This will probably be the way services companies will go.  They want/need to train their AI models, consumers haven’t shown that they will pay anything extra for AI functionality, so service companies like Adobe want the training data (i.e. your work) for free.  Absolutely wrong, and I hope there is push back against this.  Because if not, more and more service companies will do this exact same thing.  Don’t allow them to cross that line — cancel your subscription and/or close your account!

This clown has been saying for months that an international release will happen around mid-year. Now he’s saying it is because sales are low?  Could it be that the plan was always for international expansion after WWDC?  Why does everything have to be a soap opera with this guy?

Slow news day,

There are plenty of more interesting things to report on at Computex than this.

For example, AMD's new mobile chips (Strix Point) shipping July 2024:

Is it possible that Qualcomm is so focused on Apple that AMD will end up eating their lunch?  If AMD digs into their mobile market, no amount of PCs sold will make up for their loss.

How much do these machines cost?  Isn’t it as simple as building more of them?  How many of the 150m discarded phones are iPhones?  I’m guessing a minority, but what other company besides Apple is going to these lengths to recycle and reduce waste/mining?  Does this fact get any consideration in the EU, which portrays itself as environmentally conscious?

Even IF this is true, so what?  Siri doesn’t generate revenue, and Apple will not compromise security or privacy with any partnerships, so what would be the harm?  I really don’t care either way.  Offering different LLMs in the App Store might be interesting though.
