S05E06 "Frazzling"

Diddly Squat is basking in a sunny spell. There're baby animals aplenty, the high-tech crops are coming along nicely and there's a big night at the pub to look forward to. The only question is, when does a sunny spell become a drought?

I hope all of the other engineers took the tvOS guy out to lunch to celebrate WWDC.

Last note on AI for today, w.r.t. energy.

Every computer uses power. The apps we use, SaaS apps in data centers, etc. This is fine, provided that the use provides real utility. For crypto, energy complaints are relevant, as it provides little utility.

If you give this first generation of AI tools a real shot at enhancing your day-to-day, you’ll quickly see real utility *now* and potential for even more.

Push for renewables and regulation requiring data centers to reduce carbon footprint, don’t kneecap the future.

Also, the notion that you can’t have fantastic results with generative models training on only content you have permission to use is ridiculous. OpenAI and Meta are bad actors that are disengenuous. Its *easier* to get good results with ethical shortcuts, but you can acehieve amazing results without stealing.

Unsurprising, but also disappointing, to see a lot of scoffing at Apple’s AI announcements. I’m excited for the future, especially if tech giants can drive ethical/responsible use of generative models to change our relationship with computers. Acknowledge the challenges and push for responsible use.

But, here we are, inching closer to the finish line. We’re over the hump, and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 🙏

Chemo treatment 7 of 12 today for my wife. Treatment 6 was tough. She had to take an extra “off” week, which featured severe neutropenia and a late-night trip to the ER for emergency IV fluids, including antibiotics to prevent sepsis, and to address tachycardia and a scary 170+ heart rate.
