Apple Perplexity

Apple is reportedly in discussions with the rapidly ascending AI startup Perplexity AI to integrate its technology into future iPhones, a move that could fundamentally reshape the mobile search and AI assistant landscape. 

Sources close to the matter indicate that Apple is considering Perplexity as a powerful alternative to Google Search and as a replacement for some of ChatGPT's functionalities within its voice assistant, Siri

The tech giant currently receives an estimated $20 billion annually from Google to maintain its search engine as the default on Safari for iOS devices. A decision by Apple to walk away from this lucrative deal would represent a "tectonic shift" in the tech industry

The coming months will be crucial in determining the outcome of these high-stakes negotiations

CEO as AI coder

In a move that has generated considerable buzz across the tech world this week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed he has been personally experimenting with AI-powered coding tools to build a custom webpage. Speaking at the Bloomberg Tech conference in San Francisco, Pichai shared that he has been "vibe coding" in his spare time, a term that describes a more intuitive and conversational approach to software development facilitated by artificial intelligence.

Pichai has been utilizing AI coding assistants like Cursor and Replit for a personal project aimed at creating a webpage that consolidates his preferred sources of information. This hands-on approach allows him to directly experience the capabilities and nuances of the AI tools that are rapidly reshaping the landscape of software engineering.

"Vibe coding," as described in the context of Pichai's endeavors, involves developers using natural language prompts and high-level instructions to guide AI tools in generating code. This method abstracts away much of the traditional, syntax-heavy aspects of programming, enabling a more fluid and conceptual workflow.

His recent foray into "vibe coding" offers a tangible example of his vision for a future where AI and human developers collaborate to build software more efficiently and creatively. This development has been a hot topic of conversation, highlighting a hands-on approach from one of tech's most influential leaders in the burgeoning field of AI-assisted software creation.

Neural Semantic Memory

The paradoxical nature of an AI LLM—being both stateless in conversation and rich in "unmuted" knowledge—is a key aspect of its design. 

While the model may not remember your name from one minute to the next, it retains a vast and intricate understanding of the world, ready to be articulated in response to your every query.

It succinctly captures a fundamental duality at the core of how Large Language Models (LLMs) function
