Timing-wise, there's no real reason for Microsoft to leave OpenAI's board after just eight months unless it was being used as a bargaining chip or to try to avoid more regulatory scrutiny. And, I think in this case, both things are true.

Qualcomm has slightly beat a machine Apple released a year and a half ago and no longer sells because they sell newer, faster machines. Machines which remain faster than Qualcomm's despite being nearly a year older in the market themselves. Yay?

It has been a few hours here in London, when do the men wearing fur, face paint, and horns show up to see about the government transition?

Every single post right now is either the Economist cover of Biden's Presidential Seal walker or Zuck in tux wakeboarding with a beer and the American flag. Two Americas. 🇺🇸

Since everyone in tech simply must have a Biden take, here’s my simple one: We all likely have old people as relatives. We get what it’s like as they age. We all likely *don’t* have narcissistic conmen as relatives. That’s impossible to relate to. And as such, to equate to.

Microsoft must in part see this as letting the fox into the henhouse. The very expensive henhouse built with Microsoft's money!

Grateful for @mgsiegler.com’s smart look back on my 2017 profile of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang for @fortune.com, and for Barry Ritholtz’s newsletter nod to it this morning. It was a delight to report + write and I think about it often now that AI is inescapable. spyglass.org/the-envy-of-...

Rhetoric from all sides aside, I don't think Apple pulling their AI features from the EU is good for anyone. For the EU. For Apple. For EU citizens. For the rest of us.

Apple to the EU: "No AI for you!" Why? Because payback is a bitch, that's why. (But it's also a smart stick to swing move given that such tech is months away at best, and likely far longer beyond English.)

Anyway, this all just remains a weird own-goal by Apple. They hired Jon Stewart because he's Jon Stewart. Then they fired Jon Stewart because he was Jon Stewart.

The third episode of ‘The Acolyte’ is rough. I don’t know what’s worse: if they’re trying to write like George Lucas in the prequels or they’re not trying to do that.

Apple and NVIDIA didn't quite have the "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders" beef, but they had beef, nonetheless. Which makes today's milestone more fun.

How will it all shake out? Probably similar to the way Netflix vs. HBO did. Which is to say, completely different than the way anyone thought. (Yesterday's ⭕️Inner Ring⭕️ column):

That's a common norm, dating to television (and even radio, in a way). (Also, you can pay to get out of it, with YT, at least.) Hijacking a scroll on a phone is very different, as discussed.

I'm sorry, Instagram, you're not allowed to hijack this user interaction in this way. It's one thing to delay a tap, it's another to halt a scroll. It's a UX bridge too far.

And so they have to continue to partner with a partner with which they’re increasingly at odds. While that partner also partners with other partners which will put the two sides even more at odds. It’s all quite odd. ⭕️🔒
