Apple Intelligence Struggles to Boost iPhone Sales
Apple's foray into AI with Apple Intelligence isn't boosting iPhone sales, says analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The on-device AI toolkit, launched last year and tied to new hardware, seems to struggle with proving its value.
Details:
Excitement from WWDC 2024's Apple Intelligence announcement has faded as cloud-based competitors like ChatGPT gain ground
Features like Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playgrounds, and ChatGPT integration have seen low interest, with a SellCell survey showing minimal value for iPhone users
AI marketing for iPhone 16 and M4 Macs faces challenges due to English-only support and strict hardware requirements
Apple's hardware-focused AI approach, despite promised Siri updates in April, struggles to prove its value.

Musk Announces Third Successful Neuralink Brain Implant
Neuralink, Elon Musk's neurotechnology venture, has successfully implanted its third human brain chip, advancing its Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology since starting trials in January 2024.
Details:
Neuralink uses advanced robotics to implant thin threads in the brain, interpreting neural signals for device control like computers and robotic arms
The company conducts two FDA-registered studies: PRIME (paralyzed patients) and Convoy (robotic arm assistance), with plans to expand implants in 2025
After detachment issues with the first patient, Alex (second patient) successfully integrated the device for gaming and 3D design. Musk confirmed the third implant is functioning well
Neuralink is advancing neural interface technology, improving how people with mobility challenges interact with their environment.

OpenAI Whistleblower Death Sparks Wide-Ranging Conspiracy Claims
The mysterious death of a 26-year-old OpenAI whistleblower has sparked widespread debate and conspiracy theories. A month before his death, he exposed alleged illegal practices at OpenAI and was set to testify in a major lawsuit.
Details:
Found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26; ruled a suicide, but public skepticism grows. He had claimed OpenAI illegally trained ChatGPT and was set to testify in a lawsuit
His family rejects the ruling, hiring investigators and seeking a second autopsy, suspecting murder linked to his whistleblower status
The case has united right-wing pundits, conspiracy theorists, and crypto enthusiasts, with some launching a cryptocurrency in his memory. Social media is full of cover-up theories
This case raises questions about big tech, whistleblower protection, and corporate accountability, highlighting AI companies' growing influence and scrutiny.
