>What will AI be doing for us in five years from now?

I don’t know, but the majority of it will be running in data centers, not high end consumer grade workstations.

>Will concerns of privacy increase or decrease in that time?

People have been more concerned about privacy than ever, it hasn’t seemed to stop people from using cloud AI services.

The fact that Apple missed the starting gun on AI to the point that they’re using Googles also inferior Gemini, I’m not compelled these Apple AI chips have a consumer.

Anyone savvy enough to do their own AI hosting is more likely to use Nvdia boxes, etc. Apple workstations always been more successful in Art/Graphic design. That’s why they cut off their server hardware long ago.

>How does Apple plan for that future?

Ideally by making attractive simple products regular users can buy. The iPhone and MacBook Neo seem a step in that direction. AI vision and Apple Vision scream 90s pre-iMac Apple.

How is it going to help them?

Do you really think the average Apple user will use it when there’s already better AI provided by OpenAI and Anthropic which don’t require advanced local hardware?

Local AI isn’t gonna help Apple, especially not with the rate hardware prices are increasing.

They need to pull out of this half assed bandwagon approach.

What ruined the company was refusing to turn ID Tech into an ecosystem to compete with Unreal and Source Engine.

Never understood why anyone would use Google Home or Amazon Echo when we all have phones.

A DSLR camera is better than a phones camera, a voice assisting device seems replaceable however.

Open source projects are only successful when they make what they replace obsolete. This worked with Linux and GCC but this isn't gonna work with LLM's.

Who's gonna pay to power an open source AI? Will it perform well enough to make Chat-GPT and Claude obsolete?

Codex does this in VSCode as well.

Compilations break all the time and those symbols either become useless or it’s just quicker to use grep.

New comment by pipeline_peak in "Apple reveals new AI architecture built around Google Gemini models"

pipeline_peak — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 03:06:34 +0000

I’m not thrilled about any sort of Apple AI. I see it more as the convenience of platform lock in that ideally would be in the hands of all serious AI contenders but we all know that’ll never happen.

Every mainstream product seems to have their own “SmarterChild on steroids” bolted on top (Gemini for Google, Rovo for jira, Copilot for Microsoft everything, etc).

I’ll still use the serious ones like ChatGPT/Claude as my main but I think these companies know that and are just trying to jump the bandwagon so they don’t look outdate. Either way, they can be surprisingly convenient and make up for UI/UX learning curves.

We’re gonna be streaming games as the norm soon anyway so I could care less.

This reads like an ant screaming at someone’s foot before they get stomped.

Ferrari’s are supposed to look sexy.

This looks like if an iPod Mini had sex with a Norelco Shaver.

The more specific your work is, the more these LLM’s seem to struggle.

If your work was previously googling stack overflow, it can be incredibly useful at working through that. Which let’s face it, that’s what a lot of us do.

If there’s anything I really want written in Rust, it’s a Chrome extension to filter out all the HN posts about Rust.

Feels a bit too long winded to be AI generated.

>The feeds we can subscribe to in our own feed reader to follow our favorite creators without having to be on your platform at all?

And why would YouTube go out of their way to allow you to do that?

When I was a kid I used to rate my uncles and aunts based off who got me Legos or Megablocks.

Idk how I’d feel if they got me this.

New comment by pipeline_peak in "The race to build the next WordPress"

pipeline_peak — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 04:57:12 +0000

The fact that author automatically jumps to “distributed system cloud goodness” has me glazed over.

We don’t need a new Wordpress that subscribes to today’s current tech trends.

“It doesn’t scale well” what does that even mean?
