Yeah… Apple is doomed. Again, and again, and again. Ever since iPod was introduced more than two decades ago.
That is just an assumption look at what DarwinAI was telling the press against AI-powered Visual Quality Inspection.Buying a ton of AI companies really makes it feel like they were caught with their pants down last year. I don't think they thought AI would move this fast and felt they had more time. But you don't buy every company under the sun when you are playing from the front. It's a catch up move from a big company normally.
At some point the sun will swallow the earth, though. And it will be because of the iPod.Yeah… Apple is doomed. Again, and again, and again. Ever since iPod was introduced almost two decades ago.
There is a huge difference between:Apple has bought over 30 AI companies in the last two years more than Microsoft and Google. Apple is not only the dark horse in the AI race, but it has all the ingredients to win in it.
No. It’s far too clever.Is this a response from Siri?
Your highnessApple has bought over 30 AI companies in the last two years more than Microsoft and Google. Apple is not only the dark horse in the AI race, but it has all the ingredients to win in it.
I see a new Apple wearable incoming! Gotta move beyond blood oxygen.Within healthcare, DarwinAI’s technology resulted in the development of COVID-Net, an open source system to diagnose Covid-19 via chest x-rays.
Amazing how so many people don't realize the extent of AI automation in manufacturing and because Mac Rumors titled the article "Apple Buys DarwinAI Ahead of Major Generative AI Updates Coming in iOS 18" and used a Siri image they have totally misinterpreted whats being conveyed. Yes has nothing to do with WWDC 2024 OS's or Siri.AI is evident throughout Apple’s offerings, particularly ML. The catching up description is opinion because they have not talked about LLMs. The breakthrough will be an LLM almost entirely on one’s device. That level of security will be a major breakthrough. Bringing AI to the supply chain can be equally important and could be very important in the design, development. And manufacture of Apple products.
Well, there's some personal agenda masquerading as analysis.Apple got caught off guard.

Apple acquired Canada-based company DarwinAI earlier this year to build out its AI team, reports Bloomberg. DarwinAI created AI technology for inspecting components during the manufacturing process, and it also had a focus on making smaller and more efficient AI systems.

If Apple wants to be able to rival Microsoft's Bing, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and other generative AI offerings, it will need to integrate generative AI into a range of products. Apple is testing large language models, and AI features are said to be coming to Siri, Shortcuts, Messages, Apple Music, and more.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has promised that Apple will "break new ground" in generative AI in 2024. "We believe it will unlock transformative opportunities for our users," said Cook.
Let's hope they can at least make Siri as good as Google assistant was back a decade ago, because at the moment it still can't even tell me stats from a basketball game currently.Apple has bought over 30 AI companies in the last two years more than Microsoft and Google. Apple is not only the dark horse in the AI race, but it has all the ingredients to win in it.
How would you define a winner?Apple has bought over 30 AI companies in the last two years more than Microsoft and Google. Apple is not only the dark horse in the AI race, but it has all the ingredients to win in it.
As Steve often pointed out, higher R&D spend doesn’t equate to more innovation. In fact, Apple was far more innovative when they were spending less than 1/30th of what Tim is spending today.Apple has bought over 30 AI companies in the last two years more than Microsoft and Google. Apple is not only the dark horse in the AI race, but it has all the ingredients to win in it.
Cook only understands purchasing and shipping and should never be in charge of innovation.Apple got caught off guard.
The executives were busy hanging out mingling with Hollywood stars and Fashion Celebrities. The geeks at Microsoft and Google are years ahead of Apple now when it comes to AI. Apple software looks primitive compared to them.
Also, Apple's software development pace is glacial.
Look at their software. Final Cut and iWork. When was the last time they added any meaningful features!
