Contrarian take on Apple talking to Google and others for AI.

Original iPhone launched with a dedicated Google Maps app. Apple learned how it was used and built their own app.

Would imagine they will do the same thing with AI. Get paid like they do for search, but then use usage data to carve off over time.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

their software has been historically pretty bad.

- imessage. unusable compared to whatsapp.
- calendar? ok at best. zero innovation.
- notes. decent for keeping record of kids shoe sizes. probably their best product though.
- reminders? painful.
- freeform? did anyone even use that?
- keynote, pages, numbers 😱

- Siri. Garbage
- Xcode. Garbage
- iCloud. Didn’t work for 10 years
- mail. 😂
- spotlight. Worked fine and then ray cast was instantly better
- music. Nope
- books. Nope

And then Pandora followed by Spotify gobbled up their user base by making an interface that didn’t suck
