Like they say: "In a goldrush, sell vendor locked shovels."




I would say that's what Nvidia is doing.

I'm not sure how Apple is enabling anything interesting around AI right now.

That's what this bland article is not even touching on. Yes, having missed the boat is great if the boat ends up sinking. That doesn't make missing boats a great strategy.

Building huge models and huge data centers is not the only thing they could have done.

They had some interesting early ideas on letting AI tap app functionality client-side. But that has gone nowhere, and now everything of relevance is happening on servers.

Apple's devices are not even remotely the best dumb terminals to tap into that. Even that crown goes to Android.


May I remind that iPhone can’t remove the crowds from tourism photos, so all Android users have memories without crowds. So, in a goldrush, sell dirt.

There's a thing I didn't know I was missing.

Although I am an Android user, I am not enough of a narcissist to need to remove the crowds from my tourism photos. So, not all Android users have photos without crowds.

Yeah I mean... I take a lot of joy in the random yet specific faces in those places I visited long ago. It's an important part of the memory for me.

Having a clear background used to be difficult/expensive, so a photo where you appear to have exclusive access to the area is a high social signal.

Now that it’s cheap and easy, those kind of photos will lose its signal.

Everyday Syndrome is proven right.
