Apple has over-promised and under-delivered so many times in this space, going back to the launch of the original Siri. So while they could win, it’s pretty hard to get hyped about…

We are already at that point. People using LLMs to send emails for other LLMs to summarize and then the other party responds with their LLMs. Human communication replaced by wastef…

Everyone says supply and demand and then explains labour supply. Which is an important piece. But the labour demand half is important too. Bigtech makes so much money (or is so wel…
