NLW: 我观察到马克·扎克伯格似乎对所有在人工智能领域有才华的人都感兴趣，并且试图收购他们。他不仅试图收购像Nat Friedman和Daniel Gross这样的人才，甚至还尝试收购Safe Superintelligence。此外，Meta还对Perplexity和Miramarati的Thinking Machines表示了收购意向。扎克伯格似乎更看重人才本身，而不是他们所拥有的资产。 Alex Heath: 我认为现在更容易说出马克·扎克伯格没有考虑收购哪些人工智能初创公司了，因为他似乎对所有公司都有意向。 Didi Das: 我注意到Google X的衍生公司IYO指控OpenAI抄袭了他们的智能耳机创意，这起诉讼非常引人关注。

Apple missed the early AI wave and is struggling to catch up. Could acquiring the AI search startup Perplexity be the solution? Insiders reveal Apple executives have considered buying Perplexity, which could replace Google search on iPhones and help revive Apple’s weak AI strategy.Get Ad Free AI Daily Brief: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/AIDailyBrief⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brought to you by:Gemini - Supercharge your creativity and productivity - ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://gemini.google/⁠⁠⁠KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

关于Perplexity是否是苹果真正需要的这个问题，我理解Parker所说的两者都是产品DNA公司，而苹果缺乏这种技术DNA的论点。然而，尽管苹果历史上一直是一家产品公司，但在人工智能方面，他们做得并不好。他们对人工智能的思考方式非常温和，似乎很有吸引力，但他们根本没有以任何有意义的方式执行它。

所以我不知道我们能在多大程度上认为他们是伟大的产品制造商，至少在这个新的领域是这样。我认为最大的问题是，如果他们真的进行了这样的收购，他们会在多大程度上让Perplexity真正引领他们的产品战略，而不是仅仅作为一种辅助手段。目前掌管苹果的团队已经证明自己无法以正确的方式竞争。如果收购不涉及实际的领导层整合，我不知道它是否会奏效。

尽管如此，正如Parker所说，作为消费者，我认为我们不可能输。Perplexity要么获得实力去做更大更好的事情，要么保持独立并继续以惊人的速度创新。无论哪种方式，我们所有人都会赢。这仍然是一个非常有趣的时刻，也是一个值得关注的故事。但就目前而言，这就是今天的AI每日简报的全部内容。下次再见，和平。
