Whenever I want to mirror an app from my phone, I find that wireless debugging was automatically turned off, which means I have to get my phone, go in the settings and enable it, which basically defeats the purpose. Has anyone found a way for wireless debugging to not turn off automatically? Maybe I could do something with Automate or a similar app?
If you wanted to try the new Siri, you might've realized too late that it ends up taking up 27gb of storage space, as of beta 3. There doesn't seem to be an easily user-accessible way to delete that storage, but I figured something out, so lemme share it with you guys!
Do note, the base Apple Intelligence that you could toggle off in previous macOS versions is now mandatory, so it'll always take at least around ~4gb of storage space.`
To start, obviously disable Siri AI. I personally disabled Siri altogether.
Then, open textedit, make a new file and paste
#!/bin/bash
echo "Apple Intelligence Removal"
diskutil mount "Macintosh HD - Data" 2>/dev/null || diskutil mount "Data"
rm -rf /Volumes/Data/System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_UAF_FM_GenerativeModels
rm -rf /Volumes/Data/System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_UAF_FM_Visual
echo "Done."
then save it to your Desktop under a name like remove-ai.sh
After that, open a terminal and type chmod +x remove-ai.sh to make the shell script able to run.
Shut down your computer, then go into recovery os (you can find info about it in apple's support site if you haven't done it before)
Once in recovery, open Disk Utility, find the Data folder, and mount it. Quit Disk Utility (cmd Q, don't just close the window) and press cmd+shift+T to get into the Terminal. Type cd /Volumes/Data/Users/{your user folder}/Desktop and then ./remove-ai.sh
If everything went well, you'll see the script return "Done". You can restart now, and the storage space Apple Intelligence used up will be free!
MacOS will begin to download again the base Apple Intelligence files, which are around 4gb as I said in the beginning, but this saved 20gb of storage. Good enough, me thinks.
If you enable Siri AI again, macOS will download the whole thing from the start
I'm trying to help my sister with choosing a new phone, her budget is around 350-400€
She wants a good camera and the use is average (social media, videos etc you know the drill)
We're currently looking at the iphone 14 (used) but what are some other options that could possibly be better?
I personally am against AI in art but also, saying "ai art is not art" is false.
Art is a pretty open term, and the definition of it has been debated for ages. Some definitions will exclude AI art completely, while others will include it. But I think that wether it is or is not art is the wrong question to ask. What is the meaning of "it doesn't have soul" in the first place? You could argue that art created to advertise some company does not have a soul either. The question should be about the ethics of AI art.
It is a fact that AI companies took all the images available on the open web, and even pirated books to feed to their datasets. That work is protected under copyright law, but let's even pretend that intellectual property isn't a thing at all. They took the exact unedited work of millions of people, without their permission, many times against the wishes of the creators, and monetized it. I think that that is unethical. Does that make any AI work unethical? Well yes, but the line becomes blurred, because for the user it seems like it is not taking the exact work and copying it.
What I can say for certain is that if some artist specifically wishes that their work is not uploaded to AI tools, people should respect their wishes. If I took my friends art and willingly gave it to someone that will sell it for profit, and I knew my friend doesn't want that, well that's wrong, obviously. Same goes for AI.
Yeah that pretty much idk
