I don’t trust xAI (or Meta) with my data, but it doesn’t seem like Siri AI can do all that much.
I am surprised it is as locked down as it is. The only reason i keep perplexity around now is to run on my old iPad mini - I quickly adopted Siri on that one - and it does do a remarkable job of unpacking what is on my drive - but most of my use cases is that having done that - I now want to do more and so far Siri just tells me it ..
Can’t do that
So chat and claude are still there - neither of which have full reign over most of my hard drive.
I want a say in what happens next. Not because I am young. Because I am here, and I will be living with it.
.. not wrong.
Good read though he might best have used his AI to reduce the length.

No. We agreed exactly what needed changing, but I didn’t actually make the change to the file.

🔗 Substack Changed. Most Creators Haven’t Noticed Yet.
In January 2026, Substack launched Substack TV, an app for Apple TV and Google TV, so people can watch creator videos and livestreams on their actual television.
New news - at least to this bear.
The opposite of mass is special.
Good reminder. App development at PHI⑊PIN keeps getting distracted with ‘mass’ - but ‘special’ is what we are trying to do.
👁️ I mused on muse this morning - and no thanks. Unlike the rest of the world - I do have a memory so I don’t care what he and his acolytes say … I care about what they do - and they don’t do good things.
Karpe - 📼🎵🔗 this from 2022 - in Norway have been around for twenty years apparently. Love it.
Some of the choreography reminds me of Peter Gabriel - 📼🎵🔗 specifically this, though there are many others from different tours.
Life is a remix - and I love it.

I did not know that Jim had ‘Barksdales’:
One of the Barksdaleisms that I always liked: “If we have data, let’s look at data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine."

OOHH - this is exciting ..
Sending a webmention to:
Watched it a while back and just watched it 🎥🔗 Crazy Rich Asians again. Because it was so good? No. Because I was over-ruled by others on this wet Wellington afternoon so in all honesty just kept an eye on it while I got on with tweaking My Wiki. It remains at ★★
★★★★ for 🎥 Mayday that I watched last night. Excellent - as I typically expect when ‘Ryan’ plays ‘Ryan’. This time round we had Sir Kenneth Branagh playing the part of Hugh Jackman.

Certainly hope not - but then most people I talk to don’t even recognise the term.
.. from Seth. Interesting experiment.

Cupertino should really do a better job.
👁️ I have been wrestling with why Claude was suddenly making so many mistakes. Solved. For whatever reason it decided to ‘remind me’ that I can use Haiku - though when I say ‘remind’ - it did so very quietly - like not all. for some reason it just decided to start that way.
