I listened to the Upgrade podcast tonight and Jason Snell was setting the bar quite high for WWDC (and complaining a lot about Siri). I can’t remember the last WWDC that felt this consequential.
Got a tip for us?

Microsoft Debuts New Copilot+ Windows PCs Designed Around AI

First time in a long time Apple has their back against the wall.
The biggest thing aren't the annoucements, but the fact that Microsoft held an actual in-person event when Apple is still doing these pre-recorded shows
not bloated and not able to run stuff?
would be very fast when you try to run something incompatible - and it pops up "can;t run this".
Microsoft tried ARM on a tablet/laptop a while back. Didnt set the world on fire then.
Unless they sort out how to run legacy code - and well - then it's a hard move forward...
Meanwhile Apple - "Hey Siri what's the weather outside" - "Playing What's Outside by Heather on Apple Music"
isnt part of the issue with Win AI that it sends to servers for everything and is slow?
if Apple put at least some AI on device, it should be more responsive. Should be the operative word. And how much is local as well...
Oh. Ffs. AI is so much hype, it’s ridiculous.
MS has Prism emulator while Apple had Rosetta 2. They say it will solve the problem. Unless we see some real-life tests that prove otherwise, we don't have to doubt their claim. Earlier, they did not have all the major OEMs behind them because of the issues that you specified. Now they have all the OEMs behind them. They must have seen something that made them go all in.
you do know Apple just makes the emoji that a standards body says are new?New emojis too. Don't forget to mention them.
it's hardly worth all the noise about them.
even Apple could just press release them now.
Is there any other OS whose change log (new features log) prominently features Emojis? I have not come across any, but if you can show me, I will stop making these comments
They're ahead of the curve.

Apple’s problem (not even a mistake) was choosing to market the feature/abilities as ML rather than AI.
All I’ve heard about is chatbots and generative media. So, something for the “I’m bored!” crowd and an additional something for the dimwitted, greedy social media “stars” to easier spread lies and other nonsensical garbage.
P.S. Generative media is fun and has its usefulness for some professionals who are otherwise creative. However, at least in my opinion, it’s a better fit as a supplemental tool (e.g., correcting grammar, data organization, object identification).

It's not difficult to see this is a more unique situation. Most of the things you just mentioned are terms tech geeks are very familiar with. AI is a different animal and even my wife has heard a lot about it and she knows nothing about the examples you mentioned. Sorry
Apple is a $3 trillion dollar company that doesn't even sell cloud computing services and has a massive R+D department that are always experimenting with new ideas long before the public knows about them.
Over half of Microsoft and Amazon's market capital is from cloud computing, not their user facing products because their hardware and software products are ****.
Tim Apple:
8gb on a Mac are like 16 even on a Surface on arm.
So happy my desktop PC is missing an NPU - it'll prevent Microsoft from ramming this garbage down my throat. It might be time to finally ditch Windows and move to Linux full time.
Curious to see if Apple will be as heavy handed with it with MacOS. Guess we'll find out soon.

Not true at all.
The look of some old settings menus didn't change for compatibility reasons with older applications not for other reasons like "it's a skinned version of Vista".
The impression is that MacOS and iOS have generally lost, no new ideas, no improvement beyond stupid emojis. Windows on ARM looks far superior and in file management, far better. It is a real computer after all. iPad can only be used for watching Netflix and its not suited for any kind of real work, that has to deal with file management.
On hardware side, new Elite X is also almost as good as M3.
Conclusion: Apple lost the mobile computing crown.

Yeah, they’ve posted the video now and they even bring up Intel and AMD even though nothing being presented was made by them
"Apple is dying"
"Apple has their backs against the wall"
"Apple is in decline"
And then the stock price continues to go up and up.
It'll improve with everything. A year ago we were watching creepy Will Smith eat spaghetti and look how far AI generated videos have already come. Imagine in a few years!
You doubt they released new Surface laptops designed around AI as the story says? They literally did that. Whether they are good or not is a question.
