Apple’s Craig Federighi Explains Apple Intelligence Delays, Siri’s Future and More | WSJ

[@wsj]

Watch the full, wide-ranging interview with Apple’s head of software Craig Federighi here: on.wsj.com/4dZdJ3c

[@AngeAlexiel]

you could have asked way more things , like what's happening with Apple and Meta not signing the AI act in the EU ?? and if maybe they want to control their AI so much that it's lacking the thing that makes AI fun in the process... i'm still an Apple fan , but i'm a bit skeptic about their approach , even though theirs is more reponsable than all the others with our data.

He’s a master of the interview. He didn’t avoid the question, yet he also didn’t give a straightforward answer. It was the kind of response that seemed to offer everything, while actually revealing nothing at all.

I actually like Federighi's response to the debate on what is a photo. It is nice knowing internally that there are debates whether that cleanup feature should be released and consequence of it when it does change the idea of what a photo is. Personally, it's unfortunate they're going to release for probably reasons surrounding the nature of competitiveness between tech companies.

[@tiagomaqz]

Me too. I truly appreciated that part of this interview. Although I think it’s a risky move from a business pov I respect that approach and it does align with Apple’s vision.

[@Paulo-i9h]

LOL its an excuse to hold back on features. Photoshop has been around for many decades. People have been photoshopping photos since the 90s.

He's your classic VP. Full of everything and not telling the truth. ChatGPT knows WAY more than the beta "Apple Intelligence" siri does about me. I can ask chatGPT to tell me about myself, and it's pretty scary how good of a job it does describing me. Apple Intelligence says "two wind turbines turn to each other, and they say..." blah blah blah on and on. What a joke... Literally, it describes me by telling a bad joke, that has nothing to do with me.

Federighi is great.. He and Tim are very good executives these guys are very good at what they do.

Still you have this weird Mac OS settings window that you can’t maximize though there’s the button on the top left signaling that you can.

[@masterwatch]

@@gutzbenj right now the latest macOS is buggy as I do keep finding little problems and strange visual aesthetic errors.

So called AI experts in the field either don't understand that "inductive reasoning can't capture deductive reasoning" or they do but they keep peddling this story that it will because they can raise a lot of money from the hype. The progress seems exponential (mostly due to so many companies getting billions to spend in hardware to train), but in reality is logarithmic, we are already getting new models that perform worse in some areas than previous models rather than being an improvement all around. Ultimately these AI models are just great for things that don't require high precision or accuracy of result.

Craig is a national treasure. What a guy!

That clean your AirPods guide? It’s a video that launched on Apple support channel 13 Days ago😮 This WSJ video is so old apparently… Maybe this was even filmed around the iPhone launch🧐

[@Aneliuse]

They might have had to do some editing and all that first

[@YegorCreative]

I trust someone when he looks to the interviewer and answers them by looking in their eyes, you can do that Mrs Federighi

[@KStutsman]

Craig is the physical representation of the word "Corny"

[@Turnpost2552]

Honestly good feature. 9:20 usually not on Apple side of things but this is solid absolutely should be mainstay feature.

Craig avoiding eye contact says so much

[@5209582045]

My guy

[@_september_4799]

As someone who despises constant eye contact I’ll only give my perspective looking into the distance is like adjusting away from a source of constant anxiety static on my thoughts. Makes thoughts flow smoother. Not everything has to do with the observer.

[@tiagomaqz]

I paid attention to that too. I feel like they do have something good cocking up for 2025. Maybe something unexpected and I’m assuming Graig, who usually does look people in the eye was avoiding eye contact this time because he was trying to concentrate on giving somewhat satisfactory answers but at the same time not spoil the next step for Apple. I could be wrong.

@@tiagomaqz This.

[@comrade_rahul_1]

I really like the part where he thought about "What is a photo?" and how companies treat the data. That's very logical and true. I love ChatGPT but I like the Apple's approach of on-device LLMs (SLMs) here.

[@GAZMAN2002]

What is the point of an interview when the person won't give a direct answer to a question. Show the road map or don't bother talking to the press.
