Apple hasn't even shipped their OpenAI integration, and already they're just like, We talked about this before, how OpenAI's culture and Apple's culture are not a good match. But that's sometimes just the way it is with a young company and an older company. Young, upstart, right? Maybe they kick out their CEO and he comes back and kicks out everyone. Like,

a lot of drama going on recently their CTO left and a bunch of other people like it's OpenAI a lot of drama and Apple doesn't like drama but they did the deal they did the deal with OpenAI they talked about them in the keynote when you know your thing on your phone can't figure it out you'll have the option of sending it to OpenAI and they did this deal which supposedly no money's changing hands so they don't know the details and they were going to be an investor and they were going to have a

Board seat. Oh, no board seat. And actually, you know what? Maybe we're going to sit this one out investment wise. Maybe we just don't think there's a big upside there. And Apple was really touting like, you know, we did the deal with OpenAI, but we've almost got to deal with Google for Gemini. And we haven't heard anything about that since. when they were like, yeah, totally.

It's not just OpenAI. We're, you know, this Gemini deal is probably going to happen real soon now. Not that they said that, but they were hinting in that direction. And so far, no Gemini deal. OpenAI is ostensibly going to ship as a feature of our phones at some point in the future. And Apple is rapidly... not distancing itself, but getting less cozy than they were before with open AI.

Maybe they just didn't, they just figured, you know, we could have better use of our money. We've got the deal that we want. We don't need to invest, or maybe they're really just, you know, hedging their bets. And, you know, I don't think they're going to be investing in Google anytime soon, but, uh, and maybe that's part of it. Maybe open AI is getting so big and has so much funding.

I think they've raised more money than any quote unquote startup ever. If you can call this company a startup at this point. Um, uh, But yeah, maybe they're just like, they don't need our help. And maybe we're, we'll talk about this in overtime, but maybe they think maybe we're like accidentally funding our future biggest rival and we don't want to do that.

Or maybe they just are rethinking getting even tighter with this company that seems to be in constant turmoil.

Yeah, this is a thing that Sony has been doing where it's not a mid-cycle update, but like... At some point in the life of their console generation, they will release a better version of the same console that plays all the same games, but plays them better in some way. So the PS4 and the PS4 Pro, this is in addition to the Slim model, which is just the plain PS4, and it was the PS4 Slim.

Anyway, there's the PS5, which I have. Then they made the PS5 Slim, which is a slimmer version of the PS5. And now they've announced the PS5 Pro. And what makes it better? It's got a beefier GPU, a little bit better CPU. Sometimes they have more RAM. I don't know the...

technical details that much for the PlayStation 5 Pro but it is I do know the effect on the games and the effect is sometimes they run at higher frame rates sometimes they run at higher resolution or higher apparent resolution with upscaling But they run all the same games just a little bit better. I always buy the pros models because I want to run the same games a little bit better.
