And as we know, heat waves in Cupertino mean it’s too hot for Tim to skateboard into work so no beta until next week.
Kinda weird how they went to weekly releases for 18.1 and now are apparently back to 2 week intervals.
There you have it, those weekly releases was just to much for them to handle.
Gotta wonder how other companies do it. Maybe they need to hire more people to test their software? They could always hire all of us here, I could use a good paying Apple job, what do you say @TimCook??
More like the people that didn't get weekly updates got upset, sometimes we wait a lot longer for seeds.
It's beta cycle seeding time again, do we feel lucky today?
I wouldn't mind bringing the coffees and that way we would be Tim's companions
Good Mornang!!! What do you think Tim’s coffee order is? Seems like a latte guy to me…(as am I)

According to Goldman Sachs, AI will drive data center power consumption 160% higher by 2030, and the AI boom will increase global data center electricity usage by 3%-4% by the end of this decade. Additionally, the International Energy Agencyforecasts that global energy usage by data centers could potentially double by 2026, becoming roughly equivalent to Japan’s electricity consumption.
Concerns are rising about AI’s operational costs as its energy consumption grows. While the semiconductor industry continues to innovate with more energy-efficient hardware, it is also being challenged to maintain the quality and reliability of power to continue fueling the demand for even more advanced AI systems.
=====
The explosive growth in AI is driving up energy needs and, in some cases, adding to greenhouse gas emissions at Big Tech companies. Microsoft and Google both reported significant increases in emissions this year, despite the companies' ambitious climate targets, and that has raised concerns among some climate-conscious investors.
So much for being green. Many tech companies are now farming out their AI infrastructure to other companies to avoid bad press/blame.
Addressing AI’s Insatiable Demand For Power
The tug-of-war between performance, power, and thermal management will undoubtedly continue for the foreseeable future as AI and future workloads demand more performance.

Shoulda stayed at Motel 6, they'll leave the light on, while we sit with no updates.

Yea this is part of how bad ai is gonna be, of course, now the quartz they need isn’t shipping so might be some delays in all this.
Two thoughts -
Apple has found some huge issues in 18.1 and is working on fixing them.
OR
Apple is ready to release 18.1 and is prepping the RC for Monday/Tuesday.
Either way they sure want to get Apple Intelligence out for all the new 16's out there.

Yeah, happy to hire my old man to them! Can’t believe how much troubles and bugs he’s getting on his iPhones, and I have sort them out if possible 😰
