Episode notes
Pace Matters More Than Model Size
- Apple risks feeling behind if Siri/Apple Intelligence ships slowly while the AI landscape advances.
- A timely, focused approach could be more important than matching model size or hype.
AI As Productivity, Not Replacement
- John and Federico emphasize AI as an automation and productivity tool rather than a creativity replacement.
- They treat LLMs as complementary tools that augment workflows, not substitutes for craft.
LLMs Cut Through Language Complexity
- LLMs handle natural language fuzziness better than deterministic tools like regex.
- That makes them useful for tasks where precise scripting struggles with language complexity.
