Considering that Siri has been absolutely useless on most part with little innovation, especially compared to the latest AI stuff, i sure hope Apple makes proper use of their hardware for AI

Just wanted to say hi, and thanks. I enjoy your tweets and posts about your passion. (and mine -Open AI, Midjourney...)

Thank you Paul! Really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Makes my day when people engage and contribute to the dialog here.

Whats one thing that you'd like me to do more of?

I enjoy the prompt engineering with a ChatGPT and Midjourney cross-over, to make better pics. (How to get ChatGPT to write a prompt to input into Midjourney and get an incredible picture back. Without user input. https://pau1.substack.com/p/ai-ai-oh)

I would like you to keep doing what you are doing. You are a good teacher! I think that the more people use and embrace the technology, the less they will worry out of "it's gonna take everybody's job!"

Such a well thought-out scenario. Past performance is not indicative of future outcomes, but I also see a clear parallel in the way smartphones became a commodity in our world. With Palm and Blackberry, smartphones were used by the elite on Wall Street and in the Valley. But with the iPhone and Android, 2008-10 became an inflection point that led to rapid development and adoption of smartphones. The world we live in today where everyone has a mini computer in their pocket was barely imaginable in even 2005.

Similarly, now with LLMs and Diffusion models acting as the primary drivers, and with "miniaturization" initiatives such as Stanford's work on Alpaca, it seems more likely than ever that powerful hardware like the M series of chips will bring this power to the end consumer really quickly. The neural engines on M chips or even Google's Tensor chips are ready made for such applications and all it will take is 1-2 generations for the hardware to get insanely capable at the edge.

This world is on its way and I'm looking forward to its arrival.

Just makes you think - if the applications that are running on a supercomputer today will run on a consumer device tomorrow; what kinds of outrageous applications will tomorrow's supercomputers be running? 🤯

Infinite Intelligence at runtime in a super computer... Are we still talking about actual nano-meter chips or are we at Qbits?

I think it's starting to become extremely easy to spot that we don't do well with Moore's Law at this point in the curve, humans up to today has had the luxury of technology slowly (or fast) chugging along. But we're now at the second part of the chess board and the doublings from here on out are extreme, each 2 year cycle will be more insane than the last.

Innovation is happening at all fronts, software, hardware, runtime, energy – the only thing not keeping up is the human brain, but even there with madmen such as Elon we might have a direct brain interface 15 years from now that allows us to tap into a stream of Artificial Intelligence.

The future is looking to be a mad place.

Thank you so much for commenting, and sadly I agree that it might come with a hefty price tag. Let's see what Apple have in store. Competition is high, so think it will be interesting, the consumer is the winner in the end.
