iACast – Its Pre-Glowtime!

In this episode, I’m joined by Taylor Arndt as we dive into an array of exciting tech updates and Apple news leading up to tomorrow’s much-anticipated Apple event. We share our excitement about the event, themed “It’s Glow Time,” which hints at significant announcements for the new iPhone lineup, particularly the introduction of Apple Intelligence in Siri. Despite a busy weekend filled with work, the upcoming reveals have us buzzing with curiosity and speculation.

As we discuss what to expect from the new iPhone models, Taylor shares her anticipation for upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro, highlighting the potential shift from lightning to USB-C as a game changer. We both weigh in on the anticipated features, with Apple’s latest AI developments taking center stage. We debate whether the new Siri will make a significant impact on user experience and whether the timing of hardware announcements aligns with software releases, particularly with iOS 18.1 on the horizon.

We also touch on the Apple Watch and AirPods rumors, discussing the possibility of new health sensors and designs that cater to a variety of user needs. Taylor raises a crucial question about whether to invest in a new Apple Watch based on her current fitness goals and swimming activities. Our conversation acknowledges the decade-long journey of the Apple Watch and ponders how much the product has evolved in terms of accessibility and health monitoring features.

Shifting gears, we share our excitement about the progress at iAccessibility, where we have successfully revamped our website, making it fully functional for users to engage with our app directory and forums. I highlight how we’ve incorporated AI features into our site, allowing for seamless navigation and resource discovery, and Taylor elaborates on her contributions to our AI articles that aim to educate and inform our audience about the latest trends and tools.

Moreover, we emphasize the importance of having multiple accessibility resources within the tech community, celebrating the collaboration with platforms like AppleViz and Be My Eyes. As we look ahead to the future, we touch on the idea of creating a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting accessibility and remaining transparent about our goals and initiatives.

In closing, we both express our eagerness to reconvene after the Apple event to provide insights and reactions to the announcements. We wrap up by inviting listeners to share their thoughts and experiences regarding the announced products and the evolving landscape of accessible technology. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s discussion packed with fresh news and our reflections on all the latest from Apple!

00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:20,240
Music.

2
00:00:20,366 –> 00:00:24,266
Alright, I’m Michael Doeys and I’m here with Taylor Arndt. Hi Taylor, how are you doing?

3
00:00:25,226 –> 00:00:29,506
I’m doing pretty good. It’s been a crazy weekend around here.

4
00:00:29,706 –> 00:00:33,486
I don’t know, it’s just been a long weekend, but we’ve got a lot of news and

5
00:00:33,486 –> 00:00:36,686
things to share. So I’m pretty excited, but I’m also like kind of tired.

6
00:00:36,846 –> 00:00:41,366
Not gonna lie. Yeah, we both have been working a lot this weekend and we’ll

7
00:00:41,366 –> 00:00:44,466
get to all of those things in a moment.

8
00:00:44,546 –> 00:00:47,046
But Taylor, tomorrow, Apple event.

9
00:00:47,186 –> 00:00:50,686
Are you excited? excited you know usually i’m

10
00:00:50,686 –> 00:00:53,546
really excited about apple events and this time i’m actually

11
00:00:53,546 –> 00:00:56,866
excited as well but to be completely honest i’ve been

12
00:00:56,866 –> 00:00:59,786
so slammed with ia stuff in my own day job

13
00:00:59,786 –> 00:01:03,886
that i haven’t even really thought about the apple event like you know if i

14
00:01:03,886 –> 00:01:08,186
actually really step back and think about what i’ve been thinking about so i

15
00:01:08,186 –> 00:01:12,626
guess i’m excited but i’ve not even given any thought whatsoever usually i’m

16
00:01:12,626 –> 00:01:18,926
like thinking about it like two weeks in advance but nope not this So this year,

17
00:01:18,986 –> 00:01:22,426
the whole theme is called it’s glow time.

18
00:01:23,086 –> 00:01:30,826
And the it’s an Apple symbol that has a lot of neon and a lot of different colors glowing.

19
00:01:30,926 –> 00:01:34,486
And it’s like animated pulsating, like glowing Apple logo.

20
00:01:34,626 –> 00:01:39,926
And it looks really neat. And what it looks like is the new animation that surrounds

21
00:01:39,926 –> 00:01:46,126
the phone on Siri. Siri and I have a feeling all of the iPhone 16 line of phones

22
00:01:46,126 –> 00:01:49,606
possibly may have Apple intelligence in the new Siri.

23
00:01:50,266 –> 00:01:53,186
That’s cool. I’m probably going to upgrade my phone.

24
00:01:53,906 –> 00:01:58,906
So what would you like to see on a new iPhone? Well, okay.

25
00:01:58,986 –> 00:02:05,426
For one thing, you have an iPhone 14 Pro, right? And you’d be going to a 16.

26
00:02:05,926 –> 00:02:10,426
So do you know the biggest thing that you’re going to get by making that upgrade?

27
00:02:10,426 –> 00:02:13,446
Apple Intelligent. No, I mean, that’s big.

28
00:02:14,026 –> 00:02:17,226
That’s the biggest thing for me, Michael. Remember, the biggest thing is subjective.

29
00:02:18,466 –> 00:02:23,586
Well, I think one of the biggest things for you is it will be another device.

30
00:02:24,546 –> 00:02:30,806
Well, actually, I think for you, you will now be completely off lightning at

31
00:02:30,806 –> 00:02:33,386
this point. Oh, that. Yes, yes, yes.

32
00:02:33,946 –> 00:02:40,526
See, I’m so excited about AI. Yeah. Yeah, but you’ll be dropping your lightning to go to USB-C.

33
00:02:42,366 –> 00:02:43,166
About time.

34
00:02:45,726 –> 00:02:50,786
Man, considering the shape of my phone right now, like, oh, I don’t even want to talk about it.

35
00:02:50,806 –> 00:02:54,646
I have to charge for it when I’m out, and then I have to do wireless charging. Yep.

36
00:02:55,346 –> 00:02:57,166
Life has been fun lately. Yeah.

37
00:02:58,626 –> 00:03:00,606
So Taylor has that going on.

38
00:03:02,206 –> 00:03:04,286
And yeah, so…

39
00:03:06,349 –> 00:03:10,549
You’d be getting that and possibly the new Siri, which is very exciting, right?

40
00:03:11,389 –> 00:03:15,029
Yes. And sorry if everybody’s devices are going off.

41
00:03:15,329 –> 00:03:19,589
Well, we’re not saying, hey, S-Lady, do a thing. I know, I know.

42
00:03:19,589 –> 00:03:23,049
It still goes off with the S word. Sometimes.

43
00:03:23,469 –> 00:03:28,409
But you’ll be getting that. But are you going to go with the regular 16 lineup

44
00:03:28,409 –> 00:03:31,309
or the Pro lineup? Pro. I need LiDAR.

45
00:03:31,789 –> 00:03:35,649
Mm-hmm. And as an app developer, I’m making apps that have LiDAR.

46
00:03:36,309 –> 00:03:41,649
Yep. So what are you hoping, besides Apple Intelligence?

47
00:03:42,249 –> 00:03:45,749
Well, I think Apple Intelligence is kind of the big thing this year, right?

48
00:03:46,509 –> 00:03:51,029
Yes. In my opinion, it’s the best thing and the biggest thing.

49
00:03:51,489 –> 00:03:54,969
So what I’m really curious about, though, is they’re going to be releasing these

50
00:03:54,969 –> 00:04:00,489
new phones before 18.1 is even out. I’m wondering how that’s going to work.

51
00:04:01,009 –> 00:04:06,329
I think it’s going to be a hard sell until October when the 18.1 comes out.

52
00:04:06,409 –> 00:04:11,509
I think it’s going to be a hard sell to actually get the phones without the Apple Intelligence.

53
00:04:11,729 –> 00:04:15,149
Because, right, it doesn’t come out until 18.1. So I don’t think a lot of people

54
00:04:15,149 –> 00:04:16,369
are going to buy it before October.

55
00:04:17,069 –> 00:04:21,489
Yeah, I think they’ll get it with 18.0. But it’s funny because the whole event

56
00:04:21,489 –> 00:04:28,269
is really focused on the new Siri and Glow Time and all that kind of stuff instead

57
00:04:28,269 –> 00:04:30,409
of Showtime. I feel like that was kind of poor planning.

58
00:04:30,689 –> 00:04:35,309
Yeah, I kind of feel like they should have done this a little differently.

59
00:04:35,469 –> 00:04:40,289
But I think they want to show people before they get it what they’re going to have.

60
00:04:40,909 –> 00:04:44,549
I guess. Yeah, I don’t know.

61
00:04:44,969 –> 00:04:48,429
Well, we’ll find out tomorrow. This podcast is being recorded,

62
00:04:48,529 –> 00:04:54,209
and then it’s going to immediately go right out to distribution after editing the beginning.

63
00:04:54,809 –> 00:04:59,889
But it’s very interesting. interesting couldn’t they have showed all this off

64
00:04:59,889 –> 00:05:04,469
at dub dub though or they did they showed off a lot well but they didn’t have

65
00:05:04,469 –> 00:05:09,929
a lot of demos right oh see that’s where i don’t know.

66
00:05:11,049 –> 00:05:15,029
Because they’ve been doing a lot of demos like online right i’m like apple like

67
00:05:15,029 –> 00:05:19,249
you know they’ve been promoting stuff but i don’t know for apple intelligence

68
00:05:19,249 –> 00:05:22,449
they’re going to do a lot of demos tomorrow they’re going to be showing people

69
00:05:22,449 –> 00:05:25,649
using this in all different ways how developers have

70
00:05:25,729 –> 00:05:28,349
used the betas but interestingly we don’t even

71
00:05:28,349 –> 00:05:31,809
have a lot of the genmoji and in the generative the

72
00:05:31,809 –> 00:05:39,589
image playgrounds and all of that stuff yet no we don’t but now taylor you have

73
00:05:39,589 –> 00:05:43,309
an ipad that can run apple intelligence have you played with it at all yet you

74
00:05:43,309 –> 00:05:49,589
know to be honest with you i just have not had time to sit down and mess with,

75
00:05:50,425 –> 00:05:54,445
Yeah. It’s go time for me instead of it’s blow time. Yeah. Yeah.

76
00:05:54,945 –> 00:05:58,265
So I think it’s going to be interesting to see what we get with these new phones.

77
00:05:58,365 –> 00:06:02,805
I mean, obviously they’re going to have all the usuals. It’s going to be the 16 and 16 pro.

78
00:06:04,185 –> 00:06:07,545
Now with some things that happened to you that over the year,

79
00:06:07,725 –> 00:06:11,725
we’re having some, we’re hearing about some new AirPods that will not have that

80
00:06:11,725 –> 00:06:14,765
AirPods for, I think they are.

81
00:06:15,325 –> 00:06:18,785
And these may or may not have the tips. would you still not

82
00:06:18,785 –> 00:06:21,505
buy them or would do these fascinate you

83
00:06:21,505 –> 00:06:24,305
at all no i do not want to repeat what

84
00:06:24,305 –> 00:06:27,985
happened in june that was crazy

85
00:06:27,985 –> 00:06:33,385
yeah taylor had an ear infection from using airpods yeah and it was pretty severe

86
00:06:33,385 –> 00:06:41,265
so it’s it’s i’m gonna be getting some airpod 4s i know you will those are definitely

87
00:06:41,265 –> 00:06:45,945
i like the ones without the tips on them from i don’t the pros are fine and

88
00:06:45,945 –> 00:06:47,205
my airpod Pros are great,

89
00:06:47,285 –> 00:06:52,165
but the original ones like the AirPods are amazing.

90
00:06:52,385 –> 00:06:55,985
I like those. It still sounds good and you can hear around them.

91
00:06:56,625 –> 00:07:01,345
So that’s in the rumors tomorrow. We have Apple Watch rumors.

92
00:07:01,805 –> 00:07:03,585
Well, we know we’re going to get watches tomorrow.

93
00:07:04,105 –> 00:07:09,105
And so we may see the Ultra 3, which has my name on it.

94
00:07:09,465 –> 00:07:13,145
May have some new health sensors, more accurate sensors, possibly

95
00:07:13,465 –> 00:07:16,165
sleep apnea checking which will be

96
00:07:16,165 –> 00:07:23,285
interesting so i’m curious what we’re gonna get yeah me too i mean with phones

97
00:07:23,285 –> 00:07:29,265
we know we’re gonna get usual devices you know with all of the features that

98
00:07:29,265 –> 00:07:34,765
we’re used to on the phone but i don’t know me either.

99
00:07:35,958 –> 00:07:39,498
So, are you interested in a new watch, Taylor?

100
00:07:40,398 –> 00:07:45,918
You know, I don’t know. It will depend on a couple factors. So, maybe, maybe not.

101
00:07:46,878 –> 00:07:50,898
I’m not exactly sure because usually I use it a lot for swimming and I plan to start that again.

102
00:07:51,078 –> 00:07:54,758
But it all just depends on, you know, there’s been a lot of crazy stuff going

103
00:07:54,758 –> 00:07:56,498
on at the gym that I usually go to.

104
00:07:56,598 –> 00:08:00,078
So, I got to see if that can clear out first. Right.

105
00:08:03,698 –> 00:08:07,638
So, I’m really excited about the event. I want to see what we’re going to do,

106
00:08:07,738 –> 00:08:10,598
what we’re going to get. I always get very excited before these.

107
00:08:10,738 –> 00:08:13,858
But I want to see what the new watches are like.

108
00:08:14,238 –> 00:08:16,598
This is, let’s see.

109
00:08:17,098 –> 00:08:21,978
Oh, it is. I believe this is 10 years of Apple Watch. Wow.

110
00:08:23,098 –> 00:08:26,258
10 years of Apple Watch. That is crazy.

111
00:08:27,378 –> 00:08:31,678
And, you know, we’re even not mentioning the fact that macOS,

112
00:08:31,918 –> 00:08:37,918
Vision OS, and all the other OSs are coming out very soon, possibly next week as well.

113
00:08:40,058 –> 00:08:43,538
So we’ll talk about those when they come out. But before that,

114
00:08:43,618 –> 00:08:46,638
Jonathan Mosen has a great podcast, three-hour-long podcast,

115
00:08:46,778 –> 00:08:48,558
I think, where he goes over all the new features.

116
00:08:49,258 –> 00:08:52,578
Yeah, I haven’t quite had enough time to listen to those. I feel like with those

117
00:08:52,578 –> 00:08:55,938
kind of podcasts, I really need to have AI summarize them or else I just fall

118
00:08:55,938 –> 00:09:00,298
asleep in the middle of them and never can get through them because they’re so long. Mm-hmm.

119
00:09:00,818 –> 00:09:02,878
See, another use case for AI, people.

120
00:09:03,418 –> 00:09:06,558
Yeah, Taylor, it’s all about the AI. Oh, yeah.

121
00:09:08,358 –> 00:09:11,998
So we’re going to see all of those things, and then we’re also going to see…

122
00:09:11,998 –> 00:09:14,238
I mean, there’s been rumors about AirPods Max.

123
00:09:14,578 –> 00:09:17,478
I’d like to see USB-C AirPods Max. That would be great.

124
00:09:19,142 –> 00:09:22,622
The rumors are that stock is going low on the iPad minis.

125
00:09:22,922 –> 00:09:28,122
But I think we’re going to see events in October, maybe November, too, guys.

126
00:09:29,362 –> 00:09:31,442
So we’re going to see a lot of events this year.

127
00:09:33,582 –> 00:09:38,682
So I’m really predicting. So I would like to think that the phones are going

128
00:09:38,682 –> 00:09:43,802
to have a lot of new colors and all that kind of to go with the It’s Glow Time event theme.

129
00:09:44,122 –> 00:09:48,662
But who knows? We will have to wait for tomorrow, but I’m pretty excited to see what we get.

130
00:09:49,242 –> 00:09:52,002
But again, it feels like if you really want the color phones,

131
00:09:52,102 –> 00:09:53,682
you got to go with the regular, not the pro.

132
00:09:53,842 –> 00:09:56,382
But if you need features, you got to go with the pro. So I was like,

133
00:09:56,462 –> 00:09:57,882
OK, color versus features.

134
00:09:58,242 –> 00:10:01,722
Yeah. And I wish they would put more colors on the pro phones.

135
00:10:02,702 –> 00:10:07,022
Because sometimes those colors make it easier to see your phone. You know.

136
00:10:09,022 –> 00:10:13,622
Totally understand. And there’s also rumors that the iPhone SE 4 may come out

137
00:10:13,622 –> 00:10:17,542
tomorrow as well with a new OLED screen.

138
00:10:17,542 –> 00:10:20,542
Screen yeah again i don’t really

139
00:10:20,542 –> 00:10:23,542
look at rumors because i want to be surprised and more than

140
00:10:23,542 –> 00:10:26,722
half the time the rumors are not correct my opinion

141
00:10:26,722 –> 00:10:31,562
yeah i mean it varies you know so we

142
00:10:31,562 –> 00:10:34,682
will wait for tomorrow we’re going to do another podcast tomorrow evening it’s

143
00:10:34,682 –> 00:10:42,002
very exciting and it’s going to be really cool to see what we get on to some

144
00:10:42,002 –> 00:10:46,462
other news for eye accessibility iAccessibility is very exciting to announce

145
00:10:46,462 –> 00:10:49,022
that our site is up and running.

146
00:10:49,162 –> 00:10:56,702
The iacast.net website has been moved over to the main site of iAccessibility.

147
00:10:57,242 –> 00:11:00,642
The app directory is fully functional. You can post in it.

148
00:11:00,702 –> 00:11:08,822
You can view apps by category, name, and ranking in there, and the latest app directory post.

149
00:11:09,062 –> 00:11:15,922
And we have our iAccessibility forums. So that’s all working as well. It’s very exciting.

150
00:11:16,682 –> 00:11:22,142
So also don’t forget, you can follow us on Mastodon, iAccessibility at Mastodon.

151
00:11:23,742 –> 00:11:28,262
IAccessibility at iAccessibility.social and we’re iAccessibility1 on Twitter.

152
00:11:28,462 –> 00:11:30,262
All this stuff is coming back.

153
00:11:30,522 –> 00:11:33,442
And it was funny because I was looking through pictures on the iAccessibility

154
00:11:33,442 –> 00:11:38,742
website, looking at all the like, Being nostalgic and looking at like pictures

155
00:11:38,742 –> 00:11:41,602
that we had for different posts over the years, it’s like, man,

156
00:11:41,702 –> 00:11:43,842
that takes me back a good while.

157
00:11:44,042 –> 00:11:48,382
I miss some of that stuff. So we’re coming back. We’re going to be doing all

158
00:11:48,382 –> 00:11:50,862
the things that we used to do. New reports.

159
00:11:51,522 –> 00:11:56,022
Taylor’s written some fantastic reports. We even now have a podcast called the

160
00:11:56,022 –> 00:11:59,022
iAccessibility Report where you can listen to our articles.

161
00:11:59,242 –> 00:12:01,382
Isn’t that cool? I think it’s amazing.

162
00:12:02,102 –> 00:12:07,082
Have you listened to it, Taylor? I have. what are your thoughts it’s really

163
00:12:07,082 –> 00:12:09,462
really nice interesting TTS voice.

164
00:12:10,672 –> 00:12:14,092
But it’s cool. Yeah, and we’re doing all of this through Podbean.

165
00:12:14,492 –> 00:12:19,472
And for people that may not have heard our interviews at other places,

166
00:12:19,832 –> 00:12:22,472
we are starting a nonprofit organization.

167
00:12:22,672 –> 00:12:29,672
We’re working on the details with our board and our team to finalize the details on that.

168
00:12:29,972 –> 00:12:32,172
But stay tuned. We’ll have more

169
00:12:32,172 –> 00:12:35,692
to come on that. The goal is to be very community-driven and transparent.

170
00:12:36,532 –> 00:12:42,892
So we’re very excited. I also didn’t share our app directories cover iOS and

171
00:12:42,892 –> 00:12:49,712
iPad OS, Mac OS, Watch OS, Vision OS, TV OS, Android, and Windows.

172
00:12:50,252 –> 00:12:55,892
So we’re very inclusive of all different kinds of operating systems.

173
00:12:56,272 –> 00:13:01,652
And, you know, it might even be interesting to have an operating system accessibility category.

174
00:13:02,212 –> 00:13:03,452
It’d be kind of fun.

175
00:13:04,292 –> 00:13:06,972
That’s fascinating. like how

176
00:13:06,972 –> 00:13:11,832
accessible is mac os like let’s rate voiceover like how well can you use,

177
00:13:12,472 –> 00:13:15,672
linux different linux distributions how accessible are

178
00:13:15,672 –> 00:13:18,392
they if you’re in the community reach out

179
00:13:18,392 –> 00:13:22,872
let us know what do you think about that just mention us on social media or

180
00:13:22,872 –> 00:13:29,492
send an email to us feedback at iaccessibility.net will be up soon and it’s

181
00:13:29,492 –> 00:13:35,952
very exciting stuff we’re making leaps and bounds The other thing I wanted to mention,

182
00:13:36,092 –> 00:13:38,492
if you have been following,

183
00:13:38,772 –> 00:13:42,932
AppleViz has been saved by Be My Eyes. Very cool.

184
00:13:43,132 –> 00:13:47,232
It’s good to have multiple resources out there. So we will be there.

185
00:13:47,992 –> 00:13:53,832
AppleViz will still be available. And then we will be updating the iAccessibility

186
00:13:53,832 –> 00:13:59,292
app as well. Well, so there’s going to be so many resources available to the

187
00:13:59,292 –> 00:14:01,372
Blank community for all of these products.

188
00:14:01,492 –> 00:14:07,372
So we’re very happy that we have a vibrant community of websites and resources that people can use.

189
00:14:07,812 –> 00:14:12,892
But, you know, we’re there. Apple Viz is there. Be My Eyes. You know,

190
00:14:12,912 –> 00:14:15,552
Aira has all of their, you know, their services.

191
00:14:16,552 –> 00:14:22,132
ACB, you know, NFB, all of these places you can find great resources to get started. it.

192
00:14:22,152 –> 00:14:25,492
So it’s very excited, very exciting stuff.

193
00:14:27,272 –> 00:14:30,572
I think we’re going to have a longer podcast tomorrow, but we wanted to put

194
00:14:30,572 –> 00:14:35,612
out some content today so that we can kind of get everybody ready for all the

195
00:14:35,612 –> 00:14:36,652
very excitement tomorrow.

196
00:14:37,572 –> 00:14:41,652
I’m a little more excited now that the work on the iAccessibility website is

197
00:14:41,652 –> 00:14:45,312
behind me. I mean, obviously, it’s going to, you know, still evolve.

198
00:14:45,632 –> 00:14:53,012
Oh, yeah. And there’s also one little thing that is kind of exciting that’s on the new website.

199
00:14:53,132 –> 00:14:56,192
Taylor, you want to talk about that? up yeah well i

200
00:14:56,192 –> 00:15:01,012
was gonna say michael you’re forgetting something so basically you

201
00:15:01,012 –> 00:15:04,872
can now use ai to search the

202
00:15:04,872 –> 00:15:10,072
entire i accessibility website and you can search and it will bring up episodes

203
00:15:10,072 –> 00:15:15,912
you know podcasts or apps in the directory or things like that and i made this

204
00:15:15,912 –> 00:15:22,712
by myself in wordpress and it’s fully accessible on the front and back end and

205
00:15:22,712 –> 00:15:23,772
apparently it looks Looks good, too.

206
00:15:24,012 –> 00:15:27,952
Yes. And that’s the really neat thing. Taylor is a screen reader user,

207
00:15:28,152 –> 00:15:31,652
has some vision, but she made a plug in that looks really nice visually.

208
00:15:31,792 –> 00:15:35,612
I love it. I’m really excited about it. Yeah. And I’ve been making plug ins

209
00:15:35,612 –> 00:15:38,352
for just over a year now. So it’s kind of crazy.

210
00:15:38,692 –> 00:15:42,152
And we’re going to have some really cool AI articles. So, Taylor,

211
00:15:42,212 –> 00:15:46,212
do you want to talk about what you’ve posted before and what you plan on posting?

212
00:15:46,992 –> 00:15:51,932
I’ve posted a MetaRabians article where I talk about like an introduction and

213
00:15:51,932 –> 00:15:56,872
give some commands. And then I’ve posted a Google Gemini versus Chagibouti article.

214
00:15:57,372 –> 00:16:03,192
And I also did a Be My AI, Access AI, and something or other comparison.

215
00:16:05,132 –> 00:16:09,532
And then I did a Google Gemini versus Chagibouti.

216
00:16:10,032 –> 00:16:13,412
Those are the main AI articles. I plan to do some more Meta Ray-Bans content

217
00:16:13,412 –> 00:16:15,872
once this website work slows down a little bit.

218
00:16:17,640 –> 00:16:22,460
Fantastic. So I think that’s going to do it for this short podcast today.

219
00:16:22,800 –> 00:16:25,060
We’re going to have a lot more tomorrow, like I said.

220
00:16:25,620 –> 00:16:27,520
Taylor, where can people find you online? line?

221
00:16:28,160 –> 00:16:31,420
Well, you can find me on iAccessibility.

222
00:16:32,300 –> 00:16:46,180
You can find me on Mastodon, T-A-Y-A-R-N-D-T at Techopolis, T-E-C-H-O-P-O-L-I-S.social.

223
00:16:46,660 –> 00:16:52,300
You can also find me helping with the iAccessibility website.

224
00:16:52,620 –> 00:16:56,620
So if you have questions about that, please let me know. Or if you decide you’re

225
00:16:56,620 –> 00:17:00,520
You’re going to break one of my, you know, find the AI plugin and you put something

226
00:17:00,520 –> 00:17:02,060
in there that you don’t like and it breaks it.

227
00:17:02,140 –> 00:17:05,660
Well, let me know, too, because I’ve been testing it, but people broke it.

228
00:17:05,720 –> 00:17:11,520
So anyways, we always try to find ways to break stuff. Oh, yeah.

229
00:17:13,380 –> 00:17:19,260
When Taylor writes plugins, she hates it whenever I get a hold of it because I find ways to break it.

230
00:17:21,000 –> 00:17:23,940
Including that thing that we won’t talk about that happened yesterday. That was.

231
00:17:24,340 –> 00:17:27,900
Oh, yes, we will talk about that. Oh, we will, huh?

232
00:17:27,980 –> 00:17:34,120
So one of the things that, you know, when you use ChatGPT, and don’t get any

233
00:17:34,120 –> 00:17:39,440
funny ideas out there, audience, but when you use ChatGPT, you have a lot of

234
00:17:39,440 –> 00:17:42,620
guardrails and things that, you know, you can and cannot talk about.

235
00:17:43,422 –> 00:17:48,482
When you actually use the APIs, though, like the programming interfaces that

236
00:17:48,482 –> 00:17:55,902
let you directly talk to OpenAI and GPT-4, those guardrails are not there.

237
00:17:56,322 –> 00:17:59,442
As strict. There’s some, but they’re not as much. There’s some,

238
00:17:59,462 –> 00:18:03,082
but they are not nearly as strict as chat GPTs.

239
00:18:03,922 –> 00:18:11,462
And you can get it to come out with some very inappropriate answers. Answers.

240
00:18:12,062 –> 00:18:19,122
So you actually have to build moderation into your project whenever you’re working with OpenAI.

241
00:18:20,302 –> 00:18:26,302
So for all of you guys out there that want to play with unhinged chat GPT,

242
00:18:26,442 –> 00:18:29,622
learn the APIs. You could do all kinds of stuff.

243
00:18:29,802 –> 00:18:32,622
But, I mean, do or do not, that’s your discretion.

244
00:18:32,882 –> 00:18:35,542
We’re not encouraging any bad behavior here.

245
00:18:35,842 –> 00:18:40,782
But, you know, don’t try to do that bad behavior on our site. Right.

246
00:18:41,122 –> 00:18:45,502
Because it won’t work. It will not work. Because Taylor had to fix it. Yes.

247
00:18:46,462 –> 00:18:52,342
So, okay. Well, thank you, Taylor. As for me, you can find me online as Michael Doeys.

And I’m always posting articles at iAccessibility.

251
00:19:04,462 –> 00:19:09,522
I’ve talked about iPhone mirroring currently not being accessible.

252
00:19:09,522 –> 00:19:15,762
And how to use notification summaries with Apple intelligence and a lot more is coming.

253
00:19:16,162 –> 00:19:20,842
So very exciting stuff. And you could find me all over the web. Just search for me.

254
00:19:21,202 –> 00:19:28,522
And I am very excited that we’re doing more content and we’ll be back tomorrow with another podcast.

255
00:19:28,742 –> 00:19:30,802
But I want to say thank you, Taylor, for being here.

256
