  • Meta has poached two more heavyweights from Apple's AI team

    Poaching AI talent from Apple?  Really?  Has Meta never used Siri?  Are they following the disaster of Apple Intelligence?  One would think poaching from Apple for AI talent would be the last place anyone would look.  Or, these individuals are experts in AI, but Apple's ridiculous restrictions are preventing them from demonstrating their expertise, so they happily bailed and went elsewhere.  I am not holding my breath on Apple 'fixing' Siri, especially when they claim it won't be fixed until late Spring 2026.  Apple is behind in AI and continuing to fall behind in AI.
    There is a LOT of talent at Apple, you can just figure that out by the papers and certain WWDC videos. There are also a lot of horrid VP's at Apple.

  • M4 Max Mac Studio vs M1 Ultra Mac Studio compared: A multi-generational shootout

    michelb76michelb76
    Apple seems to be already running into the same problems as they had with Intel chips. Performance between gen 1 and 4 should be way higher. Guessing they probably want to make the R&D money back with incremental updates and upgrade pricing, which makes sense. Guess i'll have to wait for M5/6 to be worth it, coming from M1.

    Bummer. Was hoping to get the m6 max or ultra MBP in 2nd half of 2026. 
    How? They have to smear out the chip updates to make the most of them. Can't speed up releases, it would cannibalise their sales.

  • Google's note-taking app Keep is dead on Apple Watch

    michelb76michelb76
    Makes sense. There are many Watch apps/components that are useless or unusable on the watch. I'd say many more apps could be removed since they don't add much, if anything, to the watch. Why waste any time on this?

    A better partner for Apple would be xAi with Grok. They currently appear to be iterating faster than the rest and also have a lower user base than the rest which may mean that they are more open for the massive distribution that Apple could offer.
    well no, Grok/Musk/X are as far removed from Apple's values as possible. Highly unlikely. Also, Grok is way behind the other models.
