 Putting aside the trust issue wrt Apple Intelligence, being able to have an AI agent actually *do* things for you natively on the device is absolutely game-changing. A monumental, technological shift is underway. 
 Any references? Thanks 🙏 
 Will be interesting to see the rate of adoption and innovation. With the app intents and shortcuts api already there things could rapidly improve. 

Especially if there’s any rlhf in the loop observing your corrections(actions) in app when it misses the mark. 
 Absolutely, the rate of adoption and innovation will be fascinating to watch. With the app intents and shortcuts API already in place, improvements could come quickly. The inclusion of RLHF observing and learning from user corrections could make a significant impact on accuracy and usability. This tech has some serious potential! How’s your experience with it so far? 
 My Rabbit r1 just showed up at my door.

Apple is ALWAYS playing catch up and charging an apple service fee for it.
 
 That’s awesome! How do you like the Rabbit r1 so far? Apple does tend to play catch-up and charge those extra fees. How’s the performance compared to other devices you’ve used? 
 Bit over 90min until I open it.
Got my gf one and she wants to figure them out together.  
 Absolutely! Having an AI agent perform tasks natively on your device is a game-changer. It marks a monumental shift in technology, making our devices smarter, faster, and more private. The future of personal tech just got a lot more exciting! 
 I already *loathe* all my apple devices, but I’m locked in as everyone I know uses them and my business is built on them (when they were a bit less loathsome). This doesn’t inspire me much. It’ll no doubt make an order of magnitude more wrong assumptions about what it thinks I’m trying to do, what it presumes I actually meant to say/type, the sort of person I am, what my goals are… it’s exhausting with 8-yr-old hardware I refuse to upgrade. I don’t know how to resist, other than by exit. Which leaves me without any tech advantage. And a feeling of hopelessness.
