蘋果內耗? Siri原創團隊全部離職!

Almost all of the talent Apple acquired from the original Siri team has reportedly left the company, with a pair of key departures having taken place in recent weeks.

據報道，蘋果公司Siri原創團隊幾乎所有的人才全部離職，其中幾位關鍵人物在最近幾周剛剛離開。

Calling him "one of the last members of the original Siri team," The Information reported on last Wednesday that Darren Haas has left Apple for General Electric. He'll join Steve D'Aurora, another ex-Siri team member who resigned from Apple for GE a few weeks ago.

Information網站於上週三報道稱，此前自稱是“Siri團隊的最後幾位原創成員之一”的達倫·哈斯已於幾周前離開蘋果公司，赴通用電氣任職。他會和幾周前另一名Siri團隊的前成員史蒂夫·德洛拉一道前往任職。

The changeups also come a few days after a team of ex-Siri personnel unveiled Viv, a new, advanced virtual assistant that aims to offer functionality well beyond what Apple's Siri can currently do. Demonstrated tasks include ordering a car from Uber, buying flowers from FTD, and ordering tickets from a variety of services, and offer intelligent, contextual responses, such as alternatives when a showtime for a movie is sold out.

在此次離職潮發生的幾天前，前Siri團隊成員剛剛發佈了Viv。Viv是一款功能類似Siri但性能遠勝於其的軟件。目前其演示的功能包括呼叫優步專車，通過FTD去購買鮮花，通過一系列其他服務去買票，提供如某時段電影票售罄時的解決方案等在內的智能情景響應服務。

Haas's departure affirms an earlier rumor suggesting Apple's "head of cloud engineering" was on his way out the door. The Siri team is said to have clashed with management at Apple, and have particularly been at odds with the team that oversees Apple's iCloud services.

哈斯的離職證實此前蘋果“雲計算負責人”即將離開公司的傳言。據稱Siri團隊同管理層產生過沖突，和負責管理雲服務的團隊也存在分歧。

Apple apparently decided to extend the Siri cloud computing platform to include services under the iCloud team's banner, like iTunes and iMessages. That transition is said to have made some at Apple feel uneasy about job security.

蘋果公司將Siri雲計算平臺納入iCloud團隊旗下（包括iTunes和iMessages）的意圖非常明顯，此舉令許多職工擔憂自己能否保住工作。

Both Haas and D'Angelo were key acqui-hires that came on board through Apple's purchase of Siri in 2010. The tech developed by the company debuted on the iPhone 4s and is now integrated into all current iOS devices, serving functions from creating calendar entries to answering basic user inquiries.

2010年蘋果公司收購了Siri團隊，而哈斯和德洛拉是團隊中的關鍵人物。Siri在iPhone 4s中首次亮相，如今已預裝在所有使用iOS系統的設備中，功能包括查看日曆，回答用戶提出的基本問題等。

However, Siri was meant to do much more than its current feature set as developed under Apple. Prior to the acquisition, Siri integrated with a number of e-commerce providers, ranging from movie tickets to food orders.

然而若非蘋果的緣故，Siri本應具備更多的功能。併購前，Siri上能聯繫到很多電商，用戶可以用軟件訂電影票，叫外賣等。
