    Hmmmm, Elon is right about open AI???. Be careful out there.
    Incorrect. His crockpot crank tinfoil hat nonsense had nothing to do with this, which was simply sloppy amateur coding.

    This all looks great. What isn't great is that the Vision Pro is too expensive. There are no tiers like with any other major Apple product. You can customise the latest MacBook M3 to your budget. Likewise you can select the iPhone you can afford/or need and customise that to your budget. 
    When the original Macintosh was released there was just one price, one tier. And when corrected for inflation it was over twice the price of AVP. Guess what happened over the years after launch? Yeaaah you got it, more models and lowered prices with economy of scale. That’s how it works.

    That's what they get for telling an American company what to do...
    you do realize corporations aren’t people and the EU corporations are off shoots that are filed and exist independently as corporate entities in their respective operating countries, right? it ceases being a US company at that point, which is how & why they are taxed as citizens of those countries

    Um, interesting story, but go back to 1968 when 2001: A Space Odyssey blew everyone’s mind, on several levels, the tech depiction being just one.  HAL, tablets (albeit “laying” on a desk since they were 50 years ahead of the tech), etc etc

    Let’s not give Sculley any credit for this.
    So Elon Musk doesn’t get credit for usable EVs then as they had EVs roaming the streets a century ago.  Is that how we score it?
    No, because he didn’t found Tesla, he bought it, and he’s not an engineer, and as we’ve learned with the very public Twitter fails, a rather foolish manager. Classic case of failing upward (he was fired from PayPal before they even became PayPal). Wish my daddy had an emerald mine in S. Africa, nice way to start in life.

    That Sculley “got it right” or “predicted the future” is a rather silly premise. Ideas are absurdly simply and because of that rather worthless. Sci-fi books and movies have “predicted” conversational computing for decades and decades. It’s natural to imagine talking to a machine. 

    Implementation is what is valuable. Ideas easy, implementation hard. See Humane pin.
