📰 Quick AI update
Apple’s WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) omits AI
🍎 The pièce de résistance was a high-end AR headset, the "Vision Pro," at the WWDC event, priced at a whopping $3,499.
🤫 AI was notably absent from the discussion, with zero mentions.
There was a hint of AI in the form of an advanced autocorrect feature, though it was referred to as "on-device machine learning."
📉 This lack of AI focus starkly contrasted Google and Microsoft's recent AI-centric announcements.
⏳ It remains to be seen what Apples longer-term strategy on AI will be. They may be waiting quietly in the wings.

🌍 Why AI will save the world (Marc Andreessen)
In this Twitter thread, famous investor (and founder of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, now A16z) outlines his positive outlook on AI, amidst fear about the potential future AI holds for humanity.
🤖 AI is not the enemy: AI is essentially mathematical and software code that allows computers to understand, generate, and synthesize knowledge. It's not going to rise and destroy.
🌍 AI won't ruin our society: While there are concerns about AI outputs being harmful, the assertion here is that it won't cause profound damage to humanity. It's not a societal ruin.
🚀 AI and jobs: The fear of AI taking away jobs is a recurring panic, but every major technological advancement has led to job shifts rather than total job loss. AI is not a job thief.
💡 AI can be controlled: It's suggested that AI should be developed aggressively, but with regulations to prevent monopolies and encourage market competition. AI isn't an uncontrollable force.
