Surprisingly, after upgrading to macOS Sequoia 15.1 and joining the Apple Intelligence waitlist, I received it within a minute or two. I had anticipated a wait of at least a couple of days. Now, I’m trying to figure out how it can actually benefit my computing habits.

It’s said that “good artists copy, great artists steal.” I’d hate to be labeled a thief, so I’m going to borrow the idea and run a social experiment on my site by adding an exclusive Buck a Month Club. If you like my work, this is your opportunity to join 49 others and support what I do each month.

Use the preview button to see what your own site looks like with it. Feedback very much welcomed.

As I continue to slowly dip my toe into LLM/AI, I’m checking out Claude from Anthropic. I’ve been using ChatGPT on and off, and it’s cool, but Claude looks a little more interesting.
