Tantalizing details of Jony Ive's AI device leak after OpenAI meeting
I can't help but be intrigued by this. I hope it ends up being great.
That said, there's a lot of big, arrogant talk. Altman says LoveFrom is the densest collection of talent that's ever existed in the world, and Ive just nods along. The cynical take is this is two men longing to be significant. Ive wants to recapture the significance he felt from helping develop the iPhone and other Apple products. Altman wants to win the AI war.
The grandiosity of Ive and Altman's video smacks of Imran Chaudri talking about the Humane AI Pin (before we knew what it was).
It feels desperate. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

Craig Federighi ignited Apple's AI efforts after using Microsoft's Copilot
Siri used to be smarter. For example, I used to be able to use it on my Mac to open specific folders. For some reason, features have been dropped or disabled. Really hoping we're at a turning point with it now.Rogue01 said:"That has seemed nonsensical since Apple has had Siri for almost 15 years"
They can't be serious? Siri has been dumb since day one, and 13 years later since the introduction, Siri is still dumb. Can't even play a playlist on my phone. Siri - Sorry, I can't do that. So no, Apple has not had an Intelligent Assistant, ever. The majority of responses are, 'I can't do that' or 'Let me look that up on the internet'. I asked for Siri for directions while driving and her response was, 'You need to pull over for that', and this was the response through CarPlay. I am not holding my breath for anything AI from Apple since they let Siri continue to be stupid for over a decade.

Craig Federighi ignited Apple's AI efforts after using Microsoft's Copilot
Copilot is a rebranding of the GPT-enabled Bing chatbot that was made public at the end of 2022, so I presume that's what this article is referring to.gatorguy said:Shouldn't it be Christmas of 2023 and not 2022? I don't think Copilot had been released until middle of last year had it?
If so Craig played with it 6 months ago, not a year and a half back, and thus Apple didn't get serious until earlier this year, perhaps the last 4-5 months.
EDIT: Verified that Copilot wasn't announced until March of last year. But apparently Mr. Federighi was playing around with pre-release Github code on the project. -
Jon Stewart opens up about Apple interference in his show
Nothing. Watch his bit on AI that just came out. It's spot on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20TAkcy3aBYRDWTX said:
So, what did he say that wasn't true?Michae1 said:I was such a big fan of his, but it’s sad to see what he’s become. I feel like he got starred for attention during his absence and now just saying/doing anything to get in a spotlight.
And of course, now that we know Apple is prepping a big AI push, it's clear why they didn't want him (or anyone) saying anything remotely negative about AI.
Stewart is as good as ever. I'm an Apple fan and have been for decades. I even used to work at Apple. But I never want to get to the point where I immediately write off anyone who questions Apple (or in this case, a technology that Apple happens to be working on). That seems unhealthy.

Apple's failed 'Project Titan' was a Full Self Driving gamble

If they really thought they could leapfrog to the forefront of FSD in a few short years then, at best, it was wishful thinking and at worst crazy.
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. Rebels. Troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. Whole some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do."
