Maybe it’s me, but all this back and forth over Image Playground and the quality of its generated images seems mostly irrelevant. How many consumers will put the ability to make fake AI generated images near the top of their must have features list?…

LLMs aren’t sentient. They look for patterns in the query and then apply algorithms to those patterns to identify details that then are used to search databases or perform functions. LLMs can’t learn. If the data they search contains errors, they…

Apple is a for profit company that can enter or leave markets as they see fit. If they don’t want to deploy AI in Europe that’s a business decision. It may be good or bad but it’s their right.

I’m always amazed at the criticism around these events. I’m not sure what the critics actually want. A phone that wipes for you? Samsung is infamous for throwing out new features that are half-baked but make a splash only to have them disappear in…

US tech companies are easy targets for EU regulators as there are few European competitors. While many of the regulations are meant to benefit European consumers, the EU has clearly put their thumb on the scale to benefit Apple’s competitors - parti…

“What Apple is doing is like an automaker saying you can't put gas in your tank unless they get 30% of what you pay for every gallon, and if they don't approve the gas station you can't put the nozzle in the fill port.“ A poor analogy. The electric…

michelb76 said: The EU accounts for a quarter of worldwide sales. It will come to the EU at some point. Probably. But Apple will sell iPhones in the EU even without AI. The EU’s habit of issuing massive fines doesn’t help either. So what …

Companies make rational choices based on the environment they do business in. Apple has to comply with local regulations and laws and if that means some features or products aren’t available because of those regulations/laws, so be it. Europe has b…
