In which @gruber roasts Apple for lying about Apple Intelligence: https://daringfireball.net/2025/03/something_is_rotten_in_the_state_of_cupertino
Good stuff! But, I think he’s overthinking it. What happened was, Board-level people and Wall Street both yelled the same thing at Tim Cook: “Make grandiose AI announcements or your share price goes down.” In 2025 capitalism, those voices can’t be ignored or resisted. So they made the announcement.
Also, good on Apple for declining to ship a shit product under the Apple Intelligence brand.
