@gruber @joannastern @nilay_patel One key reason Siri isn’t available for #china for now is because #Google Cloud isn’t available so PCC would be inaccessible. #Apple likely to turn to #AliCloud or #TencentCloud with their own AI compute capabilities to enable PCC for China users. #TheTalkShow

@mkbhd Humanoid robots and purpose-specific form robots aren’t mutually exclusive. A humanoid form is purpose-specific for a wide variety of tasks and will complement robots in other forms. Per your example, a humanoid robot shouldn’t driving the car but should be a passenger (trunk?) that gets out to help a physically-challenged person into a robotic wheelchair.
