Microsoft overtakes Apple as most valuable company

Investors are throwing money at anyone who can spell “AI”, just like 25 years ago they thrust cash at people who could spell TCP, or who were one.

Love them or hate them, Apple isn’t playing that game (and despite their having hired Giannandrea, who was the reason Google has an AI strategy in the first place).

Apple has their own AI strategy and it includes things like Ferret and scientific papers like running inference on "low-memory" devices. I wouldn't count them out over the long run.

I am not counting them out. In fact I’m hoping for, if nothing else, a working Siri better than the alternatives.

But I think wall street is ignoring them at the moment.
