Topics
Richard Lawler:NFT的炒作反映出一些公司管理层对市场需求的误判,这并非NFT本身的问题,而是企业战略决策失误的体现。 David Pierce:新一代iPad mini的升级幅度过小,配置低,体现出苹果公司在产品设计上的不足,更像是供应链主导的结果而非设计师主导。苹果公司对iPad mini的依赖性过强,导致其缺乏改进的动力。 Nilay Patel:苹果公司即将发布的软件和硬件更新信息量巨大且杂乱,难以让人清晰地了解其产品发布计划和功能。苹果智能功能目前尚不成熟,不足以成为购买苹果产品的理由。iOS 18.2 将带来重大改变,包括可设置默认浏览器和信息应用等,而这些改变将比最初的苹果智能功能更引人注目。蒂姆·库克关于苹果公司AI战略的言论(“最好而非最快”)与目前AI行业快速发展的现状存在矛盾。当前AI领域的两大主题是:赋予AI更多功能以及对AI公司提起诉讼。Anthropic的Claude模型能够自主使用电脑,这代表了AI技术发展的一个重要方向。Humane公司大幅降低AI Pin的价格并计划将其AI操作系统授权给其他公司,这反映了AI操作系统市场竞争的激烈程度。许多AI公司面临着版权侵权诉讼,这凸显了AI技术发展中存在的法律和伦理问题。AI公司正在筹集巨额资金,以应对技术挑战、法律诉讼以及市场竞争。
