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.”

As long as it can be shut off, I'm okay with Apple shoving this into the devices.

I like the option called "off".

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…

I would imagine that Activity Monitor could be used to sort out all your processes then work through which ones do what and if they can be shut off and what, if any, daemons will restart them then see what can be setup with Automator? Hmmm. Maybe? Someone's gotta have a script that kits the system for a zippier performance angle.

Yeah ive done my best to quit everything, its more the risk of some process starting up in the background, spotlight indexing is the example i can think of, and ive a script to switch that off but there must be other things that could start up, steal processing power momentarily, and so risk dropouts

Hmmm. Yeah. Those mystery startups of obscure processes are usually initiated by the daemons.

Finding them is the trick.
