This is a really nice illustration that Apple's claim about not building a chat bot is just a distraction based on semantics. The "chatbot" is just a product that provides a light-weight interface for using a combination of integrated tools, the m…

Typically the point of an acquisition is to gain technology, productive assets (like factories), employees, or customers. But I don't see Apple as falling short in any of those areas. Apple's problem really is with their senior management's failur…

On net, I find I typically end up liking these overhauls after gaining some experience with them, and I'm sure this will be the same.

Two things can be true at once. Apple’s historical strength as a company has been to pull together existing technologies into a coherent, useful, and elegantly designed product. So it makes sense that they would view an LLM as a technology that they…

Porting games seems like exactly the kind of thing that could be made radically less expensive with AI development tools. But there needs to be examples to train the AI. Apple should offer to pay for game ports in exchange for the rights to train a…

I’m not necessarily opposed to a fresh coat of paint. And making the UI more consistent in appearance across devices can be a positive. There are also some new features here and there that seem like genuinely useful improvements. But the elephant …
