#4It feels like Apple has been very quiet about their approach in some of the future spaces (self-driving, VR/AR, AI) but then they suddenly burst out with something like Vision Pro.
It seems like they are biding their time and avoiding the hype knowing that they don't need to get their first. If they can produce a superior product their brand will let them dominate those markets whenever they decide to release.

I have an AWS account. Is there a type of EC2 instance I can fire up and run this thing on?

What makes you think vision pro is dominating? Unlike iPhone etc it has no distinguishing feature I know of.

#7I was not expecting for Apple to be releasing any open source generative ai product. So the big players in the download it yourself gang are Meta & Apple? I don't think anyone would have taken that bet when OpenAI blew up.

Someone just noticed Apple’s decades old SOP. Watch the aggregate fumble about, fail over and over, then take the few ideas that survive rapid, aimless iteration attempts and add the last mile of polish.
A decade of crappy Palm, WinCE, and easily forgotten Java based mobile devices came and went before iPhone.
They know what software people refuse to accept; it’s the hardware experience that matters and they’ll wait until the hardware is there.
Modern hardware is responsible for AI, more reliable networks, and the rest of modern compute. Has little to do with the bloated software stacks we git pull into the data center
Edit: Also consider that Intel and Apple don’t just make a consumer device. They design an advanced manufacturing pipeline. The difference between print(“hello world”) and for index in array: print(contents of index)
That’s the basis of their value and why they are propped up by government and why software focused startups will always just be pump and dump schemes.

Speaking as a VR enthusiast who has virtually no interest in it: The Vision Pro is an entirely new product relative to any other VR headset I know of. It offers a comprehensive set of computing features (discounting an App Store which has only really just started) that puts it roughly on par with something like iPad OS. I would say it dominates currently for VR headsets if that is what you're after, because it's basically your only option. Desktop computing in VR is possible with things like a Vive or an Index but the experience is entirely different, worse on every front, and is basically done as a workaround in case you need to operate your PC while in VR without taking off the headset. And of course, all of those headsets are (quite intelligent, but remain merely) displays: they require a fairly powerful computer to attach to. There are headsets that operate independently too, like Meta's offerings, but those are much, much, much more restrictive in terms of capability than the Vision Pro.
My interest in VR is basically solely for gaming, so the Vision Pro for me is a complete miss and I have no plans to purchase one. That being said, in the realm of productivity VR, I'd say they are dominating in that they're the sole entrant to the market that I'm aware of and their offering is extremely compelling.
