Powerful AI data centers in the home/office using Apple technology, Part 2 -- How to build a data center with no code, with no code, with no code ... 4Jul25
Your interactions with chatbots, agents, and other AI apps reveal how you really think, especially as these apps become more conversational. Knowing how you really think will enable advertisers to design sales pitches that emphasize features that you are most likely to find appealing in their efforts to persuade you to buy their products and services. These revelations can also enable intrusive government agencies and insurance companies to become even more intrusive.
Big Tech companies compile insights about you -- which they derive from your interactions with their cloud-based, large language models -- into encyclopedic profiles. They sell access to these profiles to the highest bidders.
Having a personal generative AI data center in your home or office confers two obvious benefits ➡ (1) substantial reduction of your carbon footprint, and (2) greater privacy. This note estimates the reduction in the size of your carbon footprint that can be achieved by using Apple technology to converse with powerful, open source, small language models in your local center vs. large language models in the cloud. A second note will describe how the editor of this blog built his own AI datacenter using Apple technology ... with no code.
Some advice for iPhone and Mac users who store their images and videos on Google Drive ... 19Jun25
This note offers some advice for iPhone and Mac users who store their images and videos on Google Drive via the app they downloaded from the App Store ➡ There's a better way to install Google Drive.
Apple's dilemma: Pleasing its iPhone users AND its long term investors ... 12Jun25
Apple Park — corporate headquarters for Apple, Inc — is not in the real world. Its unreality emerged in WWDC 2024 and has just been confirmed by WWDC 2025. But as this note will argue, it doesn't matter. Apple merely needs to follow the pragmatic build AND buy strategy that it has followed with great success since 1979. Time is not on Apple's side; but its $3.5 trillion dollar market cap will win the day. It just has to make one more very large, high tech acquisition within the next two years. But which one?
Coding has rapidly become the most successful use case for Large Language Models. Models can now code so well that all Big Tech and many smaller companies are making drastic reductions in the size of their coding staffs. That's bad news ... for software engineers ...
The good news ... for experts in a wide range of other fields ... is that new employment opportunities are just over the horizon for computer savvy personnel who learn how to use generative AI to solve complex problems in their fields. So how can they learn these new skills?
