- apple has a lot of money and the app store is a rigged game, so they've never had to compete, not once, so the lame failed shit they've tossed out has been: 1. self driving car 2. VR/AR 3. all their AI shit 4. now a crappy neuralink for a phone
- Apple is developing brain-computer interfaces that would allow people to control their iPhones, iPads, and Vision Pro headsets with neural signals captured by a new kind of brain implant. gizmodo.com/apple-is-dev...
- All of consumer tech seems lost right now. They haven't found a genuine need, but need to continue posting absurd returns. They've been laying off in droves, and not taking risks unless other big firms are taking the same risks. None of them seem to be asking "how can we make peoples' lives easier?"
- The self-driving cars are the possible exception - looking at my elderly relatives coming to the end of their driving days, that could genuinely make their lives easier. But these efforts seem mostly focused on cities, aimed at tourists; elderly people seem very far down the list.May 14, 2025 17:00
- yeah, that's the one thing. and yes, 100%.
