Judging by what I’m seeing, Apple is using a lot of automation of late in app review. And it’s not going well.

@craiggrannell They always did - it’s literally impossible to human-review thousands of apps per day. I bet there're few steps & tiers for that, depending if that's an update, how long there was no human review etc..

But from what I’ve heard, this runs macOS. You know what that means, though? iPadOS couldn’t get us there, so Apple is making bets in other places — like a touch-based macOS. But why would Apple maintain two touch-based computing platforms? Do they even have that bandwidth? Is this perhaps where iPad Pro will end up in a few years time? Will macOS gain a much more SpringBoard-like layer, and then replace iPadOS entirely on the top end iPads?

@craiggrannell @stroughtonsmith For me it was rather a try to make windowing system: but we HAVE to make it different than 35 year old conventions 🤷‍♂️

It seems that this issue was basically nailed with first Macintosh, and really this is some kind of global or at least local optimum for this class of problem.

I'm struggling to see an acquisition path for Humane; what unique technology would a potential acquirer be picking up? The hand projector? Software wise any AI features they've demonstrated so far (even if working as advertised) are going to be rapidly outstripped by newer, better models. A talent acquisition? They certainly have some beautiful industrial design, but you don't really need to buy the entire company if you want to poach that. Brand? 😅

@stroughtonsmith I can imagine Apple here (probably they too 😅) - their technology might be applied to Apple Watch or some other wearable that Apple might try to do as well. But as you said, can't Apple, with their potential, just copy the good stuff and hire their best people? 😅
