Some rumours where all over the place regarding a deal between Apple and OpenAI. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it’s focused on using AI to supercharge the iPhone. In my personal opinion, two remarks:
There is a lot of room for improvements on the iPhone, specially on Siri.
If this deal is true, it demonstrates that Apple might be giving up on AI in the short term, which talks about the lack of innovation that is common within Apple in the past few years.

This week I read a thread from Jon González where he shares, only with data, the irrelevance of the European companies in the global markets. European companies are nearly irrelevant in terms of valuation in the following verticals:
Banking
Telecommunications
Ecommerce
Semiconductors
Software
Artificial Intelligence

Brad Gerstner, the Founder and CEO of Altimeter Capital, a famous Venture Capital firm, shared his thoughts on the future on Tesla. Tesla released a competitive advantage thanks to the new FSD 12, which is by far the best autonomous driving model thanks to its new imitation algorithm and the huge amounts of data he has been capturing over the years, making it hard to worldwide competitors to compete with them. Tesla could transition from a car manufacturer to a services provider, like other companies like Apple have done in the past.
Tesla is an extremely underrated player in the AI race.
