One point for I did run Whisper model locally and captured some good notes. Incomplete. Thought it would be a week long project but ended up not getting off the ground, then just kept lingering. New priorities take space. With P/Renovate AI I might revisit this again. But let's archive this as 'incomplete'. I shall return. - Started this project on Sep 26th, 2022.

The Apple thing is really big news because it kind of goes to show you that you had a pretty progressive legislative framework in South Korea. I don't think it's particularly a huge market for Apple because most of the app activity I think is Android more than it is Apple. But they basically just seeded the market and by deciding to basically conform to this law, then they started with these reader apps and allowing payments. It's a beginning of the beginning for the app stores to be deconstructed and opened. This just so people understand, Apple said it would allow media apps to create in-app links to sign up pages on those companies' websites, allowing the likes of Spotify and Netflix to bypass the iPhone makers' cut of subscriptions. Now, of course, you can use Spotify and Netflix on your phone, but you may have probably people haven't experienced this because they've already become members of it and did it on their site, but you can't actually pay through your phone and you can't sign up through the app. They were technically not allowed to link to it, so this is a small, small concession only to media folks. So, what do you think, Saks? Well, I think Tramoth has kind of said this at the beginning of the end. I think there's some truth to that. Look, I think the root of this is the fact that Apple has this 30% rate on any in-app purchases. Like Bill Gurley said, it's a rate too far. Just because you can charge 30%, doesn't mean you should charge 30%. Ultimately, this is why the whole ecosystem has been up in arms. They've formed an industry coalition to challenge Apple that resulted in a lot of legal challenges, lawsuits, and a lot of these companies like Spotify and Tile, they testify against Apple in hearings. So, I think this 30% rate has ultimately backfire in Apple, it's created a huge backlash, and now they're paying the price. They've already had to roll it back for these so-called reader apps. So, you know, if what you're doing is buying a subscription to say Netflix, Netflix will now be able to redirect you to the website, you can buy it there, and then consume the content on your iOS app without Apple getting a part of the split. But this now opens the door for this type of thing to apply to games as well, where there's a lot more in-app purchases, like Fortnite, right? So, I just think this is a case where, you know, what's the old line that pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered? Apple has been a hog and now it's getting slaughtered. Yeah. All right, by the way, I want to point out, like, this is a really interesting experience of the free market, you know, clearly consumers and the developers on the app store ecosystem were vocal and angry enough that this behavioral change from Apple, the structural change kind of came to bear. It didn't require regulatory intervention. I just want to point out how important and relevant that is that you have the market is functional. The market is functional. And having the government and regulators come in and, you know, people complaining to the Senate about Google and Apple and monopolizing them out of their businesses, ultimately gets resolved when enough, there's enough kind of collective mass from the consumer slash partner that says to the big incumbent player, we're not going to play by these games anymore, but he's rules anymore. I got to think Lena Khan being appointed did make Apple think maybe it's a good start, maybe it's getting a fear here, right? To kind of to kind of start giving concessions, right? Some modest concession that yeah, if you're a Spotify or a Netflix or audible, we're going to let you buy through the app. Do you want to live regulation and implementation? Well, yeah. Don't you think this is a nice win for the free market? Yeah, I do. Well, look, I don't think monopolies are, I don't think letting monopolies do whatever they want is free market. Okay. I mean, monopolies and competition, they will squash innovation, they will, you know, they will basically get in the way of permissionless innovation. So, I'm in favor of reading in these monopolies and the two big issues I think with Apple and Google, well, Apple especially is number one, side loading of apps. So the idea that they have total control over what apps get loaded onto your iOS device, people want the ability to create alternative app stores that already exists for Android, right? So I think that is coming for Apple. Apple claims is a security issue, but it is. I mean, what they should do is if you click on side load apps, it should just give you a warning, you're no longer protected by us, you know, you're, you're subjecting yourself to phishing scams, your information, and buyer beware, and then people can make their own decision. I've always thought that would be the best decision for what I like about this is I think this gives Apple the ability to now just compete against everybody in the app store without having to have this, you know, well, we're partners with you. They are not partners with people in the app store. They watch the app store and when something great comes and emerges, they will copy it. They just do it slower than Facebook. So Apple Music studied Spotify and they created their own Apple product. Apple TV Plus now with Ted Lasso is competing against Netflix. They watch Netflix and I signed up for Apple Arcade for my daughters because I didn't want them to be paying for like, you know, in app purchases, I'd rather just have the games be stop upselling them and that's been wonderful for five or 10 bucks a month to have that and I pay for the news product. So now they can just compete against everybody directly. I think all of these media companies are going to be video games podcasts, TV shows and music. So I don't know if you saw Netflix is going to be doing podcasts about their shows and video games. I think Amazon will be video games content. It's all going to be one thing and Disney Plus will have games built into Disney Plus and that subscription price. So the consumer is going to win ultimately. You know, I think monopolies are good because monopolies are just like lazy and it's easier to innovate and compete against a monopoly to be honest than it is to compete against cronism when there's kind of embedded, got a government regulation that prevents emerging competitors from competing effectively. It's a lot harder to win than against some slow big, uninnovative monopoly and well, yeah, go ahead. Well, here's the kind of argument. So I agree with you that big, slow, lumbering monopolies can be great to compete against. But here's the problem. When they could pull access to an ecosystem when they're gatekeepers, that's the problem because now you have to go to them and they're going to be slow, lumbering and stupid in terms of allowing you to innovate. And when they see you becoming a threat, they'll squawk to you. That's the problem. If these guys didn't control platforms, that would be one thing. But they control the most important platform there is, which is the operating system. So I just think that, you know, this is Microsoft and Windows all over again, except there's two of them, right? There's iOS and Android. Well, in Microsoft, for example, you could load whatever software you wanted. They were just bundling. They weren't saying you couldn't load that, uh, net scape. They're just saying we're going to give you Internet Explorer with the operating system. So this is even worse. I mean, Apple said you can't even install your app. Yeah. Microsoft was actually pretty opened by comparison, but there is like a version of bundling here. What Spotify said is, look, when we have to pay 30%, and Apple music doesn't have to pay anything, we can't compete with that. You know, and they have a point there. - #gp3/prompt A detailed summary of the text above with a list of takeaways: - 1. The market is functional and Apple's decision to allow media apps to create in-app links to sign up pages on their websites is a win for the free market. - 2. Monopolies can squash innovation and permissionless innovation, and Apple has been a hog in this regard. - 3. The root of the issue is Apple's 30% cut of in-app purchases, which has created a huge backlash from the app store ecosystem. - 4. Allowing media apps to bypass the iPhone maker's cut of subscriptions is a small concession, but it opens the door for games and other apps to follow suit. - 5. Ultimately, this is a win for consumers as it allows them to directly access content from media companies without having to go through Apple's app store. - It also highlighted a line in the text. Interesting. - #DALL.E/prompt - Used the 5 bullet takeaway to generate an images. Which were interesting but useless. I think I would need gp3 to generate a prompt for dalle hmm. - FAIL. - #gp3/prompt A DALL.E prompt and a 3 bullet summary of the text above - 1. Apple is now allowing media apps to create in-app links to sign up pages on their websites, bypassing the iPhone maker's cut of subscriptions. 2. This is a small concession that opens the door for games and other apps with in-app purchases to follow suit. 3. The root of the issue is Apple's 30% cut on in-app purchases, which has resulted in a huge backlash from the app store ecosystem. - I like this better. - #DALL.E/prompt - A thumbnail for a podcast that discussed the following topics.... - {:height 292, :width 631} - FAIL - Another prompt: A news paper headline stating that Apple is now allowing media apps to create in-app links to sign up pages on their websites, bypassing the iPhone maker's cut of subscriptions - FAIL.
