Mordechai Beizer on Mark Gurman: Apple's got big plans for Visual Intelligence - 'Great example! Made me laugh out loud.'
on AI is getting a bad rep - '” the Super Bowl 60 ads suggested that many brands are still hesitant to move beyond broad narratives” I have seen the enemy, and they are us.'
on AI is getting a bad rep - 'Some part of that energy is in the hot air produced and disseminated by Altman. What a bleeping tool!'
on Counterpoint: One in three phones sold in Europe last quarter was an Apple iPhone - 'Hi, Digant, Hah! Damned if they do, and damned if they don’t. What a world we live in….'
on 1,500 lawsuits have already been filed seeking refunds from Trump's tariffs - 'Only if that’s followed up with prosecutions.'
on AI is getting a bad rep - 'More fodder, this time from Sam Altman… “Sam Altman would like to remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too” techcrunch.com/2026/02/21/sam-altman-would-like-remind-you-that-humans-use-a-lot-of-energy-too/'
on Counterpoint: One in three phones sold in Europe last quarter was an Apple iPhone - 'Quite the opposite. Apple would be branded a monopolist and the EU would be going after them even harder'
on AI is getting a bad rep - 'It is their own stupid fault.. (Advertising Week): ‘WTF” is a common viewer response for the AI category in general. AI companies need to work hard at delivering a clear message and strong storytelling that ties to their brands. And despite rapid advances in generative AI since 2022, the Super Bowl 60 ads suggested that many brands are still hesitant to move beyond broad narratives of helpfulness and accessibility.’ Spot on.'
on AI is getting a bad rep - '“ Personal devices give us MORE control, more choices.” I think, that what he might be trying to say, is that “yes, electronic devices (iPhones, iPads, watches, and even laptops and AirPods) do give us more control and choices in how we interact with other people. However, as AI infiltrates these devices, people are afraid that AI will take over control of the input, processing, and output of those interactions.” Here is a simple example. I want to send out invitations to a retirement party. The ‘old’ digital way was I pick out the fonts, graphics, and wording. The AI way would be ‘hey smart Siri, make me a Retirement invitation’. [or with NeuroLink, just think it]. Now the AI version would probably look much better. But, it probably wouldn’t look and read like something I had made. But Altman would quickly add that AI would give you so many more choices, and you can make it look anyway you want. But to some that whole process seems impersonal. And intimidating (what if I can’t clearly communicate to AI what I want?). In the end, what your friends, colleagues and family see (iPhone output) becomes more and more an expression of AI than you. PS. For some people, the added filters might not be that bad of an idea.'
on Mark Gurman: Apple's got big plans for Visual Intelligence - 'I guess Gurman forgot that he’s constantly been saying Apple’s completely failed on the AI front, for the last year+.'
on 1,500 lawsuits have already been filed seeking refunds from Trump's tariffs - 'You mean dear pedo dipshit. Release the Trump-Epstein files and we’ll forgo refunds.'
on Will Apple's glasses be less creepy than Meta's? - 'Hi, Steven, What I’m suggesting would not prevent or limit anyone from taking photos in public. It’s saying only that you can’t do this covertly. If you’re using a hidden camera, it needs to clearly disclose that it’s a camera and that it is filming. The law would apply to consumer electronics devices. Whether it would be applied to ICE, police or other government equipment would be a different policy question.'
