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

    danoxdanox

    I don’t know anyone so loyal that a $200M sign in bonus won’t sway them. We’re not talking about a 20% salary increase here. This is lifechanging money.

    Do you really think Zuckerberg is going to pay or live up to the $200 million payday? What’s the catch? Think about it: 200 million is almost half of what Apple paid for the Next computer, which cost $404 million. This is an example of an out-of-control owner-founder CEO who’s spending money like a drunken sailor.

    So far, this drunken CEO is tens of billions of dollars in the hole with his AI and VR projects, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. And by the way, if you’re still putting together or hiring people at this point, you definitely don’t have any solutions that are better than any of the competition, including Apple.

    Apple will already be importing the first batches of the 17 range. What a mess from the most idiotic President ever. I thought he was on US companies side. 
    The only side he (Taco) is on is his own, the minions/supporters still can’t figure that out yet, a concrete Tariff deal with India that is actually worth anything is doubtful why? There is no trust at any level…

    Sounds like a perfect use case for an active AI Agent that screens every goddamn message and every email to (mercilessly) eliminate the ones you do not want to see ever……

    I would call that useful practical AI tech, I don’t care about AI when it comes to drawing social media pictures this however is a perfect example of what useful AI can/could be helping to solve a persistent problem.

  • Apple has 18 months to sort out Apple Intelligence

    You have to wonder how they've been so caught out in the AI space, complacency — they thought they were doing enough when in fact they were so far from it. Though I still have an iPhone 16 Pro, I swapped to a Samsung S25 Ultra recently and the AI experience is much better along with other things to — can anyone say autocorrect, as that is still garbage on my iPhone. 18 months? That long hey.
    Why is Samsung using Qualcomm processors in their so-called flagship phones if they’re doing so well? Or signing deals with Tesla?

  • BMW confirms it will not support CarPlay Ultra

    Car manufacturers are not going to give all their screens to Apple or want to reply on them for their onboard computing.

    It just won’t happen. 

    If Apple want to push this they need to partner with a manufacturer to make a reference vehicle. 
    For me, it was the right decision to not strive for Apple Car.

    As I work in the car industry, I can tell that the car industry is a terrible business because it is just a low margin business. 

    I am pretty sure that Apple will find a compromise with the rest of OEMs.
    Premium brands like BMW or Mercedes will limit or will not support Apple Car, but there are tons of others like Stellantis, Dacia etc., which have no capability of developing their own eco-system.
    In time like Apple Watch, Apple Pay, or AirPods, Apple CarPlay will breakthrough because there will be one or two car companies across the world that will adopt it, All Apple has to do is keep iterating and improving it’s abilities……
