oh yes, I'm acutely aware. Google Gemini has been a train wreck on my phone. Can't wait for Google's crappy AI to be worse on an iPhone. But it's gonna be a tough race for how bad it is on a Pixel phone.
Got a tip for us?

We will all need nose plugs soon. The smell of what could be forthcoming could be preceded by the stinky haze from non-truths floating in the air like trial balloons.
The only good thing about the non-audience presentations is that the presenters do not have to listen to the boos and negative comments from an audience responding to their rubbish.

More likely to make the wealthiest 1% who own the companies that will use it most much wealthier and widen the wealth gap to a point where it’s not just unrecoverable but where not peace is the only way to find justice and stop the rich. And I am part of the problem. I have helped investors for years and I see the problems and they’re so very real right now more than ever.

meh, that was said about every major innovation. Truth to it sure, but nothing new.
“Advancements” like having to license Google Gemini to replace it?

Apple never intended to have a “response” to the likes of ChatGPT, or any other LLM service. This is clearly obvious by Apple’s decision to not invest in huge AI data centers over the past few years. Google has spent almost 200 billion, OpenAI had plans to spend upwards of 1.4 trillion by 2030 (recently cut to 600 billion). Apple’s capex spending last year was $14 billion, that’s all their spending, not just anything related to AI.
Instead, Apple has concentrated their efforts (R&D) towards on-device LLM’s and they have actually succeeded in this area. Not only with their “local” foundation models, but also by including a neural engine on almost every device since 2017 with the release of the A11 Bionic.
I’d wager that Apple may have tried to shoehorn in a new set of “advanced” features based on LLM’s into Siri, and realized it didn’t work as well as they intended, so they scrapped it and had to revamp all of Siri. This is the reason for the long delay. With all the criticism of Siri, they can’t really afford to release a “new” Siri that didn’t live up to promises.
And the deal with Google to license their Gemini model, was their realization that forcing users to offload more complex requests to ChatGPT is/was a horrible experience. Gemini saves Apple a ton of money and buys them time to build up their own foundation model for their “Private Cloud Compute”, while also allowing Apple to provide a more seamless experience.

People really need to let go of the Jobs rose colored glasses. Being CEO and founder at the beginning of a new market is quite different than a CEO in a crowded mature market.

Nope, it's because it's a direct quote from the press release linked to in the article.
The round mouse happened under Steve’s watch. .Mac happened under Steve’s watch. The Cube happened under Steve’s watch. Heck, “You’re holding it wrong” was under Steve’s watch 😀 And for years under Steve’s watch, they only had 4-5 products and did nothing but iterate.
Yeah, Apple’s response to the likes of ChatGPT is creating some of the devices that ChatGPT REQUIRES customers to have to use their AI. 🙂
Well, sure, but if you forget all of that he was incredible. Of course the truth is comparing back then and now is apples and oranges. The tech, the competition, the consumers and the size of the company were all very very different. It's almost impossible to guess what Jobs would do if CEO today.

Etwas verspätet dazugekommen.
Teheran auf Apple TV, gerade erste Staffel beendet und kann sagen das mich selten eine Serie so gefesselt hat, unglaublich spannend.

Dear Apple.
Please make M5 Studio cheaper and with more RAM. Leave AI to companies and people who know what they're doing, you had your shot with "Apple Intelligence". Nobody needs on-device models wasting power and cycles, they're useless, and everybody and their dog has sufficient mobile internets to run phone AI off the cloud.
That concludes the end of "AI Advancements" you should do.
Thank you.

TBH, Siri even didn't remember last time when Apple lied about the promising schedule of Apple AI, but my Perplexity AI just does in 3 seconds, for free.
