This new guy is from Microsoft, who have enshittified every product they own with AI, ads, zero privacy data exfiltration, cloud everything, no security framework whatsoever, and the like.

I hope they don’t do anything remotely like that at Apple.

I am completely okay with the Apple approach to date (privacy and late mover cost advantage over progress and burning money/raising prices).

At this point, their investment to ship a better Siri is nearly zero if they take an open source model and run it on the device. Did John really mishandle it, or did he realise this and decide not to burn $BILS of cash and play the long game instead?
