Tim Apple Convinces a Person That Its AI Juice Is Lemonade

green-dino_thumbAnother dinobaby post. No AI unless it is an image. This dinobaby is not Grandma Moses, just Grandpa Arnold.

I read “Apple’s Slow AI Pace Becomes a Strength as Market Grows Weary of Spending.” [Please, note that the source I used may kill the link. If that happens, complain to Yahoo, not to me.]

Everyone, it seems, is into AI. The systems hallucinate; they fail to present verifiable information; they draw stuff with too many fingers; they even do videos purpose built for scamming grannies.

Apple has been content to talk about AI and not much else other than experience staff turnover and some management waffling.

But that’s looking at Apple’s management approach to AI incorrectly. Apple was smart. Its missing the AI boat was brilliant. Just as doubts about the viability of using more energy than available to create questionable outputs, Apple’s slow movement positions it to thrive.

The write up makes sweet lemonade out of what I thought was gallons of sour, lukewarm apple cider.

I quote:

Apple now has a $4.1 trillion market capitalization and the second biggest weight in the S&P 500, leaping over Microsoft and closing in on Nvidia. The shift reflects the market’s questioning of the hundreds of billions of dollars Big Tech firms are throwing at AI development, as well as Apple’s positioning to eventually benefit when the technology is ready for mass use.

The write up includes this statement from a financial whiz:

“The stock is expensive, but Apple’s consumer franchise is unassailable,” Moffett said. “At a time when there are very real concerns about whether AI is a bubble, Apple is understandably viewed as the safe place to hide.”

Yep, lemonade. Next, up is down and down is up. I am ready. The only problem for me is that Apple tried to do AI and announced features and services. Then Apple could only produce the Granny scarf to hold another look-alike candy bar mobile device. Apple needs Splenda in its mix!
