Apple CEO John Ternus pressured Apple senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi to “accelerate the company’s road map and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri,” reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.
Citing anonymous sources, Gurman writes that Ternus is “frustrated by what he sees as a reluctance to embrace AI with the same urgency as competitors,” and pushed Federighi for changes in a meeting behind closed doors. Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”
Being CEO is hard.
You get so much money and you need to figure out a way to spend it.
You get a brand new super expensive car on company cost so you can’t worry about repairs or when you have to replace it.
You get invited for lunch and dinner so you can’t think about what to cook in the evenings and also you can’t waste time in the supermarket.
You have so much responsibilities that even when you do a shit job and the company fires you or goes bankrupt you get hired by the next one anyways so you don’t have to worry about your job or providing for your family.
You don’t need to track your time by the minute and you don’t have a boss looking over your shoulder all the time so you need to figure out a way on what to do with all that time.
I mean i certainly wouldn’t want all these terrible terrible burdons being loaded onto me.
Poor CEOs
I feel like the main attribute of a CEO or any type of leadership position is having no need or desire for naps. This is why heavy cocaine use is so common among that species. I could never be a CEO, naps are just too important a part of my life.
