Gurman: Apple Believes Its AI Technology Is Two Years Behind Rivals

Yeah, that's just a joke post.

I remember how a lot of people online believed that Galaxy S smartphones turn any white bright circle into a Moon. That's just completely false.

What you don't think it was a flatbread?

I wouldn't be surprised if the board ousts Tim Cook over this, if the AI boom continues and they continue to be far behind on it.

Since the passing of Steve Jobs, Apple has not been about creating the most user-friendly products, but rather about cutting corners to maximize profits. Tim Cook is doing an excellent job at not making the most beneficial products for customers and instead focusing on pleasing shareholders. Apple's board loves the fact that Cook is doing that, so they will not oust him.

I'm sure Ternus would be better suited as CEO at this point honestly.

Ternus is similar to Cook. The most Jobs-like CEO would be Scott Forstall, but the Apple board doesn't want another Jobs. The Apple board wants another Cook, because the Apple board are greedy corportate scum, just like Cook, whose main desire is to maximize profits and please shareholders, and to achieve that by cutting corners on products and giving customers less for their money.

a couple teaspoons of sugar in your morning beverage of choice might sweeten your outlook on life.

i realised you had a sense of humour when you said the moon is like a lightbulb...

um, nope.
it doesn't emit light, it just reflects sunlight.
big difference.

can you take Sun shots as well?

It's like a light bulb for the camera, it's a very small and extremely bright object. I didn't think I had to be this specific.

"can you take Sun shots as well?"

Yes, of course.

It can even take photos of actual light bulbs

I mean, I can be first to the market with anything and be two years ahead. That don’t mean my product is better or more private/secure. I’m not an apple fanboy at all but they can take their time developing and rolling this out. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Could leverage the entire iPhone 16 userbase for AI training when charging during user specified times and reward users who participate

+ free replacement battery after x months of participation if falling under the 80% threshold

This reminds me of that PlayStation 3 software where they would do some proteins or molecules or bonds related sims (can’t remember the exact terms and purpose).

“Folding@Home” it was called, it did look interesting and the idea was that you could open it and leave it running for when you were done playing.

It would leverage the then “marvel” of tech PS3’s Cell CPU cores to do its thing and submit results online.

I don’t know if it did work, or if it was prowess related marketing in the end, etc. But pretty sure Apple could leverage similar ideas even more and a lot easier, like the AI compute power while charging.
