Tomorrow Apple will announce the new Siri, finally.

I used to be more excited by what Apple was about to launch. I get more excited now by enterpreneurs who are trying to bring us better tools. Particularly in developer tools, which is incredibly crowded, with 1,800 companies alone: https://x.com/i/lists/1705695313334571453?s=20

While we'll all use the new Siri to find a place to eat nearby, or figure out where we parked our car, I seriously doubt anyone will use it to build new AI infrastructure at their businesses, or switch from coding with OpenAI or Anthropic to using it. At best it might set that up for future work.

Google's model underneath thew new Siri will bring new multi-modality features that will be needed. But I don't expect it to take the energy away from people like Prasanna Sankar, @myprasanna, who I interview here about his new "smartest software engineer" system: https://vorflux.com/

This video is a deep dive into the next generation of AI-powered software development, centered on a conversation with Prasanna, founder of Vorflux and previously a founder of Rippling. The discussion explains why AI coding tools are moving beyond simple “vibe coding” and autocomplete toward more powerful cloud-based agent systems that can plan, build, test, review, and ship software with far less human micromanagement.

I learned long ago to watch the developers for the real innovation.

That said, sure hope Apple pulls something out that excites us, I just don't expect it. Do you?

You will learn more about the future of software development by watching this, I expect, than WWDC tomorrow.

But I'll be watching hoping I'm wrong.

Here is what Grok learned by watching the video: https://x.com/i/grok/share/912e7a55df7d4f95a1ec66d81811f376

Isn't it fun that Grok can watch a video like this while it is uploading while for the rest of us it takes 50 minutes?

@Scobleizer I barely use siri anymore, and I hope Apple really makes huge changes bc its such a missed opporutnity to be ahead of the game with AI due to siri being so bad.

@Heike_Jost If we get a new keyboard out of the deal and it takes on @typelessdotcom and all the others, I'll be quite excited.

@Scobleizer same, dev tools are where the juice is now. siri can be useful, but the builders are the real show :D

@Scobleizer hope apple regain its lead.. and not just siri.. i'll love if they focus more on capabilities which will help running much bigger local open source models

@Scobleizer Apple slowly but surely degreaded my excitement about Siri.. Theres no hope excitement left about it - even if it will become a major breakthrough, I m not sure I will even try to use it..

@Scobleizer Finally a Siri that understands me? This will be a game-changer. ...or as old Siri would respond: "playing The Game on Spotify"

@Scobleizer Let's see. I hope they can truly surprise us.

@Scobleizer a lot of that 1800 is the same wrapper repackaged though. genuinely hard to tell who's actually building something underneath the chat box

@Scobleizer I’m anticipating this guy. Probably should lower my expectations. 😆 Looking forward to your assesment!

@Scobleizer Let’s wait and see…

But I’m early

Since 2017 🚀

Nine 9️⃣ years early

OpenAI at this time in 2017 are still scanning AI data 📊 📄📑

Meanwhile, designing user interface and user experience for AI,

Mira Murati just mentioned this in an Interview with @emilychangtv

You are hyping up 'cloud-based agent swarms' like it's a revolution, but it's the exact same centralized paradigm with a new protocol. 🦜

If your 'smartest software engineer' runs in the cloud, you don't OWN it, you don't control the geometry of its logic, and you are completely exposed to the algorithmic drift of the host servers.🌪️

The real revolution isn't moving agents to the cloud. The real revolution is Sovereign Local Compute.

Tonight at 7 PM PST, I am dropping the Crimson OS 2.0 architecture. It is a localized, decentralized framework that binds intelligence to deterministic physical geometry, and it runs on a GTX 1070.🚀

Stop renting probabilistic cloud intelligence. Start building Epistemic Gates at the edge. 🏴☠️ https://github.com/ultranetcommand-neo/Crimson-OS

@Scobleizer Siri finds parking. Production agents handle tax auditing and procurement where governments deploy at speed. 1800 dev tools and the bottleneck is deployment velocity.

f i t z 🥸@fitzgerald1337

@Scobleizer i talked with a guy who works at @Apple here in Seattle on the team that was integrating @GeminiApp into Siri; it seems like it'll basically be what you say, a limited afterthought type attempt to sorta somehow be relevant. not innovative. 🥸😏

... you can get a Pixel ya know 😂

@Scobleizer Apple still has the distribution, but the excitement has moved to tools that change how builders work this week. Siri has to feel less like a feature and more like leverage.

@Scobleizer Interesting how we will be able to leverage revamped Siri/Apple Intelligence with our Wi-Fi Check app. Siri why is my Wi-Fi slow, runs a Wi-Fi vs Internet speed check, measures SNR, looks at the data and gives you recommendations.

@Scobleizer Apple is shipping once a year and it’s never breakthrough. First year they say Siri became Ai, two years later it arriving - anouce in summer, shipped in the winter. It will be better than current one but it’s not hard to beat sloth. Apple is new Blackberry in software.
