Could the Apple TV Work as a Local Server for a LLM-Powered Siri?
On the December 26th episode of “Accidental Tech Podcast” there was a discussion about whether or not a future LLM-powered Siri could run locally on a HomePod or if it would need to run in the cloud. I thought this was an interesting question, and while I agree with their ultimate assumption that Apple would most likely will either use the cloud or require an upgrade to a new HomePod version if they launch a LLM-powered version of Siri, I also think that the Apple TV could potentially play a role here.

Nintendo has another home run in “Super Mario Bros Wonder”. It’s definitely not the grand slam that Tears of the Kingdom was, but Wonder is a surprisingly fun game (I’m trying very hard not to say it’s wonderful) that breaks new ground while also giving old Mario fans a heavy dose of nostalgia.

I recently shot a home office tour (thanks to my daughter Molly who was my camera operator) but when I started to edit it I just didn’t love it.
