@jonpbaker @WisprFlow @Apple Hey do you use a voice ai app on your Apple Watch? If not and you’re open to try it, I have one on the App Store called Cogito Voice AI. Looking to gather feedback rn.

I want to like @WisprFlow but I’ve used it for months now and it’s just too clunky to use on mobile. I HATE how it keeps the audio open. Also random note, Apple dictation is much better on my Apple Watch Ultra than it is on my phone. No idea why… @Apple please fix this whole mess.

@julien_c Hi, I built the app you’re describing. It’s on the App Store under Cogito Voice AI

To this day I still don't understand why there is no ChatGPT or Claude or any other voice app on the Apple Watch, even though it looks like the perfect form factor.

@jewiss Hey did you get a chance to check it out, and if so, what’s your opinion?

@techandsundry I'll take a look :)

Google Glass failed it Humane died because of it Tim Cook only wore Apple Vision Pro once (in a staged shoot) because of it Half of Americans know AI wearables exist. Fewer than 5% own one. None of them failed because the tech didn’t work They all failed the same test And most AI wearable companies still haven’t figured out what it is yet

Reading Sartre is like being high on drugs. Can’t say another philosopher has done that for me.

Wow I'm so original

I'm hosting a philosophy-technology discussion in Montreal on July 7th, and desperately need a historian or economist to round out the discussion on AI productivity and workforce transformation. If you have any leads, please forward it to me 🙏 luma.com/dm2dvyt7

LFG! Btw it's Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Beta Updates Toggle On -> "iOS 27 Developer Beta."

Watching the WWDC26 keynote. If these use cases aren’t pre-orchestrated, they’re massive productivity boosts. The features and capabilities are there now, it just needs consumers learning and adopting new behaviors.

I've been thinking a lot about the interplay of thought and action, and relating it to recent scenarios in tech like Cursor's success. If the Cursor founders had sat down and reasoned about whether it makes sense to create this IDE, reason would have told them not to pursue it. There were obviously players with huge distribution power and resources that could overtake them at any moment. For a long time, people mocked them for being a VSC fork. Not just in Cursor's case, but in many cases of entrepreneurship or artistic endeavors or anything really that becomes "successful", reason would obstructed its pursuit. But of course, reason is also necessary for success. For instance, Cursor had to employ a lot of thoughtful planning, strategy and execution in order to scale the company. So what gives? What is the relationship between thought and action? I think I've developed a good rule of thumb, a heuristic, you could say. I think that the more far away an objective is, the less reason is applicable to it. The closer something is to the present, the more it benefits from reason. Now let me explain why. I think in the present moment, you have a set of variables, whose values are known. But the more you infer about the future, the more the values become unpredictable. Time, luck, randomness, action, and a few other things, all influence them. So, to reason with the current set of variables you have now about a future situation where the values of those variables will be very different is... irrational. So all in all, I think that one should employ reason in proportion to how near something is from the present, and forget about applying it to long-term visions. Would be curious for your thoughts @mntruell @amanrsanger @sualehasif996

If you're in Montreal, I'm putting together an event to discuss the topic of technological innovation and its workforce disruption. Check it out: luma.com/dm2dvyt7

@hamza_q_ wow didn't know about this, definitely gonna pick it up!

Wow, “Steve Jobs in Exile” is awesome. Page turner.
