New comment by ExMachina73 in "Tire-related chemical responsible for salmon deaths in urban streams (2020)"

ExMachina73 — Sat, 07 Sep 2024 23:48:10 +0000

I see articles like this about microplastics turning up in the environment and it doesn't surprise me at all. Almost a century of millions and millions of cars going through tires how could it not. In the future they'll ask what killed everyone? It was tires man. Tires.

It's tires. Millions of cars and their tire wear for literally the last hundred years. How can it not be in our bodies and causing issues at this point.

ExMachina73 — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 17:16:58 +0000

I think it's clear. Tires. Tires are what's killing everyone. Or at least contributing more than we'd like to admit. Rise in cancer among young people, microplastics in the ocean, among a litany of other health issues on the rise. A hundred years of tire wear and industry is making itself known.

True. Seems like now would be his moment to take center stage (literally at WWDC in about a week). His title is "Senior Vice President Machine Learning and AI Strategy". We've seen Ternus present. Srouji too. Sure would instill some confidence to hear directly from the AI Strategy SVP on what they've been working on and what they have planned. Turning Siri over to OpenAI sounds like a defeat for him.

You have to wonder if Giannandrea is what's been holding Siri back all these years. What can you point to that he's significantly improved at Apple since coming from Google in 2018? And now he's luke-warm on LLMs? Seems like someone we should be seeing present Apple's AI strategy at this year's WWDC keynote, no?
