The tech tycoon martyrdom charade

I’ve been saying this for a few years now, but it’s worth recording here for the record: It’s impossible to overstate the degree to which many big tech CEOs and venture capitalists are being radicalized by living within their own cultural and social bubble. Their level of paranoia and contrived self-victimization is off the charts, and is getting worse now that they increasingly only consume media that they have funded, created by their own acolytes.

Safari 16.4 Is An Admission

…if Apple isn’t facing ongoing, effective competition, it can just reassign headcount to other, “more critical” projects when the threat blows over. It wouldn’t be the first time.

So, this isn’t over. Not by a long shot.

Safari 16.4 is an admission that competition is effective and that Apple is spooked, but it isn’t an answer.
