Hello everyone.

Apple’s WWDC keynote will be shown on Monday (1 pm ET) at Apple Park (and online). Today’s update will go over my thoughts ahead of next week.

Virtual Member Meetup on Monday. Following the WWDC keynote, there will be a virtual member meetup in the Above Avalon member forum in Slack (available here) on Monday at 6:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm PT. The meet-up will provide an opportunity for members to have conversations in real-time about everything that Apple announced. In addition to participating in the meetup myself, I moderate the discussion topics etc. The discussions are then made available afterwards for other members to read through in Slack. If you have never joined the Above Avalon team in Slack, you can request an invite here. If you have previously been in the Slack team, your email has already been registered and you can just log in. Any updates/changes related to the virtual meet-up will be shared in Slack, so keep an eye there on Monday.

Thoughts Heading Into WWDC 2024

The setup heading into this year’s WWDC can be described as strange. There is an odd situation unfolding on social media and online that boils down to tech and finance circles talking up anything and everything related to generative AI, to the point of sheer pandemonium, while the masses have a more lukewarm approach to everything that has been proposed so far by big Tech.
