I really hope this goes somewhere.

Not because I have any sympathy for the shareholders, mind you, fuck absolutely everyone involved. But I think it would be very funny to make Apple prove in court that AI is such dogshit it would've hurt the product more to implement it than not.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

[-] magiccupcake@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I mean you do have a messaging problem. Your leadership has received bad messaging about what "AI" can do!

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

If they are anything like the leadership at my company they have received plenty of information about what AI can do from that IT, but you see they went to this convention in Las Vegas and some self-styled "business guru" told them everything they wanted to hear.

Advertise more and sell harder. Who cares what kind of trash the customers end up buying, bevcause only profits matter.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm surprised they at least know they have a problem. I would think these companies would just say "look how the sales numbers haven't changed, that means that we were correct in doing the AI thing. Without it, sales would be sinking into the ocean!"

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

The overpromising is criminal despite what the actual law says. Let the companies pushing AI beyond it‘s boundaries bleed.

I don't remember writing this....or having that account!

[-] oakey66@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago

Are you asleep? EVERYONE ASKED FOR AI IN ALL THE THINGS!

[-] oakey66@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yep I’m asleep without my Apple watch because the battery barely holds out a day and a half.

THE SHARES! THEY NEED TO BE HELD! ONLY THE HOLDERS OF THE SHARES KNOW WHAT IS BEST!

Why doesn't Apple become a PBC?

[-] bilb@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

A Pretty Big Company? I think they are beyond that classification.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 26 points 1 week ago

Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There's already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.

There is some possibility that Tim Cook will resign or be fired.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

So, your MO is fooling customers since Jobs. You learn that fooling customers doesn't ever get punished. Then your shareholders become fooled well enough over time. Then your management is so involved in fooling customers and shareholders that they don't know anything else. Then there's bound to happen a moment.

[-] J52@lemmy.nz 21 points 1 week ago

Let's face it the problem is mostly the people. If AI was as super duper as claimed to be it would be able to construct advertising that makes everyone go: 'Yeah, I have to have this, it's useful, ethical, the bees knees really. '

The little advertising that still makes it over my thresholds is bad to abominable and of that what registers for me has the opposite affect it intents - I go out of my way to avoid it.

[-] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I hope this is the beginning of the end for AI.

[-] utopiah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

What?! Haven't your heard?

  • FSD is happening next year, for sure,
  • we're still 18 months away from developers being replaced,
  • it's "deep" reasoning, basically nearly ASI!

Peak ludites gathering here lmao

I'd be willing to literally bet everything I own that AI will not be gone anytime soon. It's absurd to even think that we would ever go back to pre-llm world unless a world ending event happens.

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

All the shareholders of AI progressing companies should do this.

[-] zoe@literature.cafe 8 points 1 week ago

Apple could have just...not gone for AI at all, they're now in an awkward spot where they know it would make their product worse to implement it, yet they promised anyways

I think Apple is going to have to release Safari for Windows and Linux to use new users as guinea pigs.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 1 week ago

I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.

[-] Loduz_247@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Was Safari for Windows a good, bad, or average product?

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 week ago

I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn't even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

[-] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Normal. I used Opera. QuickTime player for Windows was nice. Used it under W2K for most of media things in the interwebs.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn't saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.

[-] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Generally, Safari was kind of middling in function and design until around 2018, when it got more streamlined or something; at least, its apparent performance improved over the other browsers on macOS. It was novel on Windows but pretty limited and just, meh.

Edit: I forgot, the clean, minimalist, ad free reader view on the windows version was very nice to have. Long time ago!
