I can't help but be intrigued by this. I hope it ends up being great.

That said, there's a lot of big, arrogant talk. Altman says LoveFrom is the densest collection of talent that's ever existed in the world, and Ive just nods along. The cynical take is this is two men longing to be significant. Ive wants to recapture the significance he felt from helping develop the iPhone and other Apple products. Altman wants to win the AI war. 

The grandiosity of Ive and Altman's video smacks of Imran Chaudri talking about the Humane AI Pin (before we knew what it was). 

It feels desperate. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

A really bad look for Apple and a sign that they have lost their moral compass.

Based on your objections, it's not at all clear when Apple had a moral compass that you would approve of. Steve Jobs defended Apple's financial interests even more aggressively than the current leadership.

It’s a sad day for freedom. 

What’s gonna be sad for the average developer going forward is that Xcode (and all those other tools) will not be cheap/free anymore all those developer tools that Apple has given away will over time will start to cost real money up front a la like the good old days you know those two grand software developer packs. 

The big companies never cared about the small fry developer (as portrayed Sweeney Todd) its like saying, Elon cares he doesn’t refer to the way Adobe is behaving now with their new subscription plan, what is funny is all of the software companies who think they’re gonna have a subscription here and a subscription there similar to the way all those tv/video/movie production houses, cable internet/channels (including Apple) thought there was a pot of gold with endless subscriptions but there is a finite limitation for the average person/family. 

The mark/customer doesn’t have a source of endless monetary resources to have 20 monthly subscriptions going at the same time, we may be headed back to the good old days where you bought something upfront once and that’s it, I have four subscriptions, Netflix, PBS, Apple and BritBox that’s it and there will be no more than that how many do you have? And that number is across all content mediums, video, music, software yep-that’s it just four….

I hope this leads to more people leaving Adobe for other platforms. There’s no justification for this price increase beyond pure greed. And at a time when more folx then ever in the US are struggling financially, this is really gross.
