Apple’s New AI Overlord: Because Apparently They Needed Another Ex-Googler to Save Their Shiny-Ass Fruit Company
So here we are again, folks. Apple’s bloody AI department just went through another seismic “leadership evolution” — which is corporate speak for “someone important buggered off.” John Giannandrea, the AI honcho who crawled out of Google years ago to sprinkle some “machine learning” fairy dust on Siri (and somehow made it *slightly* less stupid), is finally stepping down. Can’t really blame the guy — watching Siri embarrass itself for years would break anyone’s will to live.
In rides the new savior… someone with both Google *and* Microsoft AI experience. Oh great, the holy trinity of big tech bullshit now complete. Because if there’s anything better than years of corporate waffle and public misunderstandings about “ethical AI,” it’s importing another suit from the rival camp who’s already seen the same shit break elsewhere. The plan? Apparently to “supercharge Apple Intelligence” — yes, that’s what they’re calling their AI platform. Try to say that without gagging on the platitudes.
Apple’s still flogging its “Privacy First” mantra while ramming more AI into every button, screen, and overpriced peripheral they sell. Meanwhile, the AI exec musical chairs continues, and Tim Cook gets to point at graphs going up while pretending everything is revolutionary. Honestly, it’s the same dance every goddamn year: exec leaves, Apple panics, they plug in another one from the same tech gene pool, slap a shiny press release on it, and expect applause.
The short version? Giannandrea’s out, New AI Genius with Google-Microsoft DNA is in, and Apple’s trying to convince the world their “AI is different” when we all know it’s just as full of bugs, bias, and over-promising as the rest of them. Yay, innovation.
Reminds me of when I used to replace the coffee machine filter with decaf beans and watch the office meltdown unfold. Same faces, same chaos — different flavor of desperation.
