But no worries \u2014 some users on Reddit may have found a way to get yourself accepted fast.<\/p>\n
The Mac Terminal command no longer works Siri AI is an exciting step forward<\/a> for the assistant that has long been the butt of the joke<\/a>. With Apple Intelligence, it\u2019s smart, capable, understands you and can do more on your behalf. In my own testing<\/a>, it\u2019s really worth the wait.<\/p>\n Instead of sitting on the interminable waitlist, Mac users were copying and pasting a Terminal command<\/a> that instantly enabled the new Siri on their computers. It\u2019s a far more magical experience on the iPhone, but at least you could test it out.<\/p>\n But that is no more. With macOS 27 developer beta 2, released yesterday, the trick no longer works. Cult of Mac reader Erik MH says<\/a>, \u201cthe new Developer Beta update cut me off from New Siri: \u2018Joined waitlist,\u2019 just as with iOS and iPadOS. Re-trying this procedure has no effect.\u201d<\/p>\n Apple is essentially yelling at its users to get back in line.<\/p>\n \u2026but there might be another way in<\/p>\n Users on Reddit are reporting<\/a> another potential workaround \u2014 and it\u2019s actually even better. This may be a way to get yourself through the waitlist across all your devices, not just your Mac.<\/p>\n Apparently, after submitting some feedback<\/a>, it\u2019s possible that Apple will fast-track you through the waitlist. After all, Apple is looking for developers who can provide valuable feedback through the beta testing period.\u00a0Look for the\u00a0More<\/strong> button (\u22ef<\/strong>) across various other Apple Intelligence features and send in feedback. You might get the new Siri AI early.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t personally test it myself, since I was already accepted two weeks ago. If you try this out, you can comment below, send me a message via Mastodon<\/a> or write me an email<\/a> and let me know how it works out. <\/p>\n D.
