Welcome to Jumble, your go-to source for AI news updates. This week, Apple rebuilt Siri and quietly handed its brain to Google. And Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump landed on the same odd idea: the public should own a slice of AI. Let’s dive in ⬇️
In today’s newsletter:
🗣️ Siri gets a full rebuild powered by Gemini
💵 A push to hand the public a cut of AI
📉 Wall Street preps for an AI jobs squeeze
🏗️ Beijing lines up a colossal AI spending package
🧩 Weekly Challenge: Out-think the AI coming for your job
🤖 Apple Rebuilt Siri and Outsourced Its Brain
At WWDC on Monday, Apple unveiled Siri AI, a ground-up rebuild that chats back and forth, reads your screen, and acts across your apps. It was also Tim Cook's final keynote before John Ternus takes over in September.
Would you trust a Google-powered Siri with your texts and photos?
🧠 Gemini Under the Hood
The new Siri runs on a custom Google Gemini model that Apple licenses rather than builds. Heavy reasoning stays on Apple's private servers, so the company swears your data never leaves its control.
🎨 The Other Standouts
Image Playground now spins up photorealistic images, and Photos can reframe a shot's composition after you take it. Safari will also watch a page and ping you when something changes, like a restock or price drop.
🔒 Not Everyone Gets It
It lands as a beta this year and a free fall update, English-first on iPhone 15 Pro and up. It skips China outright and arrives late in the EU, where new rules are holding it back.
🏛️ Bernie and Trump Agree That You Should Own AI
Bernie Sanders is drafting the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, which would hand the public a 50% stake in the biggest AI companies through a one-time tax paid in stock, not cash.
Should citizens own a percentage of major AI companies?
🗽 The President Wants in Too
Trump floated his own version, a partnership with the American public, with AI bosses headed to the White House to discuss it. His team already grabbed a 10% slice of Intel, so government equity is no fringe idea.
🤝 Both Sides Actually Agree
A democratic socialist and a Republican president rarely agree, yet both now say the AI boom should pay everyone. Sam Altman even met Sanders and backed the idea, though he balked at 50%.
Weekly Scoop 🍦
🧠 Weekly Challenge: Out-Think the AI Coming for Your Job
Challenge: With banks trimming junior roles and Washington fighting over who profits from AI, the smart move is getting ahead of it. This week, make AI map your own career.
Here’s what to do:
📋 Step 1: Feed it your real role. Paste your job description or a list of your weekly tasks into your AI and ask it to flag which ones it could already handle today, and which it could in a year.
🔎 Step 2: Find your moat. Ask which parts of your job are hardest for AI to replace and why. Judgment calls, relationships, and messy real-world context usually top the list, so those are the skills worth doubling down on.
🛠️ Step 3: Build a 30-day plan. Have it map a short, specific plan to make you the person who runs the AI instead of the one it replaces, then ask for one habit you can start this week.
Is Siri finally catching up to the AI age? And, will the US government actually partner with AI companies to give the public a stake? See you next time! 🚀
