BIG by Matt Stoller

But first, I want to highlight what I find to be the most significant and underplayed story of the week, which is Apple shocking the tech press and its most diehard fans by admitting that it can’t actually build Apple Intelligence, the big upgrade play it has been promising and Wall Street had been expecting.

AI promised to shake up this dynamic, to give Apple back some spark. Last year, the phone giant introduced the brand Apple Intelligence. This would be a computing transition, perhaps as important as the shift from mainframes to personal computers, or desktops to mobile. You would no longer have to touch or type, you could just talk to your machine, and have it talk back or do what you want.
