Maybe but they’re already using AI (Claude) in a lot of their day-to-day engineering. What they use to develop and what features they provide users are very different.
They are different, and yet one always seems to lead to the other, no?
Companies shoving AI dung into every corner of their products prove to be devoid of ethics & values, putting profit over people. I could be wrong, but I wont be.
That’s correct, but companies like Apple have put profits above employees for a long time. Granted, high pay and good benefits have been a path to attract talent that would increase profits, but profit has always been the motive.
So I don’t think you’re wrong that they might have a big layoff, but it’s not related to adding more AI into the product.
That said, having good, well integrated, local AI features that are optional to use are purely a plus for the customer. Local AI Siri, local AI multitasking (e.g. “insert a summary of that messages thread into a new draft email”), local AI reminders of things you might have forgotten, etc.
That’s probably not exactly what’s going on here though.
