It could power a standalone app or enhance Siri, Safari, and more. Apple is hiring experts in search engine development, signaling a serious push into AI-powered search. This comes as Apple\u2019s own AI updates to Siri face delays, and Google\u2019s search dominance faces legal challenges.<\/p>\n Apple continues exploring<\/a> a possible acquisition of Perplexity AI to strengthen its AI search capabilities. While no deal is confirmed, the move would reduce reliance on Google and accelerate Siri and Safari upgrades. CEO Tim Cook says Apple is ready to invest heavily in AI, including large acquisitions.<\/p>\n CapEx<\/a> (short for capital expenditures<\/em>) refers to money spent by a company to acquire or upgrade physical assets, think data centers, servers, chip factories, and real\u00a0estate.<\/p>\n Company Earnings Reports (10-Qs and 10-Ks) Where: SEC\u2019s EDGAR Database<\/a>\u200a\u2014\u200aLook for the \u201cCapital Expenditures\u201d section in major companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, or\u00a0Google.YCharts<\/a> or Koyfin<\/a>\u200a\u2014\u200aThese platforms let you track CapEx by company over time, visualize trends, and compare tech\u00a0giants.MacroMicro<\/a>\u200a\u2014\u200aOffers macroeconomic visuals and data including tech sector investments and CapEx as a share of\u00a0GDP.<\/p>\n America\u2019s dominance in global science is under threat, argues The Atlantic<\/a>, as political interference, budget cuts, and hostility toward foreign researchers drive top talent\u00a0away.<\/p>\n Once the world\u2019s magnet for innovation, U.S. research institutions are now facing brain drain, with countries like China, Germany, and France actively recruiting disillusioned American scientists. Historian comparisons to past declines, like the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, highlight the risk of ideology overtaking inquiry.
