For those in the Mac world, Siri AI is like iMovie and ChatGPT is like Final Cut Pro. Siri AI can handle the basics — and a bit more — but power users will want the extra functionality. There’s plenty Siri AI can’t do, but what it can do is good enough for a ton of people.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: People building with AI

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

More from Mark Gurman

A more aspirational version championed by Apple’s design team used even more glass, instead of metal, but was scrapped early on. The company encountered problems connecting glass panels together. The design didn’t hold up when Apple had to figure out how to mass-produce it.

In September, Apple is poised to debut its first foldable iPhone, a device that’s expected to cost $2,000-plus. A monthly price of somewhere between $60 and $70 for that phone will seem a lot more palatable.

Also in Power On: Major shortages hit the MacBook Air amid the memory and silicon crunch, with many new orders now not arriving until September. Apple appears to be prioritizing sales now of the entry level MacBook Pro. t.co

Looking ahead, there is ongoing work on a bigger rethink to the Apple Watch, but I wouldn’t expect that to arrive for another year or two. And Apple is still moving toward getting a blood-sugar feature to the market this decade, making good on a project conceived in the Jobs era.

Apple is also planning M5 Pro + M6 Mac mini and M5 Max + M5 Ultra Mac Studio, but their configurations and release timing are fairly tied to the memory shortage. Current models don’t ship for three months.
