Apple’s New CEO Is Reportedly Pushing to Stuff More AI into iPhones (gizmodo.com)

Apple CEO John Ternus pressured Apple senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi to “accelerate the company’s road map and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri,” reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.

Citing anonymous sources, Gurman writes that Ternus is “frustrated by what he sees as a reluctance to embrace AI with the same urgency as competitors,” and pushed Federighi for changes in a meeting behind closed doors. Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”

I just wish you could turn all non essential features off. I perform music using my mac laptop and the m4 processor works great, but the recent update to apple intelligence forced me to turn siri off entirely as id lost processing headroom that had allowed me to perform without risking audio drops. I often wonder what other background processing is costing me that headroom, but the only thing i can easily turn off with a script is spotlight indexing. Wish I could switch off every background process with a click, apple could call it “performance mode” or some shit and introduce it with a slick new presentation but i guess they don’t because all tech companies value nowadays is not users but data…
