My first 24 hours with Siri AI on the Mac
I turned off Siri on the Mac years ago and never looked back. Similarly, I found Apple Intelligence so fruitless I never engage with it. But the new Siri AI coming to macOS 27 Golden Gate has at least got me slightly rethinking things. I'm still early in testing Siri AI, as I've only had […]

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits he's a token-maxer, too: "It's addictive"
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is warning against "token-maxing," throwing the most powerful AI models at every problem. Frontier models shouldn't be wasted on everyday tasks, he says.

Microsoft's SkillOpt boosts GPT-5.5 by using nothing but a trained Markdown file
Microsoft and three Chinese universities have developed SkillOpt, a method that optimizes instruction documents for AI agents using principles from traditional model training. A simple Markdown file is enough to boost GPT-5.5 by about 23 points on procedural tasks, and the same file transfers across models and agent environments like Codex and Claude Code.

Apple’s new AI photo editing tools mostly work, for better and worse
The most popular camera in the world just got its first set of serious AI photo editing features, and I don't think any of us are ready. As far as AI photo editing goes, the new features in iOS 27 are pretty tame compared to what you can do on, say, Google's Pixel phones. But […]
