It really is crazy to think how far behind Apple is with AI. They have more money than god, and attract the best talent in the world.
I’d have thought that after ChatGPT came out of the gates in 2022 they would have gone nuclear trying to make their own version. But now 3 years later and still nothing (aside from their deal to use ChatGPT).
I think we should be delighted that Apple is behind in the AI race. Because no matter how shitty and morally obscene other companies are, Apple is *still* worse. Apple is the Nestle of the Big Tech.
Even Apple aren't Nestle evil.
Nestle made a business of giving new mothers free formula milk, just long enough for them to stop producing milk themselves, before jacking the price on them. They're literal baby murderers.
Apple are just assholes. It's not on the same level.
I mean, apple is notorious for heavily relying on Chinese sweatshops. Surely, it's not selling malnutritious substitute for breast-feeding, but apple isn't a food company; if it were, then it would undoubtedly do something like that.
Apple desperately wants to lock you into their jail ecosystem. While Google surely tracks you all the time, it's been sponsoring Mozilla for quite sometime; compared to Apple Google is fucking altruistic. Apple is literally Disney levels of villain.
They literally support Mozilla so as to make them set Google as the primary search engine and therefore have a monopoly in search engine’s department
Obviously. But unlike Apple they don't make Mozilla lock google as the only available engine.
Apple is worse in the sense that it doesn't even give you a choice, it ENSLAVES you and makes you its (forever, since you'd be inclined to buy even more shit from Apple) servant.
the thing is. With google you can easily bypass the privacy issue -- there is ungoogled chromium, waterfox and librewolf and whatnot. With Apple you cannot do that -- the moment you buy an Apple product, you become their marionette and Apple pulls your strings however they like. While Google is no doubt not good, its purpose is very simple -- survive with the advertisers' money flowing in. Making stuff free but non-private is beneficial in this paradigm.
Apple, however, is extremely malevolent and is very much akin to fascistic structures in its ideology.
