It is great to hear Steve Wozniak saying how tech is not intuitive or user friendly anymore, and how we don't own anything anymore and it's subscriptions and all these updates all the time, and how things were simpler before. So it's not just me!!! I was feeling like I'm getting so behind the times or something, and all these people putting their noses up at me loving all the updates or something, and to me things are getting worse. If Wozniak is saying the same thing as me, I share good company when it comes to complaining about tech.

It’s pretty clear that he’s still very protective of big tech but not above criticising it. And he should be criticising it. He’s had his hand in leading tech for years. He has the expertise and knowledge. So for him to say “many other companies are as bad as TikTok” was so refreshing. His view on AI is also quite progressive. AI is good in computing and language but unreliable in content generation. I just hope he had said the words “regulation” but I guess that’s a scary word for any big tech.

Is it just me, or did that interviewer have one hell of a makeover mid interview? I have a very simple view of this: if you edit content you are an editor, not just a carrier. Just like Bloomberg is responsible for edited content, so is KZfaq and so are all the other 'social media' platforms. It you composite content with advertising that is editing. If you selectively push particular content to particular audiences, that is editing. If you attribute particular content as coming from particular authors, you are responsible for ensuring that attribution is correct. The carrier argument (by analogy with a telephone company) only works if you (the carrier) are not making ANY editorial decisions.

If a medical board certified a doctor who turned out to be underqualified and nefariously was looking to harm their patients, that medical board would be partially responsible. These social media sites now have these verification processes that aren't stringent. And bad actors can exploit that to scam. And that should be talked about more.

It was KZfaq doing the targeting in service of the scam promoters who were paying Google. Think of it this way: if a scammer pays me to participate in promoting their illegal fraud and I make lots of money by finding & referring to them those most likely to become victims of the scam, shouldn't I as a promoter of that fraud also be liable for my participation?

KZfaq has a responsibility to not look like it's endorsing the scams on its platform in any way -- I think that's the point Wozniak was making, and it's a good point. Another way KZfaq could deal with this is eliminate the obvious scams. The more subtle ones might still be there, because you don't want to kick off people where there are "false positives" for scammy behavior, but at least get the obvious ones.

Due respect to Woz: A sticky, compelling ecosystem does not define a monopoly. A monopoly is about exclusive control over the market or the availability of choices for anyone in the market looking to engage those choices. You are not a monopoly if, for instance, the use of your product or service creates such strong customer loyalty that customers are willing to pay a premium for it. So, to say, “To its users, Apple is a monopoly,” tends to turn the concept of monopoly on its head. IMO: The need for government to step in and protect the public from antitrust or similar behaviour should arise because there’s no serious competition. Once there is, merely charging a premium for the convenience afforded by its ecosystem does not in itself make out an antitrust or anticompetitive practice. Once there is competition, you are free to set any price you want, or any rules you want, in a free market. And consumers are free to treat as they see fit. Also, the view that those locked into the Apple ecosystem have nowhere to go is not correct. There’s hardly any digital resource I have on the Apple ecosystem that cannot be migrated to Android or Windows. People switch platforms everyday. People use both systems side by side, and easily share data across them. Government is going to have a hard time making this case. Especially since, for instance, the install capacity of Android and Windows each individually exceeds that of iOS and MacOS respectively.

@user-kg1od9es5d 2 ай бұрын

Apple have created a monopoly - but not in the traditional sense. Thats why guys like you fail to understand the notion of which Woz is defining a monopoly. Consumers choice is Apple. But why? Because Apple through innovation and strategy created an ecosystem for which once a consumer buys one device, they will buy the whole suite. Their whole life becomes APPLE. Now what this means is they can just be stagnant on innovation whilst maximising dollar return from each consumer -> which is exactly what they've done. Well done Apple. What does this mean for competition? They literally have no way in - zero. People won't switch if the fundamentals of their life is locked into a whole suite of devices. This means the consumer is paralysed and can't actually make a CHOICE! It is no longer a 'free market'. Unless Apple royally fcks things up, consumer's aren't changing. Even if there are better alternatives for them on the market. P>S> I'm a big apple advocate and have been for many years. However, I have a balanced perspective and can cut through the BS.
