How do you even compete with Apple? They have a vertically integrated stack from privacy preserving silicon to ai tech. I thought apple was going downhill, but now with private-cloud and ondevice intelligence, it makes my linux box + typing into chatgpt look like a joke.

Open source AI will discuss content that closed source Apple, Google, Altman would never touch. That could be the difference maker.
OpenAI are lobbying US govnt to force GPU manufacturrers to put chips in to prevent them running 'unnaproved' models for 'safety' . ie to block open source and privacy.
Awful if true
Apple is positioning to be the digital world order, collecting information from every user through AI. Frightening.
How do you compete against them? Provide a similar platform that is open source and amenable to third party developers, forking, modifying, allowing markets to bloom.
Provide the substrate for a complex adaptive system and it will devour the railroaded completion like complex adaptive systems always do.

iOS 18 changes everything
honestly feels like a huge turning point in computing, way more than the vision pro
Imagine the lack of privacity of vision pro with ai and more
How can we be sure of the privacy?
just read the source 😂
Unless you’re reading the source of every dependency and you build all of your software from source, you’re always trusting someone, even in open source.
Many times the software you install on your computer was built by someone else, which has the chance to inject malware, separate from the code you read from their repo.
I'm not able to read the source. I use Homebrew on MacOS and Flathub on Linux. I think Homebrew has a larger install base. Is it crazy for me to trust my use of MacOS more? I also monitor outgoing traffic with Little Snitch and use hardening guides to reduce telemetry.
I’d prefer simple if I can be sure of security and privacy.
I will never trust apple or any company listed on a stock exchange
You and your Linux box are way cooler.
#freewill 😉
Sure and in time they will know literally everything about you. Their value will come not from great products but from the information they possess and this will be even more valuable to the apparatus.
They’re just really good at taking the time to ship great stuff, that’s often in service of some greater vision that’s visible only to a small number of the leadership. Jobs set up the factory and it’s still churning out unmatched products. Every engineer there gets the last ounce of effort squeezed out them by WWDC by the system he set up. It would be even better if Jobs was still around of course, albeit with a tad more burnout.
