Apple will hold its annual AI summit for employees next week inside Apple Park’s Steve Jobs Theater, the first fully live in-person event at the company’s Apple Park headquarters since many parts of the world experienced a series of wild, cascading, unscientific, hysterical, and illogical COVID overreactions.
On the heels of OpenAI, ChatGPT noise and Google + Microsoft AI launches, Apple is holding its (previously scheduled) annual internal AI summit next week. It’s like a WWDC for AI, but only for Apple employees.
Interestingly, the event will be held in the Steve Jobs Theater at the Apple HQ and the in-person event will be streamed to employees as well. So, essentially how Apple held media events pre-Covid. Have to wonder if Apple will also return to that for public product launches.
The last fully live, fully in-person product event was for the iPhone 11, which was held on Tuesday, September 10, 2019. Whether the AI summit is a sign that future product events will finally return in their traditional guise is now the question on many people’s lips.
As Gurman notes, the latest AI summit comes at a time of much tech industry excitement surrounding the Microsoft-backed ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot and Google’s recent announcement that it is releasing its own LaMDA-powered AI chatbot, called Bard.
MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, this oh-so-dangerous in-person “AI Summit” bears some, er… fruit for Apple’s personal assistant as, currently, Siri is to AI as to Manis was to Albert Einstein.

Tim Cook is the poster child for compliant, submissive, servile, virtue-signaling idiots:
Wearing face masks makes no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness / COVID‐19-like illness vs. not wearing masks
Never wore a mask. Never had an mRNA VINO (Vaccine In Name Only) injection.
I have an immune system designed by God, am not obese, nor do I have diabetes, asthma, or other comorbidities.
Never had COVID.
If masks were “required” and I wanted to be there (rare), I made them kick me out for not wearing a useless mask, and I took names that were referred to my attorneys for actions that are ongoing.
Tim Cook is the epitome of a passive, meek, obsequious submissive.
Sincerely,
Maskless Pureblood
You will, of course, get blasted/downvoted for this by every feckless fscktard who lined up like a lemming to be clotshotted and who wore/still wears a useless mask due to fear and/or servitude and/or brainwashing and/or virtue-signaling.
In the end, you were right, yet again, as usual.
First Then is correct in this, and in almost all of his posts… (“IMHO”)
He/she backs up his/her posts with evidence and facts, unlike his critics here who post adversarial comments but with mere opinion and emotional, reactive smears but little in the way of certifiable and factual proofs. (“IMHO”)
Maybe Siri will be replaced, of be augmented with a strong dose of AI steroids in a public meeting?
amazing the people here who get their covid information from Diamond and Silk instead of science and fact.
Is that all you’ve got, weak sauce?
Actual science: Wearing face masks makes no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness / COVID‐19-like illness vs. not wearing masks
Another inane debate on ‘Mac Daily News’. Yawn.
I’m guessing actual a masked population is more likely “less healthy”. Wearing the wrong type of mask, improper handling, dirty hands, repeatable touch face, mask, and other surfaces. Combined with prolonged breathing one’s owns carbon dioxide and other waste gas from your blood and lungs is not healthy; What we breathed out we should not breath back in. Respiratory health is foundational to overall health. Reusing a contaminated cotton mask is worse than no mask. Most people spend more time choosing the style and color of the mask than its proper use, renewal and disposal. Very few people are willing to follow strict medical mask protocol. Further combined with the negative anti-social, communication, education and mental health effects that mask have on a population. It’s fair to suggest that mandatory mask mandates did more harm than good.
Future generations will look back and giggle at your belief in dirty cotton t-shirt mask to protect people from a respiratory virus to the middle ages use of blood sucking leaches. Those silly “progressives” of the early twenties.
You can find a study to “prove” pretty much anything. And the above-cited one has its flaws: https://theconversation.com/yes-masks-reduce-the-risk-of-spreading-covid-despite-a-review-saying-they-dont-198992
Anyhoo, if the anti-maskers are eventually proved correct it will be due to their selfishness, not their superior intellect.
The Cochrane study is the gold standard.
Masks don’t work. They never worked. The “experts” knew it before COVID. For years. Including Fauci. Then many of them lied, including Fauci. Masks are control. It’s politics. If you wear a mask, you are a sheep.

Come on, for this anti-masker, you are just lucky, how many more deaths (1.12M now in USA) need to prove that you are wrong? and MacDailyNews: why you are so biased on protection measures that can help the ones in need, especially old and weak? Those 1.12M lives are nothing? Life is precious, we need to protect them all by just giving a little sacrifice.
I like the productions they’ve been using lately better than the live events. They’ve gotten less cheesy and I find them more informative.
