- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> sorry day when Apple has to buy it's technology from others For HN this is some sorry stuff. Cupertino is getting ChatGPT for free. (It’s unclear who’s paying for compute.) Get a few other folks in the hopper and one of them will be paying Apple to be the default outsourced AI to the tune of Google’s tens of billions for default search slot status.

- chresko 2y agoWhat is the point? iOS will run a local model for requests that involve personal context and pass requests off to a private cloud instance for requests that are too complex for local inference. For non-personal requests OpenAI or some other service is invoked. Apple isn’t paying OpenAI. Where is the ‘Apple buying their tech’ part in this?
- qarl 2y agoWell, they've been using Google for internet searches for a long time now. So I guess it's been a sorry day ever since the iPhone came out.
- nicole_express 2y agoApple's been buying technology from others since Applesoft BASIC replaced Woz's Integer BASIC on the original Apple II, not sure why you just noticed now
- LocalH 2y agoWhat rock have you lived under? Are you not aware that Apple has bought a lot of its technology? Siri and iTunes just off the top of my head.
