I have an older ‘dumb’ Roomba and while I appreciate how it can handle the chore of vacuuming I often wonder if they intentionally have the dirt/hair spun like cotton candy to give the illusion/satisfaction that it’s picking up more than it actually does.

The old guard slowly being replaced one by one. Who does the Board replace Tim with eventually once he retires? I assume they learned their lesson with John Sculley and will promote from within.

Apple should continue to be run by an engineer, just as are Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, SpaceX and so on.  Nothing against marketing folks but they’re usually out of their element in matters of extreme complexity.  

I hope this is true and accurate as China is a double edged sword and poses Apple’s greatest existential threat.

This has turned into one of the more interesting forum topics.  2045 does seem overly optimistic for AGI yet 2112 seems more likely (Federighi would probably agree, being a huge Rush fan).  It’s been argued that Kubrick’s 2001 vision was delayed by the Vietnam War and the toll it took beyond lives.  There will be setbacks to AGI, such as a major worldwide economic depression once the debt loads are no longer sustainable.

Which company will become the Tyrell Corporation?  Apple, Microsoft, SpaceX, Google, ...?  Or more likely yet, which government?

Breathtaking.  At this rate maybe they should do a 5 for 1 split instead of 4 for 1 to keep it more inline with Dow 30 stocks.
