I miss the old days of the simplicity of iTunes. You knew exactly where you were, what you were looking at, and what you were buying.

Navigating the TV app these days requires a college degree. I can't image how non-savvy folks manage it.

The number of times I've wanted to watch something only to find out that it's available through a different "content network" and only being advertised inside the TV app.

I hope this guy gets used to people calling him “idiot” for at least a year or two for this stupid stunt. He’s inspiring people to do dangerous things.

I knew this would happen, and I’m glad he’s getting lambasted for it. I very much doubt this statement that it was a skit — he’s already proven himself an idiot, and most idiots lie when they get caught, so there’s no reason to believe literally ANYTHING he says.

The police should use this video as evidence to arrest him NOW, and any judge worth his seat should throw the book at him (points on his license, $$, classes, whatever the local jurisdiction allows for reckless/impaired driving).

Police need to send a message NOW that driving with a headset on  will get your ass arrested, and slapped with serious charges.

Agreed. There is zero excuse for this type of behaviour. He's not "being cool".

The creator of this video has made a statement that it was a staged skit, he was not arrested and only spent about 30 seconds of driving with the headset on. Please update the article to reflect the creators statement. 

Update? Oh, you mean reword the headline so it's not clickbait? Nah, ain't gonna happen.

The headline is not clickbait. It's an advisory statement. He was driving wearing the Vision Pro. How long is irrelevant.

For those that aren't aware, machine learning — a subset of artificial intelligence — goes back to the 1950's. It's not this magical new technology invented in the past few years. It's just that now with Generative AI models, we're starting to see a new age of AI, one where responses are "generated" on-the-fly. That's very different from what we've had access to in the past 30 years.

The groundwork of computer neural networks — another aspect of AI — was inspired by the works of a Canadian in 1949.

Apple is not "behind" by any means. A radical new Siri is coming.

I love how Cook had to keep explicitly mentioning AI, ML, etc. for all of the stupid ChatGPT enamored folks that don’t understand how much AI is baked into Apple products and software and how Apple Si has AI/ML supporting GPU and Neural Engine cores have been expanding year after year.

You are right that Apple has AI integrated in some of their products, but at the same time, they missed some opportunities.  One example is Siri.  They had a chance to have the best assistant in the market and didn't happen.  Another example is Apple suite of apps.  Microsoft and Google have done an excellent job by integrating AI into their apps, and Apple has done nothing. I don't think that people don't know or understand how Apple has integrated AI into their products. Is just that other companies have done a better job with AI than Apple with some applications and services. 

Apple's genius with technology is providing a simple 'interface' to very complex and ever-evolving sophistication. Just because you can't see the AI/ML in Apple products doesn't mean that it's not there. You're confusing this Generative AI craze over the past year with Apple's decades of ML efforts. Most of that ML tech is "invisible" and "just works". Humans find it difficult to appreciate things they can't see or don't understand.
