New 🎥 from me:

Lately, I’ve noticed companies smashing ✨ onto every new feature they claim is “AI-powered”.

I set out to find out why this is happening, and wound up in Japan 🇯🇵

How AI Stole the ✨ Sparkles Emoji ✨

@thinkrectangles @verge @Google My bad, meant to share the gift link: https://t.co/OxUg3PrjQC

iOS 27 is finally out via public beta! I wrote for @verge about how much Siri AI has been impressing me, but why Apple needs to court developers (looking mostly @google ) to truly make it work this time. For real for real on god. No cap.

h/t @mattcassinelli for the interview!

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@T_H_A_N_O_S_69 It’s a joke my man

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

Where are they gonna find all that

[AppleTrack @appltrack]

Apple's M7 Ultra chip coming in 2029 is rumored to support 1.5TB of RAM.

This would make the processor much more capable for on-device AI.

@ShishirShelke1 That canyon color is absolutely gorgeous

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@SarveshBheekhun @mattcassinelli @verge @Google They can develop against it for TestFlight right now, but yes they’ll have to wait for the full SDK to push to people’s phones! App intents aren’t new but there are a crapload of new entity and intent schemas that are locked behind the iOS 27 SDK to give Siri much more control

[Matthew Cassinelli @mattcassinelli]

I’m happy to answer anyone’s questions about how Siri AI works with apps.

Journalists, creators, developers, and business folks alike.

The App Intents API is deep & I’ve been living in it for years.

@lukezim @verge @Google Fitbod! It’s my weight training app. They have custom icons

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@iambrandonzink @verge @Google Definitely better than iOS 26!

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@Mysterious91480 Haha I know! Just pointing out that it’s what Bluesky is trying to do 😅

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

Finally got my handle on here 🥺 Someone using it to impersonate me was the reason they verified my account back in 2015, but I was never able to actually get it.

Finally unified across every platform.

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@Mysterious91480 You laugh but that's what the Digital Identifiers are on the AT protocol

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@Samue_LxL Yes I did! WhatsApp gave me a heads up a few days before so I nagged it as soon as it went live lol

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@DimSartz_ Well at least I know an easy way to get Durvidimel back if I regret this change

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@rsencion You have to have premium plus!

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@DimSartz_ Wait are you for real

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@AkJn99 I think you're probably right... maybe I'll change it back lol.

When I was in highschool I was the snare drumline captain. The other two captains were named Tara and Yara so our music professor just called us "Tara, Yara, and Durvid". Kinda just percolated out lol

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@thesherlocker You might be right I'm kinda missing it now

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@jb Lower case i because upper case just looks like an 'l'

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@iHaadiYT It took about 2 months instead of 2 weeks but we got there

[David ImeI @Davidimel]

@SanjeevStunner Bless 🙂‍↕️
