This is an interesting model. I have an embodied AI companion app on the App Store that uses Gemini 2.0 Flash. However, I've been searching for a model that is comparable to 2.0 Flash in cost with more creative and less repetitive outputs. The frontier labs have only gone up in cost and latency, and are ignoring use cases like this. This seems promising, I plan to try it in production.

Capital
That's not even close to remotely true. If that is the case, why is the UAE throwing their money at US startups and not their own? They have more than enough "capital".
Some valid points, but the compiler isn't Xcode and Swift isn't able to check the expression. Imho in these cases it's the developers lack of insight into how SwiftUI works, but otoh Apple often doesn't help with obtaining the insight..
They will also silently stop supporting some piece of library you rely on, leave it broken in some way or another, and just leave you on your own.
However, it has its good sides. The profiling tools are great for example. And I would rather work on 10 difficult problems with Xcode than on 1 with Visual Studio..
Agreed, it's not that bad imo and the profiling tools are amazing.

It is a pitty that
- GCC switched from C to C++
- CUDA switched from C to C++
But I can understand the decision, and at that time , C++ frontend features and libs were a little bit less horrible.
It's a pity?
Please explain in detail how alternatives would have worked better for GCC and CUDA. Also, if you could share some historical context about how those alternatives could realistically have been implemented at the time, that would be helpful too.
I love to hear all the "would've" and "should've" scenarios.

News stories about women using Replika as a companion make the rounds every once in a while: https://www.thecut.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-ch...
Well, there is an app called Tolan (alien AI friend) that has been very successful and the devs have said that 80% of the users are young women.
I myself have released an app in this realm a few days ago, it's very much a work in progress, but my goal was to let the AI feel more like a computer and less like a companion/boyfriend. I think the relationships these companies are pushing will be harmful in the long term.

IMO current generation models are capable of creating significantly better than "slop" quality content. You need only look at NotebookLM output. As models continue to improve, this will only get better. Look at the rate of improvement of video generation models in the last 12-24 months. It's obvious to me we're rapidly approaching acceptable or even excellent quality on-demand generated content.
This is exactly while I'm building my app now with the expectation that these assets will be exponentially better in the short term.
Of all the recent books I've read about AI, this was by far the worst.
The Singularity is Nearer, Life 3.0, and A Brief History of Intelligence were much much much better imho

Interesting. How do we explain the missing mass in the galaxies then (the observed rotation curve of galaxies needs a bigger mass than that of the stars that it is made of)?
Quantized Inertia is a new theory that works and is interesting. Although, not rigorous and is speculative at best
