The forefront of public perception regarding AI in 2023 is occupied by Microsoft's AI-powered Bing and Google's Bard.

My experience is that ChatGPT is recognised and mentioned much more widely than these two.

The hype about AI is overblown. When I first learned about decision trees (make a list of possible outcomes, assign them a probability and a cost, then calculate to find the "best" option) I was taught that the trick is to get the estimated probability as accurate as possible - that with experience your estimates will get more accurate. The current buzz is happening because people have figured out a way to analyse huge amounts of data and build a bunch of probability lookup tables in a short enough period of time to be feasible and at a low enough cost to be justifiable.

At the end of the day, it's all just computation. The algorithms are not too complicated but the steps are computationally intensive and to understand how it works you need to be comfortable with matrix multiplication and statistics (e.g. this YouTube Video). The thing I really struggle to wrap my head around is why the machine doesn't have to show how it arrived at an answer - all of my teachers were very particular about that part of the process.

"Deeply questionable" rumour marked only as "Unlikely" by AI. LOL.

Even at 1500$ it’s still useless

For you.

Kind of like how, even at $0 cost, your comment is useless to me but may have value to someone else.

The stock bounce was a given when Federighi donned his hair helmet and led a parachute drop out of the Phil Shiller piloted Apple plane, best intro to WWDC ever.

As much as I am tempted to deem your statement frivolous, I have watched the stock market long enough to know that a company's stock price is affected no matter how ridiculous the idea.

Hopefully more investors will look at AAPL as still being undervalued.

The Elite-X Type-C is available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256 GB capacities, with the 64GB tested for review purposes. 

It's an almost dangerously small USB-C drive, one as thin as someone's pinky finger. Still, it is useful for sharing files across your and others' iPads and Macs. 

"Dangerously small" is right - who can exist with less than a terabyte these days?

Hmm. So the US reserves the right to impose tariffs on other countries that impose special requirements on multinationals headquartered in the US because <insert reasons here> yet domestically there's a push to place different special requirements on those same companies.
