How and when does one get notified after joining the AI waitlist? Hours, days, weeks? Email? Notification? Phone call, lol? Hey Apple, got UX design?
Took a couple of hours for me. I just got a notification that you can't miss to turn it on. If you joined the waitlist just wait.... it will come. Nothing mind blowing from what I see so far.

Waiting for confirmation that every single "feature" can be disabled. Don't want the overhead on my M1 for "features" I don't value and won't use.
Then you best be considering the switch to a different platform.
 
MacBook Air 2020 intel failed to upgrade from 15.0.1 > 15.1
Update firmware fails. Selection of startup disk and unlock rolls back to 15.0.1
Baffled.

I did get a notification on both the Mac and the Ipad about Apple Intelligence being ready so I apologize for my overreaction. So far I really haven't used anything but I love the glowy effect when you activate Siri. That's much better than having this big circular thing blocking some of the bottom of the page.
 
Sequoia 15.2 Developer Beta is out now as well, for those who like the riskier side of life....

Sequoia 15.1 has broken my iMac M3 bluetooth, until today on macos login, magic keyboard was ready to press keys and now after the update I have to press several keys to activate the keyboard in orden to press the password. They did the same with my iMac 2017, they broke this essential commodity, I hate how Apple works these days, lot of stupidity AI emojis but less quality control on every day tasks.

Have you asked Siri if it can use Apple AI to fix it?

/s

More seriously -- this is the problem with this relentless AI everywhere push.
Actual real issues and bugs are going fully unaddressed while they shovel a bunch of AI garbage on everyone

Apple today released macOS Sequoia 15.1, the first update to the macOS Sequoia operating system that was released in September. macOS Sequoia comes six weeks after the launch of macOS Sequoia 15.

Mac users can download the ‌macOS Sequoia‌ update through the Software Update section of System Settings.

macOS Sequoia 15.1 introduces the first Apple Intelligence features for Macs that are equipped with an M-series chip. Not all Apple Intelligence features are available, but the update includes support for Writing Tools, a new Siri design, AI-powered Focus modes, smart replies, and summaries.

Writing Tools can be used across the operating system wherever text can be selected and edited, and the feature supports spell checking, correcting grammar, rewriting your work with a new tone, and summarizing text.

‌Siri‌ has been updated with a new design that includes a subtle glow around the display, and Type to ‌Siri‌ means you don't have to speak to ‌Siri‌ to get answers. ‌Siri‌‌ can follow along if you stumble over your words, and can maintain context between requests. Safari can summarize articles, and there's a new Reduce Interruptions Focus Mode that intelligently highlights only important notifications.

Smart replies are available in Messages and Mail, plus the Mail app surfaces priority time sensitive messages and puts them at the top of your inbox. Photos has a Memory Movie feature for creating slideshows based on text descriptions, and there is a Clean Up tool for unwanted objects in your photos. Apple's full release notes for the update are below.
More information on all of the new Apple Intelligence features in macOS Sequoia 15.1 can be found in our Apple Intelligence guide.

How do I get the "glowing light that wraps around the edge of your screen, animates responsively to the sound of your voice, and lets you keep scrolling or typing while you talk to Siri"?
 
Anyone know how to "Create Memory Movies" in macOS?

Create a Memory Movie is available on iPhone and iPad, and will be available on Mac in the coming months.
So its not here yet for the Mac but in the next few months. 15.4 completion is March 2025 as a guide.
