Applied AIApple iPhone Duo Not Great AI Experience, Piecyk Says
If the iPhone Duo’s AI experience underwhelms, Apple’s upgrade cycle story leans harder on hardware, not software pull. For mobile-first products, don’t assume near-term user behavior will shift just because “AI phones” exist in the lineup.
Applied AISam Altman sympathizes with mathematicians, but says OpenAI’s math onslaught won’t stop

If prefabricated AI data centers become real products, the bottleneck in scaling AI shifts from construction timelines to power, cooling, and capital. Infra teams should start modeling scenarios where capacity can be added in weeks, not years—and where your differentiation is site selection, not buildout.
