That’s not entirely true. It’s true that Microsoft invested in Apple, but it’s not true that they were about to get broken up and that Microsoft money saved them.

The thing with “just works” in monopolies is that it eventually stops working

This gets accelerated when the company starts changing the product just for the sake of having to change something to meet some OKR, or because they need to find a way to incorporate the newest marketing buzz (cloud, AI, etc).

The Office suite was simple to use and performant. Nowadays I watched a college professor struggle for 8 minutes trying to figure out how to save a file locally rather than saving it to OneDrive, because they redesigned everything around that. It also takes an obnoxiously long time to launch, it keeps popping up some Copilot button in inconvenient places too.

as long as certain jobs and tasks can be done easier, and searches can be done faster

I’m still waiting for somebody to prove any of these statements are true. And I say that as somebody working in a company that demands that several employees use AI - all I see is that they now take extra time manually fixing whatever bad output the LLM produced, and slowly losing their ability to communicate without first consulting ChatGPT, which is both slow and concerning.

If Google is sad, I’m happy

You can have whatever token you want with all the metadata, licensing and ownership information you want…

…unless you plan on only seeing images in your own platform, nobody gives a shit, people will take screenshots and image files and share and use them however they want. There’s no world in which you load a full DRM plugin or do 4 different types of handshake with a full blockchain just to load a jpeg into a comment.

No way the lobotomized monkey we trained on internet data is reproducing internet biases! Unexpected!

How things are made matter just as much as the thing itself. People who can’t understand this simple fact are half the reason our environment is being destroyed.

If the end result is all that matters, there are a ton of unimaginable horrors that could be done.

I can’t really stand behind and defend boycotting every defense tech investor.

I can. Easily.

And don’t let their Like buttons and cookies exist in other websites too

The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internet commentary? I’m shocked!

Just ask Grok to fix the servers, AI is so much better than humans right?

A guy I know started selling AI push notifications.

Your app signs up for his service, and he uses what’s essentially ChatGPT to find the best time slot to send you custom push notifications. That’s just his third party service working with limited data and system access.

Just imagine when Google and Apple start selling that as a service integrated to the OS.
