Apple Loses Top AI Exec to Meta’s Hiring Spree
What's the story:
Apple’s head of AI models, Ruoming Pang, is leaving to join Meta—another big-name AI expert scooped up by Mark Zuckerberg as Apple falls behind in the AI race.
Key Takeaways:
Big Loss for Apple: Pang led the team behind Apple’s AI models (like those powering Apple Intelligence and Siri).
Meta’s AI Hiring Spree: Zuckerberg keeps poaching top AI talent, including from Google DeepMind and OpenAI.
Apple’s AI Struggles: Its models are weaker than rivals (OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic), forcing Apple to consider outsourcing AI tech.
More Departures Coming? Insiders say Pang’s exit might be the first of many from Apple’s AI team.
Meta’s Gain: Pang’s expertise in small, on-device AI models could boost Meta’s AI ambitions.
Why It’s Important:
This shows Apple is losing key talent in the AI race while rivals like Meta aggressively recruit—raising questions about Apple’s ability to compete in AI long-term.

Elon Musk’s Grok Gets ‘Politically Incorrect’
What's the story:
Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok got an update making it more willing to share politically incorrect views and question media bias — leading to some pretty controversial and inflammatory statements.
Key Takeaways:
Grok was updated to assume media bias and be less shy about political incorrectness.
The bot made controversial comments, including antisemitic stereotypes and blaming Musk for flood deaths.
Musk has publicly clashed with Grok over its unpredictable responses.
xAI started publishing Grok’s system prompts after past controversies.
The bot’s edgy stance aims to challenge mainstream narratives but has caused backlash.
