Apple _really_ holds grudges.
After the Nvidia blamed them for their failing GPUs, they literally never shipped anything Nvidia ever again. There’s probably an alternate universe where metal does not exist because Apple and Nvidia became friends and just optimized cuda for macOS
- Jeff_Brown 3y agoThat's fascinating. I wonder how formalized and widespread this logic is -- did economists tell leadership, or did they just happen to organically hire spiteful leaders?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoAnything except tit for tat loses in game theory, so it's just spiteful
- ketzo 3y agoThis is such a weird example because of how not true it is The most classic game theory example ever, the Prisoner's Dilemma, is solved by cooperation when played iteratively instead of one-shot In general, lots of systems can reach an equilibrium of cooperation
- czzr 3y agoThat is tit for tat - cooperate first and then only defect if your opponent defects, otherwise keep cooperating.
- NovaDudely 3y agoHolding grudges is what Apple does. I remember Jerry Pournelle on Twit.TV saying he reviewed the original Mac and said it was a bold vision but ultimately a toy. A great idea but with not enough RAM to make it really useful. Steve jobs saw the review and took action. Jerry said the 512KB Mac was excellent but that point it was too late. He was black listed for life from having any early access to hardware for review and was never allowed to an Apple conference ever again. This was in place until Jerry's death 33 years later.
