    And this is why the stock market, net worth and market cap are so stupid. Apple haven’t released anything yet, even microsoft haven’t really had an idea what AI is actually useful for, apart from their blatant spyware, but apple just go on stage, say “AI” a bunch of times and are the worlds most valuable company once more.

    Tell me it’s a silly opinion, but I don’t care about arbitrary stock news and I think they don’t belong in a place like c/technology. Even when it’s about the two biggest tech giants. I would like to discuss Apple’s AI if they ever have anything to show for it but until then it’s just hot air like their emission pledges.

    Alternatively: MSs AI plans and the negative reaction to them has reduced their value cf Apple

    Shouldn’t it be ‘wealthiest’ and not ‘most valuable’? Ever wondered bout this terms and possible incorrect use of words.

      Value is correct in this instance, I think.

      The number of shares and the price people are willing to pay for those shares is how “value” is calculated, I think.

      In contrast, “wealth” would be how much money they have in the bank.

    So when Microsoft says it’ll constantly screen shot your windows machine and then use AI on those screen shots, we all lose our collective minds, but when Apple unveils their system that’s fucking OS wide apparently, where the AI can literally see and interact with EVERYTHING, suddenly it’s worth celebrating?

    Like don’t get me wrong, both are horrible, but what’s up with the double standard? It’s like apple can do no wrong, despite the fact that they’ve been doing nothing but wrong for almost a decade now.

      In fairness, at least Apple isn’t bone-headed enough to take screenshots of your entire system every few seconds then store them unencrypted for any app that wants to access it to trivially do so.

      Maybe I missed it, but they don’t seem to have constant recording at all?
