  • everyone is kind of giving snarky answers with a couple helpful tidbits in between but the true answer is:

    trump is polling well. current polling indicates that trump is doing good enough at what is expected of him, which at the moment is simply running a campaign that will beat the democratic candidate.

    people only really start calling for dropping out en masse when polls start to significantly falter because it’s an indication that the candidate is no longer running a competitive campaign.

    it will be interesting to see how apple tries to instill consumer trust for doing something technally less secure than microsoft’s on-device copilot garbage (which was kind of a PR failure as we all know). as always, apple knows when to innovate and knows when to follow the leader

    don’t get me wrong, both companies are profit seeking entities but it’s always impressive how apple uses marketing to pull off parallel implementations with 99% less uproar. in my view, articles like this are a grassroots of what it’s planning to maximize support

    edit: to be more clear this is an apple enthusiast comment; i am inspired/in awe by apple’s marketing talent and product strategy. i am just highly critical of the AI trend going around












  • It’s all marketing. You likely only know that Dominos had the system patented because it slaps a big patent number right on the tracker. The fact that you’re discussing it is essentially free advertising and increases brand awareness. So, this post suggests that the investment in patent lawyers was likely worthwhile for the company.

    Largely, consumers seem to derive the below listed perceptions when they recognize that a product is protected by a patent:

    1. When a message about a product being protected by a patent is conveyed, the company as a whole is perceived to be innovative
    1. The patented product is perceived to be superior
    1. The patented product is perceived to be unique, as no one else can copy the patented product
