David Emery on Apple is offering pubs $100Ks for permission to train Siri AI on their content - 'Was the original intent “Apple is willing to pay”? On a slightly related note, a friend sent me a link to a scientific journal arguing that scientific papers should be written for AI to digest, rather than for humans to read.'
on Apple is offering pubs $100Ks for permission to train Siri AI on their content - '“Apple is will pay” needs fixing. Could be “Apple will pay” but that may not actually be correct either. Fixed.'
on Apple is offering pubs $100Ks for permission to train Siri AI on their content - 'I’ve seen that sequence several times now. I think there are actually young people who talk like that! Maybe the writer of the headline was spending too much time in those “pubs”! 🙂 (I was confused by that!)'
on Apple is offering pubs $100Ks for permission to train Siri AI on their content - '“Apple is will pay” needs fixing. Could be “Apple will pay” but that may not actually be correct either. Apple is negotiating paying fees. The number “$100ks” is also odd. Sounds like Apple realizes the underlying value of the intellectual property they want to use.'
on Apple users love microdramas - 'Um, just remember, they may not be aimed at you as a male demographic.'
on Apple users love microdramas - 'A quick AI search shows that iPhone users buy 70% of the apps, and android users by 29% of the apps. So according to these figures, iPhone users buy 41% more apps than android users. So if these numbers hold up under strict analysis, then iPhone users, buy microdramas, 1% less than they buy other apps.'
on Apple users love microdramas - 'I have a friend, Kris, who is an actress in these microdramas. She calls them “verticals” because they are filmed to be viewed vertically on a phone instead of horizontally the way traditional films are made. She considers them much lower class than traditional films, but she has gotten lots of work doing them. I only watched a couple of scenes that Kris had done. The names of the films were “That Missing Rockstar is My Husband” and “Hot For The Preacher”. In many cases, Kris is working with producers and directors from China, who speak poor English. This is for work that will be done in Los Angeles. Kris can consistently get roles where she plays the rich grandmother. For example, her grandson is in love and the couple wants to get married, but the rich grandmother is causing lots of problems. In the end, love wins out, and the couple gets happily married. In any case, it seems to be quite a growing genre that did not exist twenty years ago.'

on Apple users love microdramas - 'iPhone users spend more money than Android users because they have more money than Android users. That is why Google pays Apple. For access to those users.'
on Premarket: Apple is red - 'Just before the close, Apple is down on low volume. My guess is it will meander around like this till the new iPhone comes out. Maybe about two weeks before then Mr. Market will start pumping up AAPL.'
