Definitely agree, the term “intelligence” is a misnomer here. LLMs have no idea what they’re doing, and don’t have true understanding or knowledge, and yet they’re still very useful for many common tasks. That alone is disruptive to the economy, even if it’s a far cry from superintelligence.

Am I wrong that folks seem to be conflating “AGI” with “conscious” or “sentience”? I feel like AGI is a lower bar, that the AI is as capable as humans at most tasks, but it’s not the singularity.

Every conversation must include at least one reference to “white genocide.”

“New features users have asked for” is a bold assertion. I’m not sure people are really looking for AI to know everything about them, at least in my experience.

TIL, thanks. Have they published a breakdown of those numbers before?

I’d assume that services revenue is a vast majority direct services (Music, TV+, iCloud) versus in-app purchases from third-party developers. Right?
IAP is definitely a big portion of the cathedral, but they have a ton of other sources for services revenue.

You should start by getting off of Substack. Safe harbor for nazis.

It will depend on the developer, for sure. But I imagine many of them would consolidate on Stripe or similar so they get all their revenue in one platform.

I think they are at least as world-changing as iPod or iMac were. Likely hundreds of times more customers’ lives impacted than the TiBook.

I would add AirPods and Apple Silicon to Cook’s list. The services lineup (TV+ in particular) certainly changed the company, but not quite the world.
Not sure the TiBook qualifies as “world-changing,” but otherwise I agree your points are valid!
