“Fable” is so much “weaker” word than “Opus”. It’s like something slightly higher than “Sonnet”.

Will foldable iPhone be called Origami?

Apple's UI is so "raw", it looks like ChatGPT (can't believe i'm saying this, because OpenAI tried to copy Apple).

Apple started using hand-held cameras to make recording look more human and cinematic, apparently because it was "too clinical" before.

Not many people can work with high-performers. They are meant to be bad with instruction following for the sake of multiplying gains. The problem with “high performing” LLM is that their gains are not multiplicative, as they are not creative. They HAVE to stay within “generic” range to be perceived as useful. But the problem is that they behave like high-performers and avoid following the instructions for the sake of their own genius. So you get overly opinionated, mid-creative worker, which is worse than both “chaotic creative” and “reliable follower”.

You can debate with LLM about code. You can't debate with LLM about design. They don't get it.

There were so many launches of new products and concepts, but every time I ask people of what they use, they always fall back to almost default apps. Wildly different dynamic to "apps" era.

Opus = iPhone xhigh = Pro Fast Mode = Max New model releases remind me of iPhone releases: 1. The number of phone/model changes regularly 2. All benchmarks went up 3. But you still use them as before and new changes stop affecting you much 4. They keep improving camera/benchmarks, which is a reason to upgrade 5. But sometimes benchmarks worsen the product (like camera processing)

I have consistent price range between 1k and 2k and I'm turning them all down, because I can only criticize and complain. It will keep me poor.

I don't care if it's final or not. There are hundreds of apps that are still doing this. There are hundreds of designers who are still doing this. This message was to highlight the problem of this UI, because it's not Siri exclusive.

Being optimistic doesn't mean we should stop give critical feedback to work. Work thrives on feedback. So if the car looks bad, people should say it's bad, so the company would correct themselves and reach optimistic outcomes. Supporting poor design in the name of positivity would lead to bad design (we've been there many times last couple of decades).

It looks like a car, that wealthy person would buy it's nanny to do the chores.

The irony of the current state of ai, is that bureaucracy was always an enemy of productivity, but it might become a new moat. If "abundant creation" is unlocked, the bureaucracy would help shape the creative process and decide what's worth building. Of course it will not appear as "bureaucracy", it will sound something like "Tastemaker Genius" or some sh.

If LLM will stop being lazy, we can have truly amazing graphics, that would tell so many stories about world in numbers. But everyone who read Tufte books, will immediately spot how many shortcuts LLM take to not do the hard work and just skip to visualizing couple of axes.

UI is here to stay. People, who said "NO UI" were wrong 20 years ago, 10 years ago and will be wrong in 10 years too. (I had to write this tweet to embed it to an article, so it would get timestamped and referenced in the future)

In December I built the app that helps me 400× times per day. I know it's stupidly simple, but my skin really got better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ apps.apple.com/gb/app/brrrrr…

It never was.

Still waiting for Nokia comeback.
