After enjoying being able to work from home 5 days a week the powers that be have decided that the organisation needs to move to a hybrid model of working in the office two days a week. I’ve decided to go in on Wednesday and Thursday but if there is rail maintenance on those days then I’ll push my days in the office onto one of the other days. Whenever I see such decisions the conspiracy theory minded inside me wonder whether it is the government putting pressure on businesses so that people come back into the CBD so then money can be spent at local retailers which may make sense but that is assuming people have spare money to spend.

I mentioned in my past post regarding Apple utilising Gemini which will sit underneath the models that they’ll build on top. Given all the backlash that Microsoft and other vendors are experiencing regarding AI being rammed into nook and cranny, it appears that Apple is perfectly placed given how sparingly they have used in their platforms. Apple has also announced the ‘Apple Creator Studio’ that will include AI features as well and given how it’ll be released on 28/01/26 it makes me wonder whether the whole Google Gemini announcement had been getting worked on for a lot longer than a year given how quickly Apple has been able to get their frameworks working on top of Google Gemini for both cloud based AI as well as on device AI.
