Gregory's Server“Here’s to the stupid ones” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it…

   @stroughtonsmith my kids, 7, 9 and 10, made up a game on their own called “hey Alexa“, we’re one of them says “hey Alexa play <song >”, and the other one has to sing that song. Every once in a while they will say “hey Siri play <song>”, and the other will say “I’m sorry, I can’t complete that request right now”, based on their experience trying to use our HomePod, and they all laugh and laugh and laugh… @stroughtonsmith Siri has been nothing more than a punchline to them for literally their entire lives. As they become teenagers and they get their own devices, you think they will go back to Siri? Not likely… Apple shouldn’t count on GenZ or Gen Alpha to use the services @stroughtonsmith One of the things I liked about mid 2000's #Apple and it was very apparent with the 2007 #iPhone, they realized we aren't good at everything. Google got to do maps, Yahoo handled the weather and stocks. Apple really should consider standing down on some of the push to in house everything on the #iOS.  @stroughtonsmith Well, looking at the current political environment in the US it's hard to not feel Here's for the stupid ones is 💯 on target and a dream come true for Apple shareholders.   @stroughtonsmith Ugh that sounds awful. The dishwasher analogy struck me: while we do save time washing dishes thanks to the machine, we also easily become more wasteful in our usage of clean dishes. Same with clothes -- since they can be cleaned so easily, why not wear a fresh shirt for work everyday instead of the same one for a whole week? Now what's the AI rewriting going to do but create more messages, which need to be summarized badly by AI to keep on top of it so we can message more 🥲 |
Speaking of, some reputations last a long time…
(I know it’s staged, don’t @ me)
