There’s definitely always been vibes of this off the PC market. So hard to get one that’s “nice” y’know what I mean. There are some notable high end PC vendors but they typically sell direct. In the high street, it’s lemons all the way down

To me the conclusion is that the DSM is out of date. Not the document, or specific iteration itself but the mindset driving it. When DSM was simpler and we didn’t know as much about mental illness, then what DSM was trying to achieve wasn’t

I’m not against for profit so much as the monetisation of engagement. The web has always had a revenue problem. For a time this was solved by “advertising” and that was massively successful and what we see here is the result of that. There

Given Apple’s moat is their devices, their particular spin on AI is very much edge focussed, which isn’t as spectacular as the current wave of cloud based LLM. Apple’s cloud stuff is laughably poor.
