-the-un-declare-a-famine-in-gaz Can't believe I got rug pulled by the UN. What a joke. I forecasted that the UN wouldn't declare a famine in Gaza because a real famine requires 2 deaths per 10k, which works out to ~420 deaths per day. The chances of this happening are insanely low and you've been brain rotted by your news feed if you think it is. What I failed to factor in was the possibility that the UN would just change its definition of what a famine is by removing the 2 deaths 10k requirement completely. The situation in Gaza is definitely bad, but focusing this much on what words we use to describe it (genocide, famine) is not helpful and distracts from the actual situation on the ground. Semantics are stupid, just focus on the facts.

Kinda can't believe Taylor is actually getting married. What will all those celebrity shows do now that they can't speculate on her love life?

Are you going to rename your living room now?

Fair enough. It’s on-device so it doesn’t really concern me, and I doubt most people care either way, but it’s easy to disable if it really does freak you out. I would still count it as Apple going out of its way to keep private information on your own device rather than uploading it to some AWS bucket to log forever like most companies would.

4chan really pulling out the big guns here. They’re threatening to call on daddy Trump. The letter translated from legalese pretty much just reads “Do you even know who my dad is?”

Oh I see what you mean. I assumed you meant data for Apple’s LLM training. But yes in iOS there’s the Siri Intents framework. AFAIK it’s all on device and not very invasive. It sounds good in theory—suggesting common actions in apps—but in practice for me at least it’s rarely useful.

I don’t think they train on private user data. For a bit when Apple was trying to get into the LLM game they had their own scraper running to get data.

We need more EQ benchmarks. I bet there are way more normies who want capabilities like this than nerds who just want to write code.

Prob true, any suggestions for better results?

Note to self: never ask an LLM for flirting suggestions. It'll take a while for capabilities to improve enough to become useful. Just wrote a Python script to extract messages from a conversation in iMessages, then fed it into an LLM to get feedback and suggestions as a test. After reading LLM flirting suggestions I think I might die of cringe. I have never felt such a strong urge to gag while reading non-NSFW text.
