Stephen Hackett commenting on the NYT article on what is wrong with Apple. I haven’t read the NYT article but Stephen’s comment is spot on:

For a company that says it doesn’t like looking back at its own history, very often, Apple makes decisions like it’s the late 1990s and the company is on the verge of failure. That drives it to make incredible products, but it also means Apple can be incredibly stingy. To play in the AI race, you’ve got to be willing to spend piles and piles of cash.

The world’s richest company unwilling to spend money on AI and now being caught flat footed doesn’t really come across as a surprise to us. Insert Khaby Lame meme here.
