That doesn’t mean you’ll get $1100 for an iPhone 13 Pro, just that you can get $1100 for probably a 16 Pro, but 13 Pro owners still get something instead of nothing.


I’m interested in how they’ve allegedly achieved this working without anyone but you having access to the unencrypted messages.
Don’t get me wrong, I want none of this shit in a messaging app, but I’m at least interested in how that is supposed to work.


I’m a bit torn on this. On one hand: obviously LLMs do this, since they’re essentially just huge pattern recognition and prediction machines, and basically any person probing them with new complex problems has made that exact observation already. On the other hand: a lot of everyday things us humans do are not that dissimilar from recognizing patterns and remembering a solution, and it feels like doing this step well is a reasonable intermediate step towards AGI, and not as hugely far off as this article makes it out to be.


Everyone: Hey, I’ve seen this claim before! Elmo: What do you mean you’ve seen it? It’s brand new!


The new design seems more lifted, I think it should be fine to fit your finger below there without having to lift it up yourself. At least for most people.
