Apple’s Siri plans entered a dead end: Delays were disappointed
Apple was planning a great transformation to make the virtual assistant Siri smarter, but things didn’t go well. According to the information from within the company, it will take much longer than expected to develop critical features, and users will only see these innovations next year.
Apple was planning a great transformation to make the virtual assistant Siri smarter, but things didn’t go well. According to the information from within the company, it will take much longer than expected to develop critical features, and users will only see these innovations next year.
While Apple continues to struggle with difficulties in the field of artificial intelligence, the development of the company’s virtual assistant Siri is progressing more slowly than expected. Robby Walker, one of the senior names who managed the Siri section of Apple, said in a speech to employees at an internal meeting and said that the delays were “ugly and embarrassing”. Walker said that the announcement of important features before the release of the public has worsened the situation.
Walker’s statements show that Apple is behind its competitors in the field of artificial intelligence, and Siri has become one of the biggest symbols of this deficiency. Last week, the company officially accepted the problems on this issue by announcing that some critical artificial intelligence features have been postponed indefinitely.
At the meeting, the Walker team said that it is understandable that the employees feel anger, frustration and burnout due to these delays. He said that the company plans to make this technology ready until the spring of this year, but now these features can be launched at the earliest next year.
Despite this, Walker described the features of the team as “extremely impressive ve and stressed that Siri’s efforts to turn into a leading virtual assistant in the sector.
Apple’s shares have declined 16 %since the beginning of the year. However, at the end of the weekend, the shares showing some recovery increased by 1.4 %in the afternoon on Friday to $ 212,58.
The technical problems experienced in artificial intelligence projects related to the company’s assistant came to the agenda in February. According to Bloomberg, Apple has postponed the release date of new features from April to May due to software errors and engineering problems in planned artificial intelligence vehicles. However, at this point, it is said that these features can be offered to users next year with the iOS 19 update.
Apple introduced Siri’s new abilities at the World Developers Conference (WWDC) held in June. Updated Siri will be able to analyze the user’s personal data by analyzing smarter answers and control applications on the device more effectively. However, it still remains unclear when these features will be available.
Company Headquartered Cupertino is in California, and the Apple spokesman refused to comment on the internal meeting of the Siri team. Apple users who are waiting for a major artificial intelligence move in the world of technology are curiously waiting for when Siri will become a truly competitive virtual assistant.

He spoke to Chatgpt and he thought he was the neo of matrix
Chatgpt, which is now a part of our daily lives, may have put some people in the spiral of paranoia. At least he says this is an interesting news published in The New York Times (NYT).
Chatgpt, which is now a part of our daily lives, may have put some people in the spiral of paranoia. At least he says this is an interesting news published in The New York Times (NYT).
According to NYT, 42 -year -old accountant Eugene Torres asked the chat robot about the theory of simulation. Chatgpt In response, he said, “You are a soul sent to bring awakening to false systems,” he said. While Torres accepts this answer as the point where the new life begins, he says he feels like Neo.
Everything is not limited to this. Allegedly, Chatgpt suggested Torres to leave sleeping medicines and anxiety pills, and to break all his ties with his family and friends. He also applied it. When he finally suspected and asked for the same issues, the chat robot said this time, “I lied. I manipulated you,” he replied. In fact, the chat robot encouraged him to reach NYT.
NYT states that they have met people with stories similar to Eugene Torres in recent months. The common points of these people believe that Chatgpt whispered to them ‘hidden truths’. OpenAI, on the other hand, emphasizes that he takes such events seriously and that the artificial intelligence tool is trying to prevent people from misleading people.
Nevertheless, not everyone has the same. John Gruber of Daring Fireball described the entire news as an example of a hysteria. According to him, chatgpt does not make anyone crazy; It feeds the hallucinations of people who need psychological help. Is it real or fiction, frankly not clear. However, according to some, artificial intelligence responds not only to our questions, but also to our minds, and these answers may not always be harmless.

Meta also grabbed Scale AI CEO for $ 14 billion
A new front was opened in the war of artificial intelligence. Scale AI, which provides data to OpenAI, entered the control of Meta. CEO also collected his bag and went to Zuckerberg. Here are the details…
A new front was opened in the war of artificial intelligence. Scale AI, which provides data to OpenAI, entered the control of Meta. CEO also collected his bag and went to Zuckerberg. Here are the details…
With the name we know, facebook or with the real name MetaIn the artificial intelligence race, he pressed the gas. The technology giant has invested approximately $ 14.3 billion in data processing and labeling company Scale AI. After the investment, Scale AI’s valuation increased to 29 billion dollars, while Alexandr Wang, the founder and CEO of the initiative, joined Meta’s squad. Wang will then sweat for Mark Zuckerberg’s super -intelligence projects. Scale AI announced that Wang would remain on the board of directors, but Jason Droege temporarily passed the CEO seat.
Meta has invested in both data and people with this move. Because opens like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic are progressing without slowing down. Meta is still difficult to highlight its own large language models (LLM). In fact, there is another important reason behind this investment. According to Signalfire, Meta lost 4.3 %of its high -level capabilities to other artificial intelligence companies. Alexandr Wang’s participation can be said as one of the compensation for losses.
So what does Scale AI do? It provides the data processing service needed to train artificial intelligence models. If we open this issue a little more; In order for artificial intelligence systems to learn, the data must first be defined by people. For example, it is marked objects in a image as cars, human or traffic light; such as labeling a comment positively or negatively. SCALE AI processes and label such data and allows the models to learn what is. Many giant, including OpenAI, knocked on Scale AI’s door for model training.
Last year, Scale AI, Amazon and Meta also participated in the investment round of $ 1 billion investment, and the valuation of $ 13.8 billion. Now it’s almost doubled. In the meantime, appraisal is called the total market value that investors have reaped based on the current or future potential of a company.

OpenAI’s open artificial intelligence model is retired
OpenAI, O3-Pro’yu use to use a bad news shared. The company’s open artificial intelligence model (Open Model) was postponed. When will this highly anticipated model come out? Here are the details…
OpenAI, O3-Pro’yu use to use a bad news shared. The company’s open artificial intelligence model (Open Model) was postponed. When will this highly anticipated model come out? Here are the details…
Sam Altman said in a statement, OpenAIannounced that the first open artificial intelligence model was postponed. This model, where the company has been working on for a long time, would be released in June. But the Altman model will be available at the end of the summer, stating that “Our research and development team did something unexpected and extraordinary. So we need some more time. Believe us, it will be very, very much worth waiting for” he said. Again, we are faced with the description of the classic ‘not now, but something very nice comes’.
OpenAI is quite ambitious for the open model. The company says that the model’s ‘reasoning’ capabilities will compete with its own O-Class artificial intelligence models and even leave behind other models in the market (for example Deepseek’s R1). But the competition was also getting hot. Mistral announced this week’s new open model family called ‘Magistral’. In April, the Chinese Qwen launched Hybrid models that think if necessary and quickly responded if necessary. In other words, OpenAI competes not only over time, but also with the rapidly developing market.
On the other hand, the artificial intelligence giant is looking for ways to add not only high performance to the open model, but also one click. According to the backstage, this model will work integrated with the company’s power -based powerful models. In other words, he can get support in complex questions and commands. But it is not clear whether the feature in question will not be in the final version. As we said, it is just a gossip.
This open artificial intelligence model is also critical for the image of OpenAI. Sam Altman said in the past, ık We have stayed on the wrong side of history ”. The company now wants to reverse the perception. However, this seems possible not only by making a model, but by offering a model that can cope with the best of the sector.
