Would really like Siri AI to have an MCP server
To like, talk to Siri through Claude?

#182Kinda love that Tim said his goodbyes with a rainbow in the background. Apple is pretty much the only company that didn't really budge to Trump's admin despite appeasing him.
Except that he validated Trump by giving him gold trinkets and donated $1M to his inauguration. Cook is an enabler.
That's what I meant by "seemingly".

#183Yoof, that reframing is interesting but took LONG
It’s fully local though
Re: Apple WWDC 2026
#184Honestly, I’m more excited about a faster and more polished OS than any new feature they announced.

#185Bye Tim, thanks for making tech fun the past 10 years. No new hardware, feels like the party is over. Thanks Altman for the greed.
Has there ever been hardware launched at WWDC? It's a developer conference, not a hardware launch. Hardware is in the fall.

The audience was the only thing they couldn't control - so they got rid of the audience.
Their audience are no longer the people in the room. The audience is the people watching the video or livestream which is great because that means you don't need thousands of dollars and an invite to go to WWDC.
When the keynotes still had audiences there was also a livestream. Here, have a WWDC 2007 for kicks:

#187Spatial Framing? Yay, even more fakeness in photos, creating ever more artificial, never-happened memories!
There's something dystopian about the way that they are championing the blurring of the lines between photos and AI generated content with no consideration for the implications of that tech. Apple likes to pretend they are conservative with this tech rather than simply being behind, but this type of thing isn't a conservative feature.
There will be a generation of children who will grow up and look back at their childhood photos and wonder if they ever really happened.
I also laughed out loud when they are showing the "cleanup" tool and they guy is talking about removing "distractions" and then removes 2 of the 3 girls juggling and having fun.
Ah yes, those friends you were forming core memories with, or as our tech overlords call them, distractions.

#188"Siri AI will not be available in E.U. until we figure out privacy" Funny to hear that after they mentioned how seriously they are taking privacy every 37 seconds.
It seemed like it's available on macOS but not on iOS. That means it's not privacy related, it's something else.
It's because of the DMA. [1]
The "privacy" angle here is that Apple wants to give Siri access to user data across the system, without offering any way for competitors to get at that data.

Re: Apple WWDC 2026
#189They try so hard to do a polished presentation that everything is kinda fake and unauthentic. I don't understand how this attitude survived so many years.
It seems very disturbing in the current environment somehow, like nothing bad ever happens in Apple world, when in reality many things are falling apart.
For example the part about cameras, where they seem to advertise them not as security products but as a lifestyle aid.
The rehearsed marketing is so strong that it comes across in a very perverse way.

Not by much. ChatGPT alone is among the most popular apps ever made, and it's available both inside and outside Apple's walled garden. Letting it reach audience in countries where Apple doesn't have much of a foothold. I do wonder if new Siri is any good though. Apple used to be a genuine AI leader, but they totally sleepwalked through LLM revolution, and Siri's response quality was a sad joke for a while now. Did th…
> they totally sleepwalked through LLM revolution I don't think so, i don't think they want to be in the LLM laboratory business. They just want to leverage the technology to make money not invent it. Hence the reason why they made a deal with Google to license Gemini, let OpenAI and Anthropic fight it out while Apple just keeps making sales. I think they're betting that in the long run LLMs become a commodity more o…
They wanted to be. Thus their investment into Siri in the first place. A revolutionary system - for year 2011. As well as bleeding edge advances in computational photography, photogrammetry, etc.
They just completely failed at capturing the modern chatbot wave.
They tried to catch up multiple times and, ultimately, gave up on doing it in house. Not because they didn't try, but because they tried and found themselves lacking.
