Kuo: Apple Could Spend $4.75 Billion on AI Servers in 2024

I never said Apple Silicon was intended to do deep learning.
Some people were simply asking, "Why doesn't Apple use their own chips instead of buying NVIDIA?"
... and the Server cluster will be called "Skynet". Hmm.........
It has. But not consistently better.
I was doing fine with Siri reading back my text messages, notifications, and reading pages to me. Suddenly, now, she will stop reading halfway through, and sometimes stop reading in the middle of a sentence.
and this is not even to mention several functionalities that she used to have, but that apple took away, like Siri ability to search Photos. like series ability to add stuff to notes. And my HomePod off and on suddenly sometimes does not recognize my voice, and will not perform the personal requests that the day before it was able to do.
I use Siri throughout the day every day, and I just want it to be better. And frankly, I don’t want to wait until next September for her to get better.
Indeed, Apple silicon is developed to execute ‘AI code’, not to do the actual deep learning. It makes no sense to suggest that Apple silicon is used for developing large language models.
As to just throwing money at a problem: if you want to have Your own 5x zoom lens, or modem, you cannot use ideas that others have patented first. And that can be very hard, talent or no talent.
Luckily people like you are not leaders, otherwise we will still be using horse carriages and hot balloons to travel, and human carriers for communication.
AI will be the dominate revolution for the next two decade and bring humanity benefits and knowledge far exceed what the internet did in the beginning of the 21st century. Can anyone imagine going back to a time where you dont have the knowledge of the entire world at your finger tip instantly…and have to look up rows of encyclopedia books at a library…
I'm just 2 years behind you and I feel the same.
Though I am not quite sure we will have shuffled off this mortal coil before **** hits the fan, things seem to be accelerating quite a bit lately…
I could happily because I grew up doing that and I actually know how to turn the pages of a book.
And what exactly has been the benefit of all "the knowledge of the entire world at your finger tip(s)"?
From where I'm sitting most people aren't interested in that — they don't care about knowledge, getting smarter, learning new languages — they only care about the latest Tik Tok or Instagram or Facebook post/meme/joke/fail…
All that knowledge at our fingertips you say… and look where we are.
Scroll scroll scroll scroll…
not surprised. Al is basically the future and more are going this route so apple need to get on it.
Mother Nature is going to be really pissed off.
"AI’s massive compute load doesn’t just generate carbon — it uses huge amounts of fresh water for cooling. Microsoft’s water usage went up 34% between 2021 and 2022, and they blame AI computation. ChatGPT uses about 500 mL of water every time you have a conversation with it." Link

Nah, Siri is trash. Apple Maps has gotten a lot better lately but Siri continues to struggle with basic requests made in simple English. That doesn’t even account for the times it messes up and thinks it can’t do things it absolutely can do (like the times it tells me it can’t set a timer because there’s no Timer app installed on my Apple Watch). Siri firmly deserves to be the butt of jokes to this day.
Will it still parse “set a timer for four minutes” as “set a timer 4 4 minutes”? I guess that’s worth five billion dollars.
Please do, Apple. Siri is so dumb, it’s an embarrassment. Today I asked her about the weather and got a random playlist. Last time she said that the weather during the night will be pleasant because there’s going to be a lot of sunshine…
Siri could get a complete AI overhaul yet the competition will still be light years ahead.
Will it help me code like ChatGPT does? And will it be free, basically being subsidised by hardware/the App Store like Metal and other APIs are?
Well, Apple could spend $100 billion on AI servers if they wanted to. That doesn't mean they are going to. Kuostradomus strikes again!
Yep, but it should be "All that fake knowledge at our fingertips you say… and look where we are."
The stuff that LLM's are good at, will only be used to replace people. So you young techies better be planning on working in the Fast Food industry in a few years, because there will be no need for entry level and most of you won't be at top level because your skill set has collapsed to "Hey chatGPT, how do I do ?????".
Let's be honest if said Skynet is being controlled by the likes of Siri then I like Humanity's chances.
I don’t know. It depends on what you use it for. I recently tried a few experiments on getting ChatGPT to write me various things, songs, a bio, a short story, based around a few keywords. It’s pretty damn impressive. I think if you’re asking it to give you some kind of opinion then you’re using it wrong. Aside anything else it’s two years out of date with current affairs, current tech or anything else.
You are probably right here
