Unfortunate that JG is the fall guy for Siri. He was very successful at Google (e.g. BERT was published just after he left), but it looks like he wasn't able to save Apple from itself.
- ignoramous 10mo ago> Unfortunate that JG is the fall guy for Siri... From TFA Some of the teams that Giannandrea oversaw will move to Sabih Khan and Eddy Cue, such as AI Infrastructure and Search and Knowledge. Khan is Apple's new Chief Operating Officer who took over for Jeff Williams earlier this year ... Apple CEO Tim Cook thanked Giannandrea ... Seems like Khan is preparing the mothership for when he eventually assumes the CEO role from Cook.
- swyx 10mo agoodd, why not Craig? he's by far the popular pick + probably actually right leader for apple's ai phase
- ebbi 10mo agoCraig seems the type that would prefer to be closer to the tools than to be a CEO and manage all the other stuff that comes with it... The various interviews I've watched of his (and some of the leaked news) shows he's still quite deep in the tools.
- sgt 10mo agoHe's pure creativitiy, that guy! I think it'll drain his energy if he needed to do more admin stuff.
- layer8 10mo agoJohn Ternus is rumored to be the leading candidate for the next CEO. That would also make more sense in terms of age.

- jldugger 10mo agoAhh jeez, Khan is COO not CFO.
