  • Apple researchers take aim at AI hallucinations and true conversations

    Apple employs very smart people and is definitely a leading technology company. They are not behind in that regard.

    But they are behind in integrating those technologies into a compelling AI product — that is, a truly useful product that people and organizations are willing to pay for. 

    They can certainly catch up, but it’s delusional to assert they aren’t behind.

    there is no profitable AI company right now. And no other company has a ‘personal’ product that runs on device and protects privacy. Apple is looking forward to something far more meaningful than making bad art and hyper realistic videos and chat.

    May as well. The system is becoming increasingly corrupted by the old man in orange make up. So why not?

    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.
    Siri is a model, which integrates several functionalities within several apps. Siri is more complex than just a single LLM app. But it is no execuse or defend Apple. 
    Even Alexa or Google could not provide a proper solution about voice assistant although Amazon is heavily invested in Antrophic or Google has Gemini. 

    Apple wants Siri to run locally. For local on-device running, former AI experts from Apple may have more knowledge with their experienced and deep researches than any others from META.

    Even Steve Jobs can be replaced. Therefore, I don't worry that one or few AI experts leave Apple as long as new fresh AI experts can come. But it does not seem to be the case.
    It will be more serious if the whole team wants to leave Apple, which seems to be the case. More and more researchers are willing to leave.

    The market does not seem to be confident about Apple when their stock has been flat since April 25 while others are hitting ATH. 

    Tim Cook has been silent. Maybe, he is preparing something. But he needs to respond. 






    No he doesn't have to respond. You can ignore this stuff and work towards a system that actually helps users with real issues and doesn't ship off all your clicks to the highest bidder. That's what SIRI was about. trying to cap info sharing and it is a difficult issue. And AI simply steps around it by saying EVERYTHING you do is traceable, sellable and everyone will watch.

  • What Apple products will get hit the hardest by Trump's new tariff orders

    mark fearingmark fearing
    Such a pathetic way to run - anything, much less a country. Imagine the import and export people trying to figure out what the orange make-up wearing old man decides each week. And of course, we all love rising prices. I'm sure this is a great economic move because he's shown how well he runs companies....Sad place to be.

  • North Korean hackers use Mac malware to target crypto firms

    Can't say I'm broken hearted. The entire crypto-bro schemes are stinky and with the orange ones involvement shows exactly the kind of scam they are. So just like drug dealers getting robbed, you sort of expect this.
