Let's face it the problem is mostly the people.
If AI was as super duper as claimed to be it would be able to construct advertising that makes everyone go:
'Yeah, I have to have this, it's useful, ethical, the bees knees really. 'The little advertising that still makes it over my thresholds is bad to abominable and of that what registers for me has the opposite affect it intents - I go out of my way to avoid it.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.

Apple professional management have run the company down with their many foolish decisions. Feels similar to how Microsoft became worse annd worse after XP.

Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.
This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

Now I'm nostalgic over chromecore aesthetic and that look, silver Game Boy, silver PS2, silver SW Phantom Menace interiors. Or matte black as an alternative, too looking very cool. Or at least that "normal" matte white. But in UIs - XP felt a bit too much, tiring for my eyes. Still, XP with default blue theme and jump-to-lightspeed wallpaper is what home and nostalgie are for me.

This can be a very good thing or a very bad thing.
schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 07:08 zuletzt editiert vonFor this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil' issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.

Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There's already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.
schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 07:51 zuletzt editiert vonSo, your MO is fooling customers since Jobs. You learn that fooling customers doesn't ever get punished. Then your shareholders become fooled well enough over time. Then your management is so involved in fooling customers and shareholders that they don't know anything else. Then there's bound to happen a moment.

Was Safari for Windows a good, bad, or average product?

schrieb am 24. Juni 2025, 08:34 zuletzt editiert vonI'm pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.
You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you'll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.
