  • Google mocks Apple's AI delays while standing in a graveyard of late and abandoned product...

    Apple's own fault for hyping garbage.

    Apple figured out - too late - that it's impossible to get a LLM to not hallucinate.  And sometimes, like doing cute pictures in Image Playground, that's not a huge problem.  But it's always going to give you garbage search results, and that can be a HUGE problem.
    If you follow the evolution of LLM technology, you'll see that Apple is openly contributing to the advancement of the tech in ways that directly address the current known issues, such as hallucinations. The very reason Apple -hasn't- released this tech to its users should be seen as a strength, not a weakness. We should be applauding them for their restraint. Patience pays off.

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    coolfactorcoolfactor

    Steve had a unique ability to connect with people at eye level, while also rising above to see the bigger picture that nobody else could see.

    This whole AI craze is ridiculous. Apple is not behind. They sell the hardware that consumers use to access AI from all competitors.

    Eventually, Siri will be the go-to AI that everybody was hoping for, and this nonsense will be behind us. it's never too late to get it right. Apple need not rush.

  • iPhone 16e success is a shift in Apple's upgrade tactics

    coolfactorcoolfactor

    I think the 17e will be my next phone, upgrading from a 13 Pro. I originally got the Pro for the Lidar/3D camera features, but never really used it, so not going Pro this time around. I will keep my 13 Pro if I ever need that capability.

  • Apple's AI brain drain continues as fourth researcher goes to Meta

    Good riddance. Loyalty means something, and Apple doesn't need anyone non-committed filling its ranks.

  • Apple insists its AI training is ethical and respects publishers

    Of course Apple hasn’t been called out on ethics and AI. So far there’s not much to see to begin with. 
    This all-or-nothing thinking isn't serving anybody. You're not sounding smart by repeating this fable. 

    Apple has been employing various levels of machine-learning tech for decades. The keyboard on the very first iPhone employed it ... 18 years ago.

    It's only been this latest "GenAI" craze where they were caught with their pants down, but they still make a sale selling devices to consumers that access competing GenAI. So they win either way.
