  • it will be interesting to see how apple tries to instill consumer trust for doing something technally less secure than microsoft’s on-device copilot garbage (which was kind of a PR failure as we all know). as always, apple knows when to innovate and knows when to follow the leader

    don’t get me wrong, both companies are profit seeking entities but it’s always impressive how apple uses marketing to pull off parallel implementations with 99% less uproar. in my view, articles like this are a grassroots of what it’s planning to maximize support

    edit: to be more clear this is an apple enthusiast comment; i am inspired/in awe by apple’s marketing talent and product strategy. i am just highly critical of the AI trend going around



  • children generally are able to have multiple parents.

    if i give credit to Alice for being Bobby’s mother, i’m not minimizing the parenthood of any of Bobby’s other parents. just giving credit where due.

    i would not hesitate to give a couple dozen people the title of father/mother/parent of the iPhone. seems quite appropriate and fair.











  • It’s all marketing. You likely only know that Dominos had the system patented because it slaps a big patent number right on the tracker. The fact that you’re discussing it is essentially free advertising and increases brand awareness. So, this post suggests that the investment in patent lawyers was likely worthwhile for the company.

    Largely, consumers seem to derive the below listed perceptions when they recognize that a product is protected by a patent:

    1. When a message about a product being protected by a patent is conveyed, the company as a whole is perceived to be innovative
    1. The patented product is perceived to be superior
    1. The patented product is perceived to be unique, as no one else can copy the patented product
