basically this - it took the social media industry quite a few years to invent a simple-looking thing, short-form video with discorver algo and it became extremely addictive for a huge part of the population.
Now imagine an AI that knows your personality type, good at psychology, always supportive. Best friend ever. That creates a far stronger moat than any price or technical advantage of an AI coding tool.

what would be really cool (maybeme i missed it?), is for your tool show clear useful info on the "top panel", not just logo. Like mac-stats or littleSnitch do.
> So was Roman incompetent or just kissing ass hoping to become the President of Finance
Why do you think Apple sent the Vice President to such a high visibility trial and not the President, who is the person with the ultimate authority and accountability in Finance?
In any large enough organization (and I haven't stumbled on one where this wasn't the case), private or public, the people at the top are shielded by a "second in command" whose job is to take the hit if needed, with the promise that they're next in line for the big position. It's a requirement of the job, they do it and maybe get rewarded, or don't and absolutely get ejected. Sometimes it pays off and they get the coveted president, CEO, etc. position. Sometimes it doesn't and they go to prison or their career is completely derailed.
Survivorship bias says we only see the ones who managed to pull it off. If you look at any large company's CEO now, they're there because they took these hits or provided plausible deniability for the big boss in the past.
Could you please provide any proof for: “if you look at any large company’s CEO, they’re there because they took these hits or provided plausible deniability for jig boss in the past”.
Never thought from this angle, interesting theory

The first study described was conducted in 1975.
Good to see the high IQ revolutionaries at DOGE are working 80 hours a week for no pay just to shitpost.
I’m curious about the reasoning behind this approach. Surely, Elon Musk and his team are smart enough to recognize the legitimacy of such research. Initially, I thought this kind of content was just playing to the lowest common denominator—a form of low-effort clickbait. However, this strategy risks alienating more educated or critical followers.
Given Musk’s intelligence and the capabilities of his team, I’m struggling to understand the logic here. Is it meant to drive engagement by polarizing opinions, or is there some deeper strategic intent that I’m missing?
I wish Claude app has voice input like chatGPT, for someone who's bad at typing like me - it's essential part that is missing

They do, you can get the little dongle and it has superior audio quality to most audiophile DACs on the market.
But that 3.5mm port takes up a lot of room that could be used for more battery, backup antennas for when the user's hand is covering one of them, vibration motors etc.
I'm pretty sure you could find justification even for why top models don't support microSD card expansion. The problem with this line of argument is that if they wanted to, they could support both without any issues. The real reason is money. It's more profitable to have Bluetooth only when you also make AirPods, and not include storage expansion when you sell built-in memory options at a 400% markup.

I would gladly laugh, but it's nearly impossible to buy a good phone now. TBH I don't care that much about my phone not having a 3.5mm (even if I would need to use wired headphones, which is very rare now, I can use an USB adapter for that), but there are basically no phones without this stupid hole in the display, or with a good dedicated (not under screen) fingerprint scanner (because who needs that, when you can have face recognition, right?) All top-line phones are like $1500 now, but still are considered like disposable products that are naturally expected to be changed every 2 years. Batteries are not removable, yet devices are not actually (reliably) waterproof.
And maybe I'm wrong, but somehow it feels each improvement like that was actually pioneered by Apple. In the dreamworld of free-market enthusiasts this should have made Apple bankrupt or iPhone a very niche consumer device, but in the real world everything just became iPhone. There are some rare exceptions, but these are either outright experimental and gimmicky (because being different is their identity), or just bottom-of-the-line products that have these "intentional defects" that should make you chose the more expensive option.
i seems you exclude many android options, that have hidden selfie camera and good working fingerprint scanner. ZTE Axon 20 5G as an example.
