See the stories about lawye…

One of the "lawyer pwned by LLM" cases appeared to be confusion about the difference between Google search, and Google Bard, thinking that Bard was just a next-generation Google search so asking it for relevant legal citations would find actual citations. The lawyer wasn't an LLM enthusiast, he didn't even know that an LLM was involved.

That's how these things are marketed, so that's probably not an uncommon scenario.

I feel like the R1 is getting a lot of weird hate here on HN. I get it, it's a bit pretentious and wants to be very Apple-like, yadda yadda. Probably not that much value generation, it's overpriced, and no one wants to carry another thing in their pocket. And yes, the company will likely go bankrupt (or pivot into something less exciting). It's also all in the cloud (no local inference) so it doesn't really even "do"…

I think the hate is that the website and the promotion videos are too advanced to the point where there were no MVPs, progress, or found limitations in between. On the other hand, the terms they used are too strong to be true. Are they building an OS from the ground up, or just calling ChatGPT API to do stuff and calling it an OS?

And of course, looking at Linkedin, the founder(s) are NOT convincing either.

Haven't seen anyone mention just how bad the website design is here. The homepage ran at single-digit FPS on my (pretty powerful) laptop, and I noticed performance hits where there really shouldn't have been. Besides that, there are too many animations where a few sentences or pictures would do. Elsewhere, thick walls of text, sometimes barely indistinguishable in color from the background. The site seems to be an om…

On my phone, I get a big "Share" button right in front of the keynotes video player. It also prevents me from skipping around the video, no way I'm watching all of that.

I tried to go into landscape to fix it, qnd I get a black screen asking me to go back to portait mode.

I don't know how you can get such basic things so wrong.

I think this is Apple's plan for the apple watch. I see my gf leave the house without her beloved iphone, making calls, listening to messages etc with her airpods connected to her watch. She doesn't even touch it.

I might even have tried it myself if Siri didn't suck to much. My experiments in this regard were...discouraging. Perhaps she radically restricts her use to things Siri understands (unlikely in her case) or she just knows how to speak in a way aligned to siri's expectations).

Though the other night I did awake to her her firmly saying "flashlight. flashlight. flashlight." for a bit followed by "shit" and a bit of fumbling at her wrist.

It's a striking condemnation of the current state of things that my $1K+ mobile phone does not do anything close to what's in this demo. I would pay $200 just to have a voice assistant that isn't totally incapable of playing songs requested like "Play SONG_TITLE from ALBUM_TITLE". As an example, yesterday my daughter asked for a song from Snow White. EDITED FOR CORRECTNESS (originally I said I asked for Heigh Ho from…

I got it to work with Siri but had to give it a slightly different prompt. “Play Heigh-Ho from Disney’s Snow White soundtrack,” seems to work.

Edit: I tried it a couple of more times with the same prompt and this is not consistently reproducible, so yeah, Siri is still pretty bad at this.

The keynote is near science fiction, but the actual implementation is leaving me badly confused. - Did it really scan the whole table to add a new column? As in, OCR?

I'm not sure where the founder is from, but seems like he has Asian connections. And over there these type of super app (WeChat) that can do everything for you is quite very common. It would also make sense to centralise everything if it wasn't because this 800 lb of surveillance capitalism gorilla elephant in our metaphorical internet room.

I think most of the Chinese VCs won't touch him anymore. :P

Most of these questions become irrelevant when you recognise that most of these kind of companies were most likely created to be purchased by Apple or Google.
