Hahaha. I wish we could freeze this and revisit in 15 years to see what has actually happened.
I have one. However like many people I dont carry my camera with me, which is why improvements in camera quality are welcome.
Tesla’s Traffic Aware Cruise Control is still plagued by phantom braking. FSD is even worse. If you want to see for yourself, test drives are free.
I understand the context and it’s not a hardware upgrade to get rid of phantom breaking.
It’s to increase the processing power of hardware 3 to be able to getting close to robotaxi.
Good for Apple.Wait till it’s ready. No one is clamoring for this anyway. If I need AI I just use who ever is best as the moment. Sometimes it’s Open AI, Sometimes Claude, Grok even. It’s an amazing nascent tech that’s not ready for prime time from anyone. There is no need for Apple to chase this and rush it into their products. It’s a fools errand. Anyone tell you different, there’s a reason it’s called a fools erand.
HW3 isn’t up to the level of HW4 and beyond, which can do more computations/sec than hw3. Tesla already committed to upgrade hw3 chips to those who bought fsd.
That sounds like Cameron Crowe.

For how many years have we complained about Siri? It was almost revolutionary when it was released, but significant resources were not invested to develop it. For the world's wealthiest company, they behave like the Apple in 1990, focusing on two or three major projects at a time. With all of its employees, Apple should have 20 development groups (pick a number) firing on all cylinders. Siri should be at the head of the pack, but instead as Cloudyskies22 describes, Siri is almost useless.
The same can be said of HomeKit. We all want smarter homes, but the paring process of new components remains so archaic and different between various components. At this point, new devices should be automatically integrated into the system after going through a security process. Furthermore, because Siri is involved, it is only partially reliable. It is so annoying having to say, "Siri, turn off the bed lights" two or three times for it to occur. I agree with the sentiment expressed by other posters in that it seems that Apple employees don't even use their own products. I don't believe we are asking for the sun to rise from the west; we just want the rough steps leveled out and reliability.
But, how could they have "slept on AI"? Does Apple's leadership not have a finger on the pulse of the industry?
And, "Apple Intelligence" is comically garbage. If I am searching for information, I have come to rely upon Grok3. I haven't used the latest version of ChatGPT because the earlier versions were frustrating because of the simple things it couldn't do.
I respectfully disagree, but I think Apple put the cart before the horse. They should have developed a LLM on servers first because they knew they were already behind with a substandard product and then modified it to work on-device. It was interesting to watch Elon Musk's presentation on Grok3 because he compared the LLM model to the mini-model (I have no insider knowledge as to how much smaller), which performed only slightly less.
I do appreciate the effort on preserving user's privacy because I think we do want that from an AI, especially as they do become more powerful and "all knowing".
But, isn't that Apple's fault? Apple chose to put the cart before the horse. Since Apple was behind, it should have developed a LLM on servers first to catch up and have more computing resources available to make Siri more capable. The end user isn't going to give Apple credit for having it run on devices. They will look to see which AI performs best. Currently, it is a triage process to see which AI survives into the next round. At this point, Siri will only survive because it is pushed by Apple, but Siri may not survive for long in this rapidly developing field. And, if Siri doesn't survive, HomeKit doesn't survive.
Don't get me wrong, I think eventually people will appreciate having on device AI because it will be "all knowing", so privacy will be more important, and people will want their own AI going around with them.
