Such a wrong take on Apple by Chamath Palihapitiya and @jason unfortunately. Apple has already won XR race with VisionOS and a wearable race on your face gents, you just don’t realize it yet since you probably don’t use it (but you will). They have basically already won next... big device race. Regarding AI they are again ahead of everyone because they build on privacy first. Right now it slows them down, but in the future privacy will be one of the biggest differences in consumer choices when deciding on which AI to use. Apple today has incredible combo of hardware (M4 is a beast) and local models. They will push it even further. My spatial persona is being generated locally within 30 seconds and looks exactly like me. Insane 🤯 Google has great chance with their AndroidXR wearables and AI models. Meta is quite screwed. They failed VR race, now he is panicking and trying to buy his wait out but they lack platform play which is the most important one. So no, Apple is not loosing, they are just playing long term play and they do it masterfully.show more

@chamath @Jason I stopped reading at “won the xr race”

Michael1 year ago

@chamath @Jason I wish you were right, but you’re not. Apple fumbled the AV project so hard. They’ve fumbled their Siri opportunity. They’re surviving on Steve Jobs iPhone after all these years. iPad and AirPods are also great, but the idea that they’re doing well in VR vs @Meta is fantasy.

Artur Sychov ᯅ1 year ago

@chamath @Jason @Meta Did you ever use XR products daily?

Cederik ᯅ1 year ago

@chamath @Jason And Meta lost because of philosophy, not technological capabilities

Artur Sychov ᯅ1 year ago

@chamath @Jason Exactly. Lack of clear leadership and vision

johnd1 year ago

@chamath @Jason You’re confusing things that we care about as “XR people” with things that everyone cares about.

@chamath @Jason Strapping computer to face is an atrocity Steve Jobs would never have allowed out of the labs I don’t like Jason but this is correct. Unless activist investors wake up and demand Tim to resign, Apple is getting slow Cooked

@chamath @Jason Steve Jobs wanted this

Ravi Krishnan1 year ago

@chamath @Jason Dave had a good take where he mentions about him having a ton of apple devices and then having his AirPods turn into an agent. He is talking about the glasses we're going to get. Also, he needs a lighter headset to work.

What is Apple doing in the AI race? Ever since ChatGPT came out in 2022, every tech company realized that generative AI is the next big thing. So, all these companies dropped everything else and started focusing on it first. Google launches Bard and does a bunch of stuff. Microsoft teams up with OpenAI and rolls out a pilot. Adobe launches Firefly. Elon Musk starts his new company, XI. Meta launches the Llama model. Tons of other AI startups pop up, and investors are throwing money at AI like crazy Apple's AI strategy is fascinating because it's playing a completely different game than Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. While everyone else rushed to build the most powerful language models, Apple took a fundamentally different approach that aligns with their core business model and strengths Apple Intelligence is comprised of multiple highly capable generative models that are specialized for users' everyday tasks, but unlike competitors, Apple isn't trying to win the raw AI power race. Instead, they're leveraging what they've always done best, creating seamless, integrated experiences The key insight you mentioned about revenue models is crucial. While Microsoft makes 48% from cloud services and Google relies heavily on cloud and subscriptions, Apple's business is 80% hardware driven. This means they don't need to compete on cloud AI services they can focus on making AI work better on the devices people already own Apple's four step strategy you outlined is spot on, The "Invisible Model" approach is brilliant because most users don't want to think about which AI model to use. Tim Cook doubled down on Apple's AI strategy, insisting that generative AI was never off the table and was always about pursuing it in a thoughtful kind of way, they're making AI feel natural rather than technical Ecosystem Integration remains Apple's superpower. At WWDC 2025, Apple announced what it calls the Foundation Models framework, which will let developers tap into its AI models while offline, this is huge because it means third party apps can now leverage Apple's AI without internet dependency, something Google and Microsoft can't easily replicate across their fragmented hardware ecosystem The Distribution Advantage is where Apple really shines. They have direct control over 2 billion devices with powerful Apple Silicon chips that can run AI models locally. Apple is still pushing App Intents, the same system that makes it simpler for Apple Intelligence and Siri to use apps and get things done, which will enable those complex multi app workflows you described Building Trust through privacy focused messaging is classic Apple. They're positioning themselves as the "safe" AI option while competitors deal with data privacy concerns The real genius is that Apple doesn't need to build the world's best AI model, they just need to build the best AI experience. By partnering with OpenAI for complex tasks while handling simple ones locally, they're creating a hybrid approach that prioritizes user experience over technical bragging rights The upcoming Apple Intelligence features slated for 2025 demonstrate Apple's commitment to integrating advanced AI technologies into its devices, enhancing user experience, and promoting productivity, suggesting they're still in the early phases of a longer term strategy This approach could indeed "wipe out" Android and Windows in the AI era not by building better models, but by making AI feel like a natural extension of the devices people already love. It's classic Apple, arrive late, but redefine the entire category

The Biggest Opportunity in Consumer AI: Google Going Full OpenClaw David Sacks: “Google is going to compete very vigorously for the consumer because it is existential to them. It's very clear that search and AI chat are kind of merging into one space. I also think that Google is in an outstanding position to do the whole OpenClaw thing because they already have access to your calendar, your documents, your email. The agent doesn't really have to earn your trust because you already trust Google with all of your stuff.” Chamath Palihapitiya: “They're the only one that has so much free cash flow that they can almost view it as two separate companies, which it effectively is. GCP over here runs the enterprise play, and then Google Consumer over here runs the consumer chatbot play. And they can keep them segregated. That's so much harder for a startup to do because on top of just keeping everybody organized, you have the financing problem of constantly having to raise more money because you don't yet have a profit engine that spits out cash. They're probably the only one. And you can see it in the valuations. People believe the durability of Google more than they believe the durability of anything else.” @jason: “Google has announced Google Workspace Studio to do AI automation, and people are playing with it already. So they have joined the OpenClaw party.”

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says hiring John Giannandrea to lead Apple's AI team has been the biggest mistake of Tim Cook's career at Apple: "In 2018, they hired John Giannandrea. He was this high flyer at Google. He ran AI in search, and Apple thought they would hire this guy and really hit the ground running and be at the forefront of AI." "Just seven years earlier, they announced Siri in 2011. There was absolutely nothing like it. It was a breakthrough. But then it became utter junk." "You haven't even scratched the surface of how big a problem this is for Apple. They've completely screwed up AI in every way, and it comes down to hiring the wrong people and entrusting the wrong people."

There are a lot of Black people that are out to better and whiten the race, but no one ever calls them out on it, yet they go around demonizing Latino and a bunch of other groups for doing the same thing, I'm starting to think they are mad because they are late to the race mixing party, and all the stuff that they preach about their racial purity is just a bluff!

Sen. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso to APC: "Right now, out of the 36 governors, almost 30 have been taken over by the APC government. They are now putting pressure and tension, so that everyone will defect to their side. But if everyone joins them, where will the masses have a choice? Does it mean that even before elections are conducted, they will just declare that everyone has already won? And those people don’t even understand politics. They think gathering Governors, Bigwigs, Current and former is what wins elections. Winning elections is about calming the voters and convincing them to accept you. When you succeed, both you and the people benefit.

Jews and Freemasons "They will not change historical facts!" Oh, but they did, and they got away with it for a very long time. It is still working on the majority. I know the suspicion of Hitler being a Freemason, and in many ways, I agree he probably was working with them, but his passion for nationalism is still remarkable. His words were still inspiring. They were still good. Orwell was right, in the time we are living in now, nothing is left of the old world. It has all be rewritten, repainted, renamed, or changed. Sometimes a painting of the slaying of a dragon is discovered in Italy. No one cares. No one wonders. No one tries to figure it out, but a small few and they are conspiracy theorists.

That's a magical place to build from because you can move at the speed of technology." - Kirsten Green (Founder & Managing Partner Forerunner) "The consumer will build with you. They will tell you they hate it. They will tell you they love it." "Why not start with the consumer? Think big, think ambitiously about the future, and the role you want to play as a founder and company builder."

The push for transhumanism is gaining a lot of momentum in these last few years. They are experimenting in labs, doing things they shouldn’t, and playing God with creation. They want to merge you with Ai, which is demonically driven, so eventually everyone will be a demonic hybrid. Just as it was in the days of Noah.

Chamath and David Sacks start laughing at Jcal's $AAPL thesis: “I think $AAPL is a screaming buy right now. And that's not financial advice, but my Lord, that company could just run the table on AI if they get this right." “It’s just like the iPhone. Everybody laughed at the first iPhone.” "If you think about how Apple makes money off of hardware, off of their devices, they will put so much downward pressure on Claude and OpenAI by just running local models and supporting them with this memory architecture." "It’s going to be wild when people have unlimited tokens on their desktop, I'm telling you."

Will McEvoy on why privacy is the most important investment thesis in technology right now: "Internet: step down in privacy. Phones: another step down. Social media: another. AI: very large step down." "We have never had less privacy than we do today. Privacy technology is a hedge against surveillance and AI's negative externalities." "No one is working on privacy in public markets. Apple says they are, but there's not another public company focused on privacy outside of us."

A SLAVE TO YOU. 2001 was her peak. It is easy and safe to say “Glad it was not me” and “I would have done it differently”. I see. Fame and Fortune is like dancing with a very large poisons snake and they always win. I have had, in a parallel former life, the chance to work with the very famous on their way up. The first thing I say is: “What goes up, will go down. Your career, your money (maybe) and your brain (most definitely) and just about every friendship”. This will happen to every single complex and all too human, human, some just do a good just a good job hiding it. No one is prepared for wealth and fame. Oh we all talk a big game, but no one is prepared. And the wealth and fame are a guarantee that when you fall, you fall hard. Oh you have the money to protect your fall but because of it your mind falls further than one could think is possible. You are so alone. Your parents, your grand parents, your siblings, your kids they all become part of what I call “The Elvis Syndrome”. To everything your constellation of folks around you say “Yes Elvis, that’s a real good idea”, to everything. See they assume, even if they don’t say it, that you must be a “genius” because they didn’t do what you did and they don’t have the money and fame. They assign genius to you and lesser to themselves. They dare not speak up. They prefer “Yes Elvis, have another fried peanut butter and bacon sandwich. You are not getting fat”. Long ago your burning starlight chased away any true friends, because even if they were strong to say truth, you believed your own public persona like everyone around you. You can not listen, you are the genius they have some job someplace. You also have just two options to anyone around you: 1) Your “crew” 2) People you pay And ironically they merge in to one and the same. All see your public persona and all see you as a means to get paid. Oh you go to “parties” with other rich and famous people but they are one of the above ultimately. Hierarchy forms around you and they naturally form a protection barrier. You have tantrums as fame rips you apart and you desperately try to become your public persona. Each layer you build to protect your all too human center moves you into more and more isolation. Shielded from real and needed pressures of life you are in your beautiful and well stocked velvet prison. You are now just a vehicle for moving money efficiently and surrounded by people that live off this largess. At the peak you may have advisors and they may seem to help. But they dare not tell you what they see even if they could see it. And most can’t see it because no one is prepared for it so they don’t have any better insight. This spans the enter ensemble of people that are now your satellites from gurus to lawyers, from plastic surgery doctors and fitness trainers. So what now? What if your dreams to “make it big”? Abundance does not fix a broken soul. And we all have this. Trauma is a great fuel, it will absolutely get you to orbit and you will shine, but trauma in orbit is the breaks that break you and when gravity wins, and it always does, you have no idea how to navigate going down. Trauma is what I have seen build everyone from Elvis to Steve Jobs. Trauma unresolved took them out. I am not saying your dreams are invalid and should not be your goal, I am saying that you don’t get a pass. No one does. And with fame and fortune it is nearly impossible to address it, because your ego can’t fit in a zip code. As you prepare for you fortune, and if you are reading this, you will have one, prepare your mind. Deal with the dark places that drive you. Make peace with the past, the people that did you wrong and mostly with yourself. But in this bargain you will remove some fuel for your rocket. It is the bargain. But it is the better path. We all will dance with the snake. But hopefully will know it. And you may have fame. Just don’t become a: “Slave to you”.

Trauma is a great fuel, it will absolutely get you to orbit and you will shine, but trauma in orbit is the breaks that break you and when gravity wins, and it always does, you have no idea how to navigate going down. Trauma is what I have seen build everyone from Elvis to Steve Jobs. Trauma unresolved took them out. I am not saying your dreams are invalid and should not be your goal, I am saying that you don’t get a pass. No one does. And with fame and fortune it is nearly impossible to address it, because your ego can’t fit in a zip code. As you prepare for you fortune, and if you are reading this, you will have one, prepare your mind. Deal with the dark places that drive you. Make peace with the past, the people that did you wrong and mostly with yourself. But in this bargain you will remove some fuel for your rocket. It is the bargain. But it is the better path. We all will dance with the snake. But hopefully will know it. And you may have fame. Just don’t become a: “Slave to you”.

i will die on this hill: Apple is a frontier AI company. they will inject AI into every place you scroll, type, read and listen imagine if you could “google” a past memory or ask siri to prove you’re right in a group chat ai models that run on-device with access to your entire life. the craziest part is the models don’t even need to be big! a 20B frontier model can run smoothly on apple’s chip architecture completely privately there are 3.5 billion apple devices, the gravitational pull this company has on societal culture is unmatched

Bodycam footage out of Orlando: Woman threatens deputies with a knife, says “I’ll kill you,” and gets shot. I have a bone to pick with these situations. Half of y’all will still argue they shouldn’t have shot her… but come on. By now people should know: holding a weapon (or even making it look like you have one) in the heat of the moment with police is one of the dumbest, most insane things you can do. They don’t have time to play games when your life (and theirs) is on the line. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Scientists just figured out how to reverse aging using AI. And this is a massive breakthrough. We can now reprogram any human cell back to age 20. Heart cells, brain cells, skin cells, all reset to their biological prime. And here’s the wildest part…the technology to do this, has already existed since 2012 (it won the Nobel Prize). But the real breakthrough wasn’t possible until this year, when they supercharged it with AI. It’s a wild story. So in 2006, scientists discovered Yamanaka factors. They’re proteins that can basically convert any normal cell into a universal stem cell. Now this was a huge deal, because these stem cells are basically like magic healers. If you have torn muscle tissue, you could inject these stem cells into the area and they will turn into the youthful muscle cells you need. So Yamanaka factors were this insane breakthrough, because they allowed any human to turn any cell you already have into these magic healers. But, there was one big problem… It turns out, the original Yamanaka factors weren’t very good at this stem cell conversion. They could do it, but they just weren’t very reliable. Enter OpenAI...and this is where things get crazy. OpenAI designed a special AI model built specifically to create new proteins. Think of it like ChatGPT but for protein engineering. So they took all the Yamanaka research and asked this new AI to go ham on improving it. And get this… Their version was 50x more effective than the original. They tested it on 50 year old cells and it successfully started repairing 30% of their cells in just 7 days. This is just science fiction…it actually happened. And it sounds crazy, but in a few years, humans will be able to take a shot that will literally reverse the age of their cells.

Running this page has opened my eyes to how many racists who hate white people we have living amongst us. It’s disgusting. I see on a daily basis, people in the comments banging on about slavery and colonialism. They don’t realise the luckiest day of their lives was being born in a western democracy. They have lived a life of privilege but like to be a victim. They are angry with white people moving into black countries hundreds of years ago. But perfectly fine with black people moving to white countries in the present day. They call it immigration when it’s them. They are in support of people being able to live wherever they want. Just not when it’s white people. That’s colonialism and it’s evil. They don’t realise they are everything that they hate the colonisers for. They take all the benefits of being here. But still hate us for it. They use history and things that didn’t happen to them as a scapegoat to be openly hateful towards us. In their own mind it justifies their racism so they can still hold the self righteous belief they are a good person. But when I see people like this. It restores my faith in immigration. It’s good to know that this can sometimes be the outcome. Not everyone is selfish and only care about their own race. There are plenty of people who care about us too. Plenty of people see it for what it is and stand by our side and I have nothing but respect for them. I wish everyone was like that. Thank you to this man for speaking out for us and showing common sense. Because when we say this, they call is far right racists and fascists. But in reality we are only human just like anyone else. Only we are taught to just accept this and eat shit and be happy. It’s double standards and this man is bang on it 👏👏
