Apple is spending ‘millions of dollars a day’ training AI💸

Apple is apparently training multiple AI models for different purposes and is spending a shit ton of money on training them. Although we don’t know the clear motives, some insiders say that a chatbot is in the works that would “interact with customers who use AppleCare” and another one would make it easier to automate multistep tasks with Siri.🤖

It’s clear that the world’s largest company is having FOMO from the entire generative AI wave and doesn't want to get left behind. Shout out to my boy Bard out there!

Koo seeks strategic partner amid funding crunch🐥

Y’all remember Koo right? That yellow bird app that was trying so hard to be a Twitter alternative? They even copied Twitter before it was cool. Well sad to hear that the platform is not performing well and may die soon.😔

In a desperate move to get funds for operations and scaling, Koo has announced that they’re looking for a strategic partner with a “distribution strength” as it enters its “next phase”. We know that it’s a very hard time for startups in India right now and especially if you’re in the social media space, there’s almost no space to grow🤷🏻‍♂️

Apple however responded fast and now saying that they’ll be fixing the radiation issue very soon with a software update by the way iPhone 15 has been launched for all those rich people reading this.
