There is some consolation there

It will get worse with the MacBook ultra rocking a M5 too.

Apple’s marketing department is gonna kill me.

This for me the main source of concern. I am having a blast vibe coding. I understand my job is at risk. But I am totally oblivious to the fact that they are accelerating climate change.

Got friends working for them as developers. They ran away. In months

Fix those and I am a buyer, at any price.

It’s also a terrible experience. Pixelated. Laggy. Can’t see where the keyboard is… it’s half baked.

I can work max one hour then I give up.

And I am not even talking about the badly taken product decisions for such a great headset but… how can they get devs onboarded for an app ecosystem for a device that can only be bought in a handful of countries?

Clearly Apple sold it and did their best so that it fails.

This has Ternus driven all over it

It’s well known within Apple that they hate each other.

And if there is, tell me what.

John Grubes might be a better authority than me in these matters and he seems to share my opinion. You can listen to it here:

BREAKING: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei submits report to U.S. Congress: "After investigation, we have discovered that Kimi K3 may have distilled a model that Anthropic has yet to develop and complete."

Congressman presses: "Your model isn't even finished yet—how could it be distilled?"

Amodei: "That's exactly why we're holding this hearing."

It shows a level of pettiness and arrogance which I never expected to see from Apple.

I can’t put myself in the mind of John, but he clearly hated Tang.

From outside and with a parent’s perspective this looks like my kids throwing a tantrum.

John must be thinking he is the new Steve Jobs (Steve would definitely do this)

Edit: all that said, the app is irrelevant. What I want to say is that live transcripts on iOS using Apples frameworks works very well. Only thing I miss is diarization support.

Splitting the audio in multiple segments and firing it up without hitting the maximum limit of concurrent decoding streams makes it blazing fast. Fair enough you loose the cut, but it’s good enough for just podcast. In one minute it chews through one hour of audio. This on an iPhone 17 Pro.

Regardless of wether this is right or wrong, and not even getting into the correctness of such claims, the fact is that he fired 10000 employees, from what used to be, from the outside, an engineering first company. And he sent hints to the market that more layoffs would come as agents become better.

The first problem is: it looks we still need human beings, AI is great, but its not as awesome as we initially thought.

The second problem is: all people who can leave are leaving, and those who can't are looking for a job. Humans, we need stability, a steady flow of income, and joy in what we do. By firing people and putting them in permanent observation, for an AI that will replace them, he is destroying any reason anybody would ever want to work for such a company.

Mark would make a great Lumon CEO

Why would you not trust Jolla? It was born from Nokia employees. GrapheneOS is a great alternative. Still Android though.
