Episode notes

Partnerships with Open AI and Google do not indicate Apple giving up on AI development internally but rather being realistic about the costs and complexity involved. The significant expenses and complexities in AI development are evident as seen through examples like Tesla's $10 billion investment in AI this year and the financial challenges faced by AI startups competing against tech giants like Microsoft and Google. Companies are realizing the massive financial commitment required for AI advancements, as highlighted by Meta's market cap decline after announcing increased AI spending. This financial reality raises questions about the ability of smaller AI companies to compete against tech giants giving away state-of-the-art AI models.
