  • Craig Federighi ignited Apple's AI efforts after using Microsoft's Copilot

    The quote that resonated with me from the WSJ article is that Apple can do pretty much anything they set their minds to. I think that really is the bottom line. Apple has competent management, smart employees, and practically limitless financial resources. When you have those things, you can do just about anything (within the laws of physics)
    Competent management wouldn't have let Siri languish for a decade or spent $1 billion a year on a failed car project.  The state of Vision Pro is still up in the air.  Competent management would have also invested whatever it takes to have their own in-house LLM to power Siri and have their own AI datacenter infrastructure ready to go by now.  Apple saw the potential of technologies like Siri when they acquired it over a decade ago.  They should leaders in this field at this point.  Instead, it's OpenAI, Microsoft and Nvidia stealing the limelight.
    I would have to agree with Siri languishing. It seems like every time there is an update, Siri loses the ability to answer a question that she's answered many, many time before. I'm hoping the next version of Siri will blow away what we've grown to grudgingly love.

  • Decade-old Apple Car project may be completely dead

    I was so looking forward to hearing in 7 years that my Apple Car was just placed on the Obsolete list.

    I've never listened to a minute of Joe Rogan. I honestly don't care if someone does. It makes no difference in my life. 

    I believe in free speech. To paraphrase George Carlin, if you don't like something, change the channel.
    So what do you do when you realize you're surrounded by those who don't change the channel, and they've been convinced you're the enemy because you did?
    I never really worry about what others think of me. They either like me or don’t. I’m fine with either.

    I can't wait to have Google Chrome as my default browser! Oh, never mind. I *can* wait.
